Your Autodesk Vault jobs run in the background.

Your confidence shouldn't.

Live monitoring, alerts and KPIs for your Autodesk Vault Job Processors.
See what your automation is really doing, from one machine to a whole fleet.

- THE BLACK BOX

If you run powerJobs or the Vault Job Processor, this sounds familiar.

A file is released, a PDF is created, a DXF is exported, data flows to another system and all of it happens silently in the background. That silence is the whole point of automation. It's also the problem. 

Is the Job Processor running right now?

Did last night's batch publishing succeed?

Why is that one PDF drawing msising?

Is the machine overloaded or is the job just slow?

Today, answering these means walking to the machine, remoting in, and reading local log files.  The smaller your setup, the more familiar this failure mode is: the one Job Processor stops on Friday afternoon, and nobody notices until Monday, when three days of jobs are queued and engineers are blocked.

Background automation without visibility is a black box

You only open it after something has already gone wrong, such as a missing PDF, a blocked engineer, or a weekend nobody was watching. 

- WHAT IS IT

A cloud cockpit for everything your
Job Processors does

Job Processor Cockpit is a coolOrange Labs prototype: a cloud-based web cockpit for your Autodesk Vault Job Processors. A small agent on each machine reports job, status and performance events to the cloud. You and your team sign in with your Autodesk ID and see, live, what is happening, what happened, and what needs attention 

It doesn't touch your jobs

powerJobs and the Vault Job Processor keep doing the work exactly as before. The Cockpit only makes that work visible, measurable and alertable.

Useful with one machine or a fleet

One machine means one blind spot and the Cockpit removes it. Several machines additionally get load comparison, per-machine KPIs, and a clean answer to "which machine?".

You and your team sign in with the Autodesk ID people already have.

- WHAT YOU GET

Everything you need to trust your
automation

Eight views into your Job Processor, fleet from a live dashboard to KPIs your team can stand behind.

01. DASHBOARD

The Monday-morning check, in one glance

Processor status in real time, job success and failure ratios, failing job types, and a busiest-hours heatmap that shows when jobs pile up during the week. 

 Real-time status per processor 
Busiest-hours heatmap by weekday
Answering 'Did the weekend run cleanly?' now takes one glance, not one log session. 

02. ALERTS THAT FIND YOU

Get told, don't go looking

The Cockpit posts alerts as JSON to a webhook of your choice, for example a Power Automate flow that forwards them as email or Microsoft Teams messages. 

Alerts when a processor stops or goes silent (crashed / unreachable) 
Alerts when the failure rate crosses your threshold 
A test button and documented sample payloads to build the flow fast

03. JOB JOURNAL

"The PDF never appeared", solved in a minute

Every job execution in one searchable, filterable grid: status, timing, duration, machine, description and result message, with live row highlighting as new jobs arrive. 

Search and filter every job across every machine
Open any job to inspect its parameters
No more remote session and log hunt for support cases 

04 - PERFORMANCE TRENDS

Overloaded machine or just a busy one?

 See daily average and peak CPU and memory for every Job Processor machine, covering both the machine as a whole and the Job Processor's own work.

System CPU vs. Delegate Host CPU & memory, side by side 
Spot a memory leak as a growth trend, not an outage
Compare machines at a glance

05 - JOB LATENCY KPIs

The earliest signal outgrowing your setup

How long do jobs wait in the queue before a processor picks them up? Per day, per machine, per job type plus turnaround times and the top 10 slowest jobs 

Rising queue wait flags capacity issues before users complain 
Top 10 slowest jobs, by machine 
The data behind the decision to add a second machine 

06 - AVAILABILITY KPIs

"Since when was it done?" gets a precise answer

An availability percentage per machine, the share of time in each processor state, and daily breakdowns. 

Recurring patterns jump out, every patch Tuesday
An automation uptime number your team can stand behind 
Started / paused / stopped / not available, per day

07 - REPORTING INTEGRATION

Your job numbers in the report, management already reads

A read-only OData feed exposes jobs (including duration and queue wait time), processors, and daily performance and availability rollups to any OData-capable client. 

Built-in step-by-step guidance to connect Power BI, including scheduled refresh 
Works with any OData-capable client 
Read-only by design and nothing can write back into your data 

08 - MADE FOR ENGINEERING TEAMS

A good permanent citizen on a second monitor

Sign in with the Autodesk ID people already have. Admins manage users and roles themselves. Processors get friendly nicknames and colors used consistently across every chart so charts say "EDM Production", not "VM-JP-02". 

Hardware swap? History merges into the successor machine 
Years of job history stay in one line

- HOW IT WORKS

A lightweight agent. A durable
cloud pipeline

On each Job Processor machine, a lightweight agent watches job execution, processor state and machine performance, and posts events to a dedicated cloud ingestion endpoint using your account's access key.

Agent watches

Job execution, processor state and machine performance, locally on each machine.

Events posted to the cloud

Sent to a dedicated ingestion endpoint with your account's access key.

Stored durably, first

Events are accepted immediately and stored before processing, so a restart or deployment on the Cockpit side never punches holes in your job history.

  Security by design: each account keeps its own jobs, processors, users and keys. Consultants and multi-site organizations can switch between accounts in one cockpit. 

- GETTING STARTED

From zero to your first live job,
in four steps

On each Job Processor machine, a lightweight agent watches job execution, processor state and machine performance, and posts events to a dedicated cloud ingestion endpoint using your account's access key. 

step-1

Contact Us

Reach out to get a test account for Job Processor Cockpit

step-2

Sign In

step-3

Install the agent

Copy your access key from the Local Setup page and run the agent installer on your Job Processor machine. 

step-4

Watch it live

See your first jobs appear on the dashboard, then configure alerts so the Cockpit watches for you.

labs-flask A coolOrange Labs prototype


Job Processor Cockpit is a research prototype, not a shipping product. We built it to answer a question we hear from Vault and powerJobs customers of every size: "How do I know my job automation is healthy?"

 It's stable enough to run against real environments, which is exactly the feedback we're looking for, but it comes without product-level maturity, support commitments, or availability promises. If visibility into your Job Processors would change your daily operations, we want to hear about your environment: how many machines, which job types, where it hurts.
