# Monitoring the status of a file transfer task
<a name="Appendix.SQLServer.Options.S3-integration.using.monitortasks"></a>

To track the status of your S3 integration task, call the `rds_fn_task_status` function. It takes two parameters. The first parameter should always be `NULL` because it doesn't apply to S3 integration. The second parameter accepts a task ID.

To see a list of all tasks, set the first parameter to `NULL` and the second parameter to `0`, as shown in the following example.

```
SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.rds_fn_task_status(NULL,0);
```

To get a specific task, set the first parameter to `NULL` and the second parameter to the task ID, as shown in the following example.

```
SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.rds_fn_task_status(NULL,42);
```

The `rds_fn_task_status` function returns the following information.
