Orphaned Job (No Runs in 30 Days)

A job definition that has not run in a month is configuration that is maintained, permissioned and inherited by whoever owns the workspace, with no output to show for it.

Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.

Found, explained, handed over.

Findings with a dollar figure attached, idle, oversized, orphaned, unscheduled and undiscounted spend.

01

Detect

ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, with read-only access to the account.

02

Explain

Every finding says exactly what to change: Delete the job that has stopped running. Where the saving can be proven it is priced; where it cannot, the finding says so.

03

Fix

The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.

Applies to
Databricks Job on AWS, Databricks Job on Azure, Databricks Job on Google Cloud
The fix, by hand on AWS
  1. Confirm the job is no longer needed (check its schedule and recent run history).
  2. Delete the job, or pause/disable its schedule if it may be needed later.
  3. Clean up notebooks, libraries, or clusters the job kept pinned.

These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
