Promotion jobs
Manage Machine Data Lake promotion jobs using the Promotion jobs tab of the Catalog in Splunk Cloud Platform.
The Promotion jobs tab of the Catalog lists the Machine Data Lake promotion jobs that you own or have permission to manage. In Splunk Cloud Platform deployments with search head clusters, each promotion job is available only in the specific search head where the job was created.
Use promotion jobs to process subsets of data from Machine Data Lake raw tables into datasets that are more optimized for searches.
The Promotion jobs tab displays information such as the following:
-
The name of the dataset created by the promotion job
-
Whether the promoted dataset is an analytics table or Splunk index
-
Whether the dataset was populated by a static promotion or streaming promotion
-
The status of the promotion job, such as Active, Complete, or Canceled
-
The date and time when the promotion job was created
Select a promotion job to view additional details such as when the status was last updated and the raw table that the promoted data originates from.
For complete information about promotions, see the Land Data in Machine Data Lake manual.
