this morning I encountered a “problem” I face from time to time: I noticed that the NS-VM slowed down notably. Started a search, I found a backup job to take unusually long. What was going on: Last week I reconfigured the backup scheme not noticing that the incremental / full backup was changed, too. What happend? The full backup routine is still running - which is of course OK.
Now my proposal on Proxmox there is a task history added as a table showing the status of running and finished processes. Please find a screen shoot:
Besides the fact that I tried out some certificates within proxmox and recived quite a lot of errors - would it be possible to integrate such list of tasks in NS, too? It would be lovely to have something like that directly below the dashboard to see, e.g. if a (backup) job is still running or finished and what was the result of the job.
Not only log viewing - tasks can be terminated from there directly, and the output is shown directly…
A typical use in Proxmox is a manual backup - to the wrong storage. Using this, the job is terminated, and the VM is (usually) unlocked again. If you just kill the job from the console, the VM WILL remain locked, meaning a second command is needed: qm unlock VM-ID…
Clicking on any task will also show progress on that task, if available.
I’d like to add my voice to this suggestion. I think a task list like Proxmox has with the ability to stop a task if necessary (good suggestion @Andy_Wismer).
