About checking system status in the global monitoring area
The Task Status in the global monitoring area shows the number of alerts and user tasks for these
conditions:
•
Waiting
•
In Progress (In Progress, Stopping, Stopping Immediate, Canceling, or Deleting)
•
Completed (Completed, Canceled, or Stopped)
•
Failed
Information displayed in the global monitoring area includes links with details. Clicking these links
allows you to perform task-related operations from a dialog box, or to display the Task List window.
To avoid displaying completed or failed tasks, move these tasks to the History page so they will not
be displayed in the global monitoring area. In addition, you can specify the aggregation period by
user for the number of tasks that are displayed for Completed or Failed.

monitoring area. The aggregation period can be specified for each user.
To set data retention:
1.
Click the Completed or Failed task link.
2.
Click Edit Duration.
3.
Specify the aggregation period for number of tasks.
