Viewing the Task Queue
License: Any
When you perform long-running tasks, such as applying a policy or installing updates, the status of these tasks is reported in the task queue. The task queue provides information about complex tasks and reports when they are complete.
You view the task queue on the Task Status page, which automatically refreshes every 10 seconds.
The Job Summary section displays the state of the tasks listed on the page, as described in the following table.
|
Task Type |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Running |
The number of tasks currently in progress. |
|
Waiting |
The number of tasks waiting for an in-progress task to complete before running. |
|
Completed |
The number of tasks that completed successfully. |
|
Retrying |
The number of tasks that are automatically retrying. Note that not all tasks are permitted to try again. |
|
Stopped |
The number of tasks that were interrupted due to a system update. Stopped tasks cannot be resumed; you must manually delete them from the task queue. |
|
Failed |
The number of tasks that did not complete successfully. |
The Jobs section provides information about each task, including a brief description, when the task was launched, the current status of the task, and when the status last changed. Tasks of the same type appear together in a task group.
To make sure that the Task Status page loads quickly, once per week, the ASA FirePOWER module removes from the queue all completed, failed, and stopped tasks that are over a month old, as well the oldest tasks from any task group that contains over 1000 tasks. You can also manually remove tasks from the queue; see Managing the Task Queue for directions.
