Monitoring a Bulk Import
There are two ways to monitor an import, either:
Via a Web Browser
Once an import has been started, it can be monitored on the Imports tab of the destination Project.
- Open the Flywheel Core Web App
- Navigate to the destination Project to which the data should be imported
-
Navigate to the "Imports" tab of the destination Project (in the overflow menu)
-
On the Imports tab, locate the import job in the list
A brief summary of the import job can be viewed in-line on project imports page, including the following information:
- Label (name)
- Data source (External Storage)
- User who started the import job
- How much time has passed since the import job was started
- Current status of the import job
- Overflow menu with more actions
More details about the progress of the import job are available in the "Details" dialog, which can be found from the overflow menu on the import job line.
Via the New (BETA) CLI
Alternatively, you can monitor the import via the CLI using the following procedure.
If you have closed the terminal but still want to monitor the import from it, you can reopen the progress display. To do this, you will first need to locate the import job ID by running the following command:
Similar to the fw-beta admin storages list command, the fw-beta import list command also has similar options for filtering, sorting, skipping, and changing the length of the list to help locate a particular import job. Append the -h flag to the command to see these options.
Once you have the import job ID, run the following command to resuming monitoring the progress:
Where <id> is replaced with the ID of the import job to be monitored.
You can exit out of this progress display by pressing Ctrl+c or by simply closing the terminal window altogether. This has no effect on the import job itself -- the import will still continue to run.
