Which symptom indicates that a job in Tanium Connect did not run?

A job in Tanium Connect that did not run can be identified by the absence of any indication of failure or success after the scheduled time. This scenario suggests that the job did not start or complete its execution, resulting in a lack of status updates.

In operational contexts, when a job is expected to begin at a designated time but individuals monitoring it see no notification of completion or failure, this points toward a malfunction or breakdown in the job scheduling process. Essentially, successful tracking of job execution hinges on these feedback signals; without them, it leads to questions about whether the job was ever initiated.

Other symptoms may suggest issues but do not concretely indicate that the job failed to run at all. For instance, a job completing successfully but yielding no data could imply an issue with data collection or processing rather than the job not running. Similarly, a lack of a user session for the owner of the connection could indicate administrative or permission issues, rather than a job execution problem. Finally, a job running successfully with incomplete results might mean that the job executed but did not capture all expected data, concluding successfully despite the data gap. Therefore, the clearest symptom indicating that a job did not run is the absence of any feedback—neither success nor failure—
