Worker Deamon

Introduction

The different steps from the Workflows are performed as a series of worker daemon jobs which this screen in the Monitoring reports.

The worker daemon jobs can have the following statuses

Status	Meaning	Color

Status	Meaning	Color
`waiting`	Job has yet to be picked up	WHITE
`processing`	A worker daemon is currently processing the job	BLUE
`accepted`	The job was completed and executed as expected	GREEN
`rejected`	The job was completed but the execution followed not the standard flow. For example the job `MD5_CHECK` will finish with status `accepted` if the MD5 was the same as the expected value; it will finish with status `rejected` if the MD5 value was wrong.	ORANGE
`failed`	An unexpected issue occurred, for example, a connection timeout with the destination storage The job can be restarted by pressing the play icon next to the status `error`	RED

Worker daemon jobs have a priority which is calculated according to the rule described in Worker daemon fairness
Jobs with a higher value of priority are executed first, this is the opposite of priority Transcoding Monitoring where jobs with a lower value of priority are executed first
