Import status details
Just a few ideas for features and/or documentation that would make it easier to debug. I know adding these features to the web UI might be a fair amount of work and prioritized fairly low compared to other things, so maybe one option would be to post instructions on how to do these things manually from a shell on the box.
- Be able to view the Plaso file processing queue, including when it was submitted and who submitted it.
- Be able to view what is currently being processed, and how long it has been processing (and when it was submitted)
- Be able to kill processing jobs.
A low hanging fruit might be to show celery status in the webUI.
A progress bar could be done with something like that: https://buildwithdjango.com/blog/post/celery-progress-bars/
Another hacky way would be to get the file size and give some rough numbers e.g. 6 GB Plaso file might be > 1h
We have the progress bar implemented in the new UI. Managing the queue is a different problem and is tracked in #684
