# Monitor Asynchronous Action Queues

(Available for IDOL Content and Agentstore components, IDOL Media Server, IDOL Connectors and CFS.)

The Asynchronous Queues page, available from the Monitor menu, shows information about asynchronous actions. It lists the actions that are queued, are being processed, and are finished. You can cancel pending actions, stop actions that are being processed, and view the results of actions that are complete. In other words, the Asynchronous Queues page provides an interface to some of the functionality available through the `QueueInfo` action. For more information about the `QueueInfo` action, refer to the online help for your IDOL component.

IDOL components have separate queues for each asynchronous action. In the Queue Name list, click the queue that you want to view. To temporarily stop processing the selected queue, click Pause Processing at the top of the page. The button changes to Resume Processing so that you can resume processing. To change the number of actions displayed on the page, change the value in the Records box.

The Asynchronous Queues page displays the following information for each action in the queue. (To change the columns that are visible, click Columns, and to refresh the page click Refresh).

Process Start Time | The time when the server started to process the action.
