The dashboard is the main place to monitor and manage Octoparse tasks. It helps you check task status, review recent runs, and access actions such as running, stopping, editing, or exporting task data.

What you can monitor

The dashboard helps you track:
  • Task list and task groups
  • Run status
  • Cloud extraction progress
  • Recent task activity
  • Errors or failed runs
  • Data availability
  • Export readiness

Typical dashboard workflow

1

Find the task

Locate the task from your task list, group, or search.
2

Check run status

Review whether the task is idle, running, completed, stopped, or failed.
3

Open run details

Check logs or run history when you need to understand what happened.
4

Review data

Confirm that extracted records are available before exporting or syncing downstream.

Common status checks

What to checkWhat it tells you
Task statusWhether the task is currently running or completed
Run historyWhen the task last ran and whether it succeeded
LogsWhere an error or warning occurred
Data countWhether records were extracted
Export statusWhether results are ready for download or delivery

Best practices

  • Check the dashboard after creating or changing a task.
  • Use run history to compare successful and failed runs.
  • Review data count before assuming a task worked correctly.
  • Use logs when cloud runs fail or return incomplete results.
  • Keep task names clear so they are easy to find.
The dashboard gives a high-level view. For detailed troubleshooting, use logs and event tracking.
