GET /v1/actions
Get the status of all running, pending, or completed actions on all clusters, nodes, and databases. This API tracks long-lived API requests that return either a task_id or an action_uid.
This API does not return any information about other actions, such as import, export, and backup. To get info about these actions, use GET /v2/actions.

GET /v1/actions
Returns a JSON array of [action objects]({{< relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/objects/action" >}}), which represent tasks, and an array of [state-machine objects]({{< relref "/operate/rs/references/rest-api/objects/state-machine" >}}).
| Field | Type/Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| action_uid | string | The action's globally unique identifier |
| name | string | Name of the running or failed state machine |
| progress | float (range: 0-100) | Percent of completed steps for the action |
| status | "pending" | |
| "active" | ||
| "completed" | ||
| "failed" | The action's status | |
| node_uid | string | UID of the node where the operation runs (optional) |
| object_name | string | The object that the action runs on (optional) |

pending_ops is a map where the key is the shard_id, and the value is a map that can include the following optional fields:
heartbeat: The time, in seconds since the Unix epoch, since the last change in the progress of the operation.
snapshot: A map of properties stored by the operation that are needed to run.
last_sample_time: The time, in seconds since the Unix epoch, when the last snapshot of the operation was taken.
op_name: The name of the operation from the state machine that is running.
status_code: The code for the operation's current status.
status_description: The operation's current status.
progress: The operation's progress in percentage (1 to 100). |
Regardless of an action’s source, each action in the response contains the following attributes: name, action_uid, status, and progress.
