    Jobs
    ), and select
    Panorama
    (default) or the firewall for which you want to see the tasks.
  3. Perform any of the following actions:
    • Display or hide task details
      —By default, the Task Manager displays the Type, Status, Start Time, and Messages for each task. To see the End Time and Job ID for a task, you must manually display those columns. To display or hide a column, open the drop-down in any column header, select
      Columns
      , and select or clear the columns as desired.
    • Investigate warnings or failures
      —Read the entries in the Messages column for task details. If the column says
      Too many messages
      , click the entry in the Type column to see more information.
    • Display a commit description
      —If an administrator entered a description for a commit, click
      Commit Description
      in the Messages column to display it.
    • Check the position of a commit in the queue
      —The Messages column indicates the queue position of commits that are in progress.
    • Cancel pending commits
      Clear Commit Queue
      to cancel all pending commits (
      available only to predefined administrative roles
      ). To cancel an individual commit, click
      x
      in the Action column (the commit remains in the queue until Panorama dequeues it). You cannot cancel commits that are in progress.
