How to review job status for workflows executed by other users

[Noah-Waite]

I need to develop an audit log of jobs executed via Alteryx Server. I can quickly utilize the /v3/jobs/{jobId}/messages endpoint to review all jobs; however, to identify the job's status (e.g., Completed, Running, etc.), the /v3/jobs/{jobId} endpoint only allows me to review jobs executed using my credentials.

Is there another way to retrieve this information via the Server APIs, or is the only way to extract this information by connecting directly to the MongoDB? Important to note, I am the Server's Curator.

Thanks.

Hi @Noah-Waite ,

I believe MongoDB is your only option, there you will have access to all manual and scheduled executions. You can access all job executions in the AS_Queue collection in the AlteryxService DB.

Hello,
As Server Curator, you can access broader job metadata via the `/v3/jobs` endpoint with admin-level API keys, but for full audit logging across all users—including status—you’ll likely need direct MongoDB access. The Jobs collection provides comprehensive execution details not exposed via standard API calls.
