Sync is a process of collecting insights from a server. An insight might be for example a current memory utilization, a load balancer status, an action to enable firewall etc. You can find recently executed tasks below the title of each resource (server, application, load balancer etc).

Every action in ClusterWare that you perform on your infrastructure is asynchronous and encapsulated as a task. A task serves as the fundamental unit that specifies the collection of insights to be collected.

A task can be executed for resources of one cluster only (no cross-cluster tasks).

The execution of tasks is managed by a component known as a worker. The worker is responsible for running the task and ensuring that all specified insights are collected.

The tasks are executed by workers in chronological order. If there's no free workers available, the task needs to wait in the queue for the next available worker that finishes its task. Workers can execute only one task at a time.

The number of workers in your account is limited depending on your account type. If you need more workers to execute more tasks simultaneously, please contact ClusterWare support.
