# MV\_TASKS

This view provides a detailed profile of all currently running tasks on all nodes of the cluster.

It holds a row per running task. Each row reports the profiling statistics of the task, as collected between the time it began and the current time.

`mv_tasks` may only be queried while connected to an aggregator node.

SingleStore recommends against extensive use of this view. It will hide the performance impact of short-lived but frequent tasks, and exaggerate the impact of long-lived tasks.
