Whenever you launch any job on your service instance, for example, an application deployment or service restart, a log is created that tracks the progress of that job. The Job Logs page displays all jobs you have run, including those in process. The page shows the jobs by job number, name, status, and start and end time. You can also click a link that opens a window containing the details of the log. From this window you can open a copy of the log and, , if necessary, download it to your own file system for later review (the log is downloaded as a .zip file). You can also download job logs from the Job Log page.
