Manage a Run
Review each server’s results, continue after the canary server, cancel a run, or retry only the servers that did not succeed.
Before you start: A run you started from a playbook, a template or the command runner.
- 1
Open the run
Starting a run opens it. Later, find it under Runs in Automation, which lists every run newest first and can be filtered by type and status. A server’s page also links to the runs that touched it.

Review each server
Servers are listed by status. Open one to see its preflight checks, each step with its outcome and attempts, and its output as it arrives. Download log saves that server’s output as a text file.

Confirm the canary
When the first server succeeds, the run pauses and says so at the top. Review that server’s output, then choose Continue on the remaining servers. If nobody confirms within 24 hours, the run is cancelled and the other servers are left untouched.
- 4
Cancel a run
Cancel run stops work on servers that are still running and skips servers that have not started. Everything that already happened stays recorded.
- 5
Retry failed servers
On a finished run, choose Retry servers that did not succeed. A new run starts for the failed, blocked, skipped and cancelled servers only, linked to the original. Fix anything the preflight reported first.
