Viewing the Status of Long-Running Tasks
Some tasks that you can perform on the ASA FirePOWER module, such as applying a policy or installing updates, do not complete instantly and require some time to run. You can check the progress of these long-running tasks in the task queue. The task queue also reports when they are successfully or unsuccessfully resolved.
Viewing the Task Queue
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.
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.
You have two options:The Task Status page appears in a pop-up window.
For information on the actions you can perform on the Task Status page, see Managing the Task Queue.
