Is it possible to identify the state of a scheduled task. Not reading the event log and seeing if something has been written recently. I need to go the scheduled task and see what its actual state is.
Is this possible?

Yes you can do it by Task Manager API. Kibana Task Manager is leveraged by features such as Alerting, Actions, and Reporting to run mission critical work as persistent background tasks.
> **[Task Manager | Kibana Guide \[7.x\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.x/task-manager-production-considerations.html)**
> **[Task management API | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.14\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/tasks.html)**
Returns information about the tasks currently executing in the cluster.
Hope this helps

You would need to supply a little more detail as I have yet to work out how to extract scheduled task information into Kibana/elastic.
Event viewer information is not appropriate, what I need is the state of a scheduled task at any time.
