List dpump jobs in the Admin tool
List running dpump jobs within the Saffron Admin GUI tool. As it is now (ver 2913), ingest jobs created within the Admin tool are listed, but dpump jobs are not. So unless an admin or dev runs "ps -e | grep dpump" from the command line, he/she won't know that an ingest job is running.

Jay, dpump was developed long before SaffronAdmin was built and as a result was not integrated into Admin. We will at some point (hopefully soon) re-host the dpump command line on our REST APIs. This will come together with hot backup. Channeling ingestion through a single path will be key for hot backup. At this point, it would be a fairly significant effort to incorporate 2913 dpump into admin.
If you just want to see if an ingest is happening in a space, you can issue the space REST API and get the 'ts' (transaction status) property (values: 'normal', 'ingesting', 'phase1', 'phase2'). Normal indicates no ingestion where the other 3 status' indicate ingestion. I don't remember exactly when this feature became available, but I don't believe it is part of 2913.
For now, 'ps' might be your best bet. I realize it is sub-optimal, but if it is un-managable, we could look at doing something else.
Thanks,
Jim
