Viewing the Tasks for a Processing Discovery

If a discovery is currently running, you can view all tasks for that discovery. You can use this view to troubleshoot issues with your discovery, and to cancel a running task. For each task, you can see:

What Does the Task Status Indicate?

The status of the tasks in your discovery give you information about the how your discovery is being processed. You can view the status of a task in both the processing and finished task views of a discovery. By default, tasks are grouped by status. The following table outlines the statuses you may see:

Pending

When a discovery is run, each task has to be assigned to a node. If the node is already running its maximum number of concurrent tasks, the task is Pending. It is in the queue, and will be assigned to a node when one becomes available.

Dispatching

When a node becomes available, the task is sent to it for processing. While this is happening, the task status is Dispatching.

Processing

The task is running on the assigned node

Canceling

The server has received your request to cancel the task, and is communicating this to the node.

Canceled

The task has been canceled.

Finished

The task has successfully completed.

Failed

The task has completed, but was unable to collect all of the data you requested. For more information, see Viewing errors and statistics for tasks .

Rejected

A task is rejected if the same target is already being accessed by a node within the cluster. This can happen when the same discovery is run more than once within a short time.

Why is My View Empty?

Two views in the Configuration Manager show currently processing tasks or discoveries: the cluster’s queue, and the active tasks view. If there is nothing currently being processed, these views will be empty.

Viewing Errors and Error Suppressions

When there are errors during the discovery, a red indicator appears beside the discovery and a check mark indicates if any error suppression rules have been defined for that discovery. If you drill into a task view, you can identify the exact task that caused the error. Then, for that task, you can view a list of errors, which explains what was happening at the time of the error, and the problem that was encountered. If you are searching for a specific error, you can filter the errors to help narrow your search. You can also save the errors for a task to a file.
