The Tasks panel displays the most recent tasks, the most recent events, and the upcoming events.
Events are logged whenever some action related to the system or the workload occurs. For example, an event could be the addition of a new workload, the replication of a workload starting or failing, or the detection of the failure of a migrated workload. Some events also email automatic notifications if SMTP is configured. For more information, see Section 4.12.3, Setting Up Automatic Email Notifications of Events and Reports.
Tasks are special operations tied to events that require user intervention. For example, upon completion of a Test Cutover operation, the system generates an event associated with two tasks: Mark Test as Success and Mark Test as Failure. When you click either of the tasks, the Test Cutover operation is canceled and a corresponding event is logged.
The Tasks and Events panel on the dashboard displays a maximum of three entries. To see all tasks or to see past and upcoming events, click View All in the appropriate section.
