=== cat task management API

beta::[The cat task management API is new and should still be considered a beta feature. The API may change in ways that are not backwards compatible.]
Returns information about tasks currently executing in the cluster,
similar to the <<tasks,task management>> API.

[[cat-tasks-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
The cat task management API returns information
about tasks currently executing
on one or more nodes in the cluster.
It is a more compact view
of the JSON <<tasks,task management>> API.
