AmazonECSClient.DescribeTasks Method (DescribeTasksRequest)

Describes a specified task or tasks.

Currently, stopped tasks appear in the returned results for at least one hour.

If you have tasks with tags, and then delete the cluster, the tagged tasks are returned in the response. If you create a new cluster with the same name as the deleted cluster, the tagged tasks are not included in the response.

Note:

For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to DescribeTasksAsync.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ClientException	These errors are usually caused by a client action. This client action might be using an action or resource on behalf of a user that doesn't have permissions to use the action or resource. Or, it might be specifying an identifier that isn't valid. The following list includes additional causes for the error: The RunTask could not be processed because you use managed scaling and there is a capacity error because the quota of tasks in the PROVISIONING per cluster has been reached. For information about the service quotas, see Amazon ECS service quotas.
ClusterNotFoundException	The specified cluster wasn't found. You can view your available clusters with ListClusters. Amazon ECS clusters are Region specific.
InvalidParameterException	The specified parameter isn't valid. Review the available parameters for the API request.
ServerException	These errors are usually caused by a server issue.

Examples

This example provides a description of the specified task, using the task UUID as an identifier.
