Am I missing something really obvious? I have a very long list of of jobs on the jobs page. Most of them are jobs that run every 5 minutes on a time schedule. I also have jobs that run as the result of a directory watch. I want to find the last time this workspace was run or even just display those jobs that are spawned from this workspace. I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment. This must be easy to do?

If you're on FME Server 2016 you can filter by user, but that's about it. For earlier versions there is basically no filtering available. So no, you're not missing anything obvious.
I completely agree with you this being an inconvenience. I have several instances that run about 10k jobs per day, so just imagine the fun trying to locate a specific job if you haven't got the job id handy... Not only is it very clunky, but the GUI itself gets pretty slow when you have tens of thousands of entries to wade through. @daleatsafe, it would be fantastic to have this improved for 2017!

There is always the option of using FME to create your own Jobs page.
The Job information is stored in a table in the FME Server database (default PostGres) and can be retrieved using the PostGres reader.
That will allow you to (for example) retrieve only the last log per workspace.
Hope this give you some new ideas.
You can also get that information via the REST API, see for example :
