Metrics Related to Various Job Events

The diagram below shows the metrics related to various job events.

The job monitor monitors the start, the runtime and end of the job instance.

The monitor creates or sends updates of metrics, depending on the job status change (Planned > Active > Cancelled/Finished) or rating change due to metric threshold values.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.
