  1. Job statuses
  2. Job types

Job statuses

AnsibleForms sets the following statuses on a job. The list shows the status as it is stored, and colors the row by it:

Status Meaning What you can do
running The job is running, or an approved job has resumed Follow its output, abort it
approve The job waits at an approval point before it runs (or before a step of a multistep runs) Approve or reject it, if one of your roles is an approver
success The playbook, template or every step finished without errors View the output, relaunch, delete
failed The job ended with an error, or the launch itself failed View the output to see why, relaunch, delete
warning A multistep finished, but a step that has continue set failed View the output, relaunch, delete
aborted The job was aborted from AnsibleForms, or the AWX / AAP job was canceled View the output, relaunch, delete
rejected An approver rejected the job; it never ran View the output, relaunch, delete
abandoned AnsibleForms stopped tracking the job (see Abandoned jobs) Check the managed hosts, relaunch, delete

running rows are blue, success green and failed red; the other statuses are shown in amber.


Job types

The job type is the type of the form that started the job:

Job type What runs
ansible An Ansible playbook, run by AnsibleForms itself
awx A job template or workflow template on AWX / AAP
multistep A sequence of steps, each recorded as a job of its own type (ansible or awx) under the main job

See Ansible forms, AWX forms and Multistep forms for the form side.
