Nodetool tasks list

tasks list - Gets the list of task manager tasks in a provided module. An operation may be repeated if appropriate flags are set.

Syntax

.. code-block:: console

nodetool tasks list <module> [--internal] [(--keyspace <keyspace> | -ks <keyspace>)] [(--table <table> | -t <table>)] [--interval <time_in_seconds>] [(--iterations <number> | -i <number>)]

Options

• --internal - if set, internal tasks are listed. Internal tasks are the ones that have a parent or cover an operation that is invoked internally.
• --keyspace or -ks - shows only tasks on the specified keyspace.
• --table or -t - shows only tasks on the specified table.
• --interval - repeats the operation periodically at specified time intervals.
• --iterations or -i - repeats the operation specified number of times.

For example:

Shows all repair tasks on keyspace myks and table mytable:

.. code-block:: shell

nodetool tasks list repair --internal -ks myks --table mytable

Shows all non-internal compaction tasks and repeats the operation 3 times every 5 seconds:

.. code-block:: shell

nodetool tasks list compaction --interval 5 --i 3

Example output

For single list:

.. code-block:: shell

task_id                              type   kind scope    state sequence_number keyspace table entity shard start_time           end_time
5116ddb6-85b5-4c3e-94fb-72128f15d7b4 repair node keyspace done  3               abc                   0     2025-01-16T16:12:11Z 2025-01-16T16:12:13Z

With repetition:

.. code-block:: shell

task_id                              type   kind scope    state   sequence_number keyspace table entity shard start_time           end_time
