Automic AE Archive Browser
Automic Automation accumulates vast amounts of historical execution data over time. The Automation Engine (AE) DB Archive utility (
ucybdbar) exports this data from the AE database into archive files on disk - but without a dedicated viewer, searching that history means writing scripts or digging through raw files. AE Archive Browser is a standalone web application that reads those archive files and makes them instantly searchable through a modern browser interface. It builds a full-text Lucene search index from your archive files and keeps it up to date automatically as new files arrive - no connection to the live AE system required at query time. Operators and support engineers can filter millions of historical executions, read execution reports, and browse AE system messages in seconds. A complete REST API exposes all the same capabilities programmatically, enabling integration with external monitoring, reporting, and ticketing systems.
