What is Magento 2 Cron Scheduler?
Cron is a time-based utility that is used for managing repetitive tasks. Using the cron, store admins or employees who manage the environments can run commands and scripts (also known as “jobs”) automatically at a specified time.
Magento 2 uses a specific file with the instructions for each job - a crontab (cron table). The unix-cron format is used for scheduling the jobs.
Challenge
Proper cron configuration is crucial for the correct website performance. It especially concerns vital features based on periodically scheduled activities, e.g. site re-indexation, export, import, generating Google sitemaps, Magento emails, etc. Also, managing cron jobs of both Magento 2 and external extensions requires strong technical skills and plenty of time.
Solution

Easily manage all existing tasks running both by Magento and external modules on a single grid.

EFFECTIVELY MONITOR ALL CRON TASKS
Visualize and solve errors on the timeline view
On the timeline, you can view all running and scheduled cron tasks in chronological order. Each task is represented as a mark of definite color so that you can easily detect cron tasks execution errors alongside successful and pending tasks. Also, each mark has a definite width depending on a task processing time. This helps you to define tasks which slow down other tasks work and timely modify the appropriate jobs schedule.
Save up managing time thanks to improved usability
Choose the most convenient way to handle the Cron Timeline grid. Use ‘Zoom in’ and ‘Zoom out’ buttons or hold ‘Ctrl + Scroll’ to scale the grid. Use ‘Scroll’ to move to the top or bottom of the grid. Run execution manually any time it is needed by clicking the ‘Cron Run’ button. Also, Magento 2 Cron module lets you obtain details on each separate task on the mouse hover (the status of task, its ID, the "Scheduled at" and "Finished at" date, time, etc.).
Diagnose the cron work
The Magento 2 Cron Scheduler extension provides a separate grid listing all scheduled and executed tasks. Here you can find valuable insights to diagnose the work:
- Check if cron works on the server;
- Monitor if cron generates and processes task;
- Detect execution errors.
Operate all tasks on a Cron Tasks List grid
Run all existing tasks and generate their schedule by clicking the ‘Run Cron’ button. Also, clear Magento 2 cron schedule tasks in bulk, apply filtering and sorting options when it is needed.
Easily manage all jobs in one place
Magento 2 AOE scheduler gathers all cron jobs of third-party modules together with native Magento ones on a special Cron Jobs List grid. That’s why it is easy to monitor and manage the overall store cron work process. Also, the grid provides you with sufficient info on jobs, including a cron task status, group, schedule, etc.
Eliminate execution errors and delays
In case you find any errors on the previous grids, here you can solve problems by reconfiguring the appropriate jobs. Easily change the frequency of cron tasks by modifying a job schedule right on the grid. Simply click on its record line and make the necessary changes.
Run any jobs out of schedule
Start cron run and create tasks for a particular job any time you need by applying the ‘Run Job’ action.
Keep an eye on the execution process
To monitor the process in real-time and be aware of each issue, you can configure automatic email notifications and trigger them every time a task fails. Choose an email sender, specify the recipients, configure a subject and content in the admin panel. To make notifications maximally informative, you can use variables to generate email subjects and content. For example, add {{job_code}}, {{executed_at}} and {{message}} to the subject to see all required data without opening each particular email. The same variables can be applied to the content. Thus, you can automate email sending and timely notice all issues concerning cron jobs in Magento 2.
Set time filter on notifications
If you enable email notifications, you can face spamming in some cases. The extension allows you to avoid 'spamming' from frequently executed jobs. If there is a multifunctional job that runs every 5 minutes, then it would disturb you with emails every 5 minutes as well. Using the time filter option you can specify the time period when a single job will not disturb you with the same failure email after the first message was sent, e.g. if the setting value is 60, then any multifunctional job will be able to send you notification not more than once per hour. Don’t worry about missing important info - the feature does not affect notifications from other jobs.
Let your web store communicate with the search engines quickly and properly
Automatically generate XML Sitemaps according to the search engines requirements. Make your content become noticed much faster and speed up indexation with Magento XML extension.
Increase the chances for your emails to be actually delivered to customers
