Foreground Events¶

Introduction¶

Foreground events are those currently running. They are typically short-lived events, in contrast to long-running background service events.

Since Vinyl 3.3.34523, the Running Events page lets you view or request the cancellation of foreground events running on any Vinyl instance, or a specific one, with the following caveats:

• Canceled events may not stop immediately, but do so gracefully on or after receiving a cancellation request.
• The Running Events page may continue to show running events for up to an hour after the host Vinyl instance has terminated.
