TaskRunner

Scheduled and on-demand task execution with visibility and logs.

TaskRunner helps teams define repeatable task types, run them by schedule or on demand, track every request, and keep execution status, logs, and results in one place.

Without TaskRunner Manual and scattered execution
  • Different scripts in different places
  • Schedules hidden in separate tools
  • Unclear status and ownership
  • Logs are hard to find later
TaskRunner Controlled task requests
  • Reusable task types
  • Scheduled or on-demand runs
  • Request status and progress
  • Execution logs and results
The issue

Operational tasks need repeatability.

Many operational jobs start as scripts, utilities, checks, scans, or manual commands. Over time, teams need a controlled way to run them repeatedly and understand what happened.

What teams need

A shared task execution process.

Teams need clear task definitions, schedules, run requests, status tracking, logs, and results without relying on personal scripts or disconnected tools.

How TaskRunner helps

One place to define, run, monitor, and review.

TaskRunner organizes execution into task types, schedules, requests, statuses, logs, and results so operational work becomes visible and repeatable.

Business Challenge

Recurring tasks should not depend on tribal knowledge or hidden scripts.

When task execution is scattered, teams lose visibility into what ran, when it ran, who requested it, whether it succeeded, and where the results are stored.

01

Task definitions are inconsistent

Scripts, executables, plugins, and operational checks may be documented differently or stored in different locations.

02

Schedules are hard to govern

A task may need to run by schedule, by request, or with different parameters, but schedule ownership and run history can be unclear.

03

Execution status is not visible

Teams need to know whether a task is submitted, queued, running, completed, failed, retried, or cancelled without checking multiple systems.

04

Results are difficult to audit

When logs and results are not stored centrally, teams cannot easily prove what ran or compare previous executions.

Why It Matters

TaskRunner turns operational automation into managed requests.

Instead of treating each script or utility as a separate process, TaskRunner provides a consistent model for task types, schedules, execution requests, status updates, logs, and results.

Reusable task types

Define the task once with its parameters, schedule behavior, execution rules, and expected results so teams can run it consistently.

Visible request history

Each execution request keeps the requester, schedule, parameters, status, start and end time, logs, errors, and result information together.

SPAVLA Solution

TaskRunner manages scheduled and on-demand execution from request to result.

The solution separates task definition, scheduling, request creation, execution processing, monitoring, and result review so each task can be managed consistently.

Task setup
Define type Create reusable task types for scans, checks, scripts, utilities, plugins, or other repeatable work.
Configure schedule Run tasks on a schedule or allow authorized users to submit on-demand requests.
Set parameters Capture the inputs needed for each task execution without changing the task definition.
Execution visibility
Create request Every scheduled or on-demand run becomes a trackable execution request.
Monitor status Follow submitted, queued, running, completed, failed, retried, and cancelled states.
Review result Keep execution output, errors, timestamps, and result notes together for review.
What users can do

A controlled task execution model for operational automation.

Users can request and monitor

  • Run approved task types on demand when needed.
  • View task request status and execution progress.
  • Review output, errors, and result notes after completion.

Operations teams can govern

  • Define reusable task types and execution parameters.
  • Configure scheduled and on-demand execution behavior.
  • Track logs, results, retries, and failures from one place.
  • Use plugins, scripts, or executables where appropriate.
Business Benefits

FAQ

Is TaskRunner only for scheduled jobs?

No. TaskRunner supports scheduled execution and on-demand task requests, depending on how each task type is configured.

Does TaskRunner replace existing automation scripts?

No. TaskRunner can organize scripts, executables, plugins, and repeatable tasks into a managed execution model with status, logs, and results.
