Managed Object Description

TaskHistoryCollector provides a mechanism for retrieving historical data and updates when the server appends new tasks.

Properties

Name Type Description
latestPage*TaskInfo[]

The items in the 'viewable latest page'. As new tasks that match the collector's TaskFilterSpec are created, they are added to this page, and the oldest tasks are removed from the collector to keep the size of the page to that allowed by SetCollectorPageSize.

The "oldest task" is the one with the oldest creation time. The tasks in the returned page are unordered.
