Administration Guide
The Zenoss Job Manager runs background tasks, such as discovering a network or adding a device. When you ask Zenoss to perform one of these tasks, it adds a job to the queue. Jobs are run by the zenjobs daemon.
Note
Not all jobs run in the Job Manager. When running other Zenoss jobs (in the foreground), do not navigate away from the current page until the job completes.

From the Navigation menu, click Settings.
From the Settings area, click the Jobs tab.
