Clone status from command line

[loadedmind]

Hey all. I'm trying to figure out a way to check the status of a clone from the command line instead of having to login through the web gui.

1. List active tasks:
   

   root@host:~# cat /var/log/pve/tasks/active
   UPID:host:12345678:90ABCDEF:FEDCBA09:vzclone:133:root@pam: 0
   UPID:host:DEADBEEF:FEEDBAC4:09876543:vzsnapshot:133:root@pam: 1 12345678 OK
   ...

2. Identify task's "sorting character" - the last digit of the task's unique reference string. In the example above, the first task's unique references string is 12345678:90ABCDEF:FEDCBA09, and thus the sorting character is 9.
3. Open the task's status file:
   

   root@host:~# cat "/var/log/pve/tasks/9/UPID:host:12345678:90ABCDEF:FEDCBA09:vzclone:133:root@pam:"
   create full clone of mountpoint rootfs (vmdata:subvol-133-disk-0)
   
   Number of files: 443,701 (reg: 301,302, dir: 137,504, link: 4,864, special: 31)
   
   ...
   
   total size is 48,399,223,717  speedup is 1.01
   TASK OK

Hi,
for get the progress of last task executed:

tail -f /var/log/pve/tasks/$(cat /var/log/pve/tasks/active | grep -v OK | grep -v failed | head -1 | cut -d: -f5 | awk '{print substr($0,length,1)}')/$(cat /var/log/pve/tasks/active | grep -v OK | grep -v failed | head -1 | awk '{print $1}')

I would recommend using API/pvesh:
pvesh get /nodes/pve-1/tasks -typefilter qmclone

further filtering can be done via "jq" for particular time and status
