When you run 'show tasks' with 'details-level full', each task has a uid and a task-id, which are different:
[Expert@labStandalone:0]# mgmt_cli -r true show tasks --format json limit 1 details-level full
{
"tasks" : [ {
"uid" : "e3a07b41-cb04-4df7-aaf1-310fba048cf6",
"type" : "task",
"domain" : {...},
"task-id" : "924fb037-9b19-4e8d-8290-c2173e213dce",
"task-name" : "Policy installation - Standard",
...
'show object uid ____' works for the UUID in the task object:
[Expert@labStandalone:0]# mgmt_cli -r true show object uid "e3a07b41-cb04-4df7-aaf1-310fba048cf6" --format json
{
"object" : {
"uid" : "e3a07b41-cb04-4df7-aaf1-310fba048cf6",
"type" : "task",
"domain" : {
"uid" : "41e821a0-3720-11e3-aa6e-0800200c9fde",
"name" : "SMC User",
"domain-type" : "domain"
}
}
}
Out of curiosity, I tried adding 'details-level full', and got an error:
[Expert@labStandalone:0]# mgmt_cli -r true show object uid "e3a07b41-cb04-4df7-aaf1-310fba048cf6" --format json details-level full
{
"code" : "generic_error",
"message" : "Runtime error: com.checkpoint.management.coresvc.ngm_api.task_notifications.TaskNotification incompatible with java.util.Collection"
}
This doesn't affect me right now, it's just something I found odd, and thought was worth reporting.
Edited to add: Forgot to include my version. I'm on R80.40 jumbo 87. Updating to 91 later tonight, but I doubt it will change the behavior.
