List Tasks

GET /config/server/tasks/

Lists the tasks from the background work queues that the Gerrit daemon is currently performing, or will perform in the near future.

Gerrit contains an internal scheduler, similar to cron, that it uses to queue and dispatch both short and long term tasks.

Tasks that are completed or canceled exit the queue very quickly once they enter this state, but it can be possible to observe tasks in these states.

End-users may see a task only if they can also see the project the task is associated with. Tasks operating on other projects, or that do not have a specific project, are hidden.

The caller must be a member of a group that is granted one of the following capabilities:

As result a list of TaskInfo entities is returned.

The entries in the list are sorted by task state, remaining delay and command.
