Engine Workloads

A workload is an application that runs a continuous task such as a background service. Workloads can have various versions, known as deployments.

  • Similar terms: payload, release

  • Each platform service or feature that uses Engine Management defines its own workloads.

  • Engines carry out the execution of these workloads.

  • Deployments are similar to versions or editions of a workload. Each workload's engine runs a single deployment.

The following workloads run on the Delinea Platform Engine.

Workload Deployment States

State Description
Pending The deployment has been accepted by the engine, but one or more of the entry points has not been set up and made ready to run. This includes the time the deployment spends waiting to be scheduled and the time the engine spends downloading packages over the network.
Running The deployment has been bound to the engine, and all entry points have been created. At least one entry point is still running or is in the process of starting or restarting.
Succeeded All entry points in the deployment have terminated with success, and will not be restarted.
Failed All entry points in the deployment have terminated, and at least one entry point has terminated in failure. The entry point either exited with non-zero status or was terminated by the system.
Unknown The state of the deployment could not be obtained. This state typically occurs due to an error in communicating with the engine where the deployment should be running.
None The engine did not select this deployment to be run.

Workload Log Directories

Individual workload logs are kept in the deployment directory:
C:\ProgramData\Delinea Engine\deployment

For example, logs for the Delinea Collector are located at:
C:\ProgramData\Delinea Engine\deployment\authorization\Delinea-Collector\[version]\log
