Task Manager taking few minutes to load (Slow)

ET — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 15:38:38 GMT

In my PA3220 there are 16k items in task manager - all jobs and it takes few minutes to load.

Is there a way to delete it or something?

Hi @ET ,

The Task Manager is designed to retain a history of tasks until the firewall is rebooted. For clearing individual jobs, enter the following in the CLI:

> show jobs all > clear job id <job_id>

That would delete only 1 job, while I need to delete thousands.

Restart the management plane. This will clear all jobs (except recent few)

The cli command:

debug software restart process management-server
