There are two queues for jobs: the *current* and the *archive*
1345 1345
queue. Jobs are initially submitted to the current queue, and they stay
1346 1346
in that queue until they have finished execution (either successfully or
1347
not). At that point, they can be moved into the archive queue, and the
1348
ganeti-watcher script will do this automatically after 6 hours. The
1349
ganeti-cleaner script will remove the jobs from the archive directory
1347
not). At that point, they can be moved into the archive queue using e.g.
1348
``gnt-job autoarchive all``. The ``ganeti-watcher`` script will do this
1349
automatically 6 hours after a job is finished. The ``ganeti-cleaner``
1350
script will then remove archived the jobs from the archive directory
1350 1351
after three weeks.

1352
Note that only jobs in the current queue can be viewed via the list and
1353
info commands; Ganeti itself doesn't examine the archive directory. If
1354
you need to see an older job, either move the file manually in the
1355
top-level queue directory, or look at its contents (it's a
1356
JSON-formatted file).
1353
Note that ``gnt-job list`` only shows jobs in the current queue.
1354
Archived jobs can be viewed using ``gnt-job info <id>``.
