The following example shows the global operations table status while the operation is running.

[/]
A:admin@bkvm30# info state system management-interface operations
    oldest-operation-id 111
    newest-operation-id 111
    operation 111 {
        asynchronous true
        status in-progress
        start-time 2021-06-16T10:17:18.3-04:00
        request-path "/global-operations/oam/eth-cfm/loopback"
        session-id 21
        user "admin"
        execution-timeout {
            time 2021-06-16T11:17:18.3-04:00
            remaining 3599
        }
    }
    next-execution-timeout {
        operation-id 111
        time 2021-06-16T11:17:18.3-04:00
        remaining 3599
    }

The following example shows log event output when the operation is completed.

[/]
A:admin@bkvm30# show log log-id 99

===============================================================================
Event Log 99 log-name 99
===============================================================================

The following is an example of the results available in the state branch.

                received-packets 0
            }
        }
    }

The following example shows the delete operation usage to clean up.
