# Monitoring Replication Tasks

After you create a replication configuration, VMS performs all tasks on all of the participating connected clusters that are required to complete the configuration of the replication group:

- Creates a replication peer on the source cluster for each of the destination peers.
- Creates any protection policies that you supplied the configuration for on the relevant clusters.
- Creates protected paths on all of the clusters with replication streams between the peers in the group as needed.

To monitor replication tasks:

- Select the Tasks tab. The following columns are displayed:

| Creation Time | Time of task creation. |
| --- | --- |
| Task Name | The name of a task. |
| Cluster Name | The cluster on which the task needs to run. |
| State | The state of the task: - Pending. The task has not yet begun. - Ready. - Failed. The task failed. - Running. The task is currently running. - Done. The task is complete. |
| Dependencies | The tasks that must be completed before this task can be done. |

The tasks are shown in the table until two hours after the last task is completed.

You can use the right-click menu to export any row or selected rows to a CSV file.
