# Get the status of a task

This service reports the status of a task.

A task is created when a service needs to perform a potentially long-running job. For instance, a task is created when you request to retry the push data [for failed trips](/enterprise/monitoring/request-to-retry-failed-trips.md) or [for failed crashes](/enterprise/monitoring/request-to-retry-failed-crashes.md).

When a task is created and awaits processing, its status is set to `PENDING`. Once processing begins, the status changes to `IN_PROGRESS`, and the `nbRemainingItems` field is updated as the task advances. Finally, when the task is completed, the status changes to `COMPLETED`, the `nbRemainingItems` field is set to 0, and the completion date is indicated in the `completedAt` field.

If the push trip service is paused while a task is in progress, its status is set to `CANCELED`.
