Managing Tasks and Logs
From the Tasks view, you can monitor progress of long-running tasks. The Task
Status table includes a summary of executing and recently completed tasks.
The Results tab includes a summary of per-operation results and the Execution
Logs tab includes the detailed log of the currently selected task or operation.
Cancelling Tasks
Cancelled tasks do not terminate until the operations that are already in-
progress are concluded. As such, it may take several minutes for a cancelled
task to terminate. In some circumstances, tasks may complete before
cancellation can take effect. To cancel tasks:

Log Entries
If a task result is selected, the Execution Log tab includes detailed
information on the selected task log. If a task result is selected, the log is
filtered to entries related to that specific result. Log entries consist of the date
and time of the entry, a log code, and a detailed log message.

then those tasks are terminated. You cannot clear tasks that are in progress.
