Execution statuses

Task run statuses and Dead Man’s Switch ping statuses.

Execution statuses

StatusMeaning
scheduledAccepted and queued to run
runningHTTP request in progress
completedFinished successfully
failedRequest failed or ended in error
cancelledStopped before completion
skippedNot executed (for example filtered as a duplicate in the dispatch window)
skipped_unverifiedSkipped because the account email is not verified

Verify your email if you see skipped_unverified on schedules that should fire.

DMS statuses

When Dead Man’s Switch is enabled on a task:

StateMeaning
PendingRun started; waiting for a ping within the grace period
okValid ping received (dms_status=ok, with last-pinged time)
MissedGrace period elapsed without a valid ping

HTTP outcome and DMS outcome are independent. A completed HTTP call can still be DMS-missed if your worker never pings.

How to read them

  1. Open the task execution list.
  2. Check the primary execution status for the HTTP attempt.
  3. If DMS is enabled, check ping / DMS fields on the same run.
  4. Use Missed pings when DMS is the failure mode you care about.
