An event is added to the Event Log whenever a Job, Task, or System Task either starts or finishes.

Tasks are run either as part of Jobs or individually instigated using the Director UI.

The following types of Task are logged:

• Process

• Snapshot

• Export

• Results Export

• External Task

• File Download

The following types of System Task are logged:

• OFB - a System Task meaning 'Optimize for Browse' - this optimizes written results for browsing in the Results Browser by indexing the data to enable sorting and filtering of the data. The 'OFB' task will normally run immediately after a Snapshot or Process task has run, but may also be manually instigated using the EDQ client by right-clicking on a set of Staged Data and selecting Enable Sort/Filter, or by a user attempting to sort or filter on a non-optimized column, and choosing to optimize it immediately.

• DASHBOARD - a System Task to publish results to the Dashboard. This runs immediately after a Process task has been run with the Publish to Dashboard option checked.
