Background Jobs

Proxbox uses NetBox's built-in RQ-based background job system for asynchronous and scheduled operations.

Scheduled Sync

The primary background job feature is scheduled recurring sync. See Scheduled Sync for full documentation covering:

  • Starting the RQ worker
  • Scheduling a sync from the UI
  • Viewing job status, logs, and errors
  • How recurring intervals work
  • Cancelling jobs

NetBox Job Infrastructure

All Proxbox background jobs are stored in NetBox's core.models.Job table and are visible under Operations > Background Jobs. No separate job database or external service is required beyond the Redis instance already needed by NetBox.
