Reading the Dashboard Health Card
The Dashboard Health card exposes the raw counts and transport/readiness fields behind the higher-level Scheduler Health metric.
Health card fields
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Service | Enabled or Paused QuantaCade Task Nudge service state. |
| Due Tasks | Eligible web-runnable tasks whose next execution is due/overdue. |
| Active Locks | Enabled tasks with a recent lock newer than the Scheduler timeout threshold. |
| Soft / Stale Locks | Eligible web-runnable tasks whose lock timestamp is older than the timeout threshold. |
| CLI-only Tasks | Enabled CLI-exclusive tasks with a known next execution; shown for awareness, not WebCron execution. |
| Execution | Current transport label: Joomla WebCron. |
| WebCron | Ready or Needs attention based on Schedule Runner, WebCron enabled state, and key presence. |
| Health Endpoint | QCTNH control endpoint retained for signed control/status compatibility; the current wake-up worker itself calls native Joomla WebCron directly. |
Change one variable at a time
When adjusting Reading the Dashboard Health Card, make a single deliberate change, Save where required, and then read the resulting Dashboard/Recent Activity state. This avoids confusing a timing-setting change with an unrelated WebCron or task failure.
Use Check WebCron when you only need local readiness confirmation. Reserve Test Connection for a full service-registration probe, because its real WebCron request can give Joomla one eligible task-execution opportunity.
