# Getting Task Status

All Ignite Services tasks are assigned a unique `taskId`. This ID is provided in the callback and/or broadcast for the orginating method call, such as `install()`, `performAction()`, `getApplicationDetails()`, etc.

To get the status of a task, call the [`getTaskInfo()` method](/dt-ignite/ignite-services/sdk-reference/get-task-status.md) and include the `taskId` of the task you want to monitor.

The following sequence diagram outlines the process of using the DTIS SDK to retrieve the status of a task.
