Propose new Mautic features
#MauticRoadmap Building Mautic together!
Adding an overview dashboard to Mautic where you can see the status of Cron Jobs
Has your proposal been discussed on the Mautic Forums already?
Yes - proposed by Astrylis on the forums here: https://forum.mautic.org/t/process-monitor-in-core-mautic/28247
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a user has to manage Mautic, cron jobs can be something of a mystery. It's one of the biggest support questions that we have, and a major cause of strife!
We should make it easier for people to get an overview of their cron job status, the paths of the crons, and what errors have been reported.
Describe the solution you'd like
A user friendly dashboard in the settings area where people can get an overview of the status of their cron jobs.
Describe alternatives or workarounds you've considered
There isn't really one.

Conversation with Dirk Spannaus
From my perspective, if cron jobs are setup correctly the first place, no application user should be interested or bothered by this anymore. We created a little "cron boost plugin", which allowed to trigger cron jobs from the backend, which is handy when working on campaigns and testing them.
But watching cron jobs run via the UI?
There are other shortcomings that have real impact at the acceptance of Mautic in organizations: data privacy features (currently Mautic can't yet be used in full compliance with the law without hacks) and also multilingual support (emails are well supported, while e.g. forms are not) is not finished yet.
Sorry.
Totally get your viewpoint here, but to be clear this is not something we'd be making from scratch - it's already been created by a business because they needed greater oversight of their cron jobs and where they were failing, and they wanted to contribute it to Mautic. So it's not taking any time that would be otherwise directed elsewhere, other than for the code review and testing.
