=== Pending cluster tasks API
++++
<titleabbrev>Pending cluster tasks</titleabbrev>
++++
Returns cluster-level changes that have not yet been executed.
[[cluster-pending-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET /_cluster/pending_tasks`
[[cluster-pending-api-prereqs]]
==== {api-prereq-title}
* If the {es} {security-features} are enabled, you must have the `monitor` or
`manage` <<privileges-list-cluster,cluster privilege>> to use this API.
[[cluster-pending-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
The pending cluster tasks API returns a list of any cluster-level changes (e.g.
create index, update mapping, allocate or fail shard) which have not yet been
executed.
NOTE: This API returns a list of any pending updates to the cluster state. These are distinct from the tasks reported by the
<<tasks,Task Management API>> which include periodic tasks and tasks initiated by the user, such as node stats, search queries, or create
index requests. However, if a user-initiated task such as a create index command causes a cluster state update, the activity of this task
might be reported by both task api and pending cluster tasks API.
[[cluster-pending-api-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=local]
include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=master-timeout]
[[cluster-pending-api-response-body]]
==== {api-response-body-title}
`tasks`::
(object) A list of pending tasks.
`insert_order`::
(integer) The number that represents when the task has been inserted into
the task queue.
`priority`::
(string) The priority of the pending task. The valid priorities in descending priority order are: `IMMEDIATE` > `URGENT` > `HIGH` > `NORMAL` > `LOW` > `LANGUID`.
`source`::
(string) A general description of the cluster task that may include a reason
and origin.
`executing`::
(boolean) True or false, indicating whether the pending tasks is currently getting executed or not.
`time_in_queue_millis`::
(integer) The time expressed in milliseconds since the task is waiting for
being performed.
`time_in_queue`::
(string) The time since the task is waiting for being performed.
[[cluster-pending-api-example]]
==== {api-examples-title}
Usually the request will return an empty list as cluster-level changes are fast.
However, if there are tasks queued up, the response will look similar like this:
[source,js]

{
