# Viewing Session Status in Command Line Interface

To view the session status of a specific session in the Veeam Agent command line interface, use the following command:

```
veeamconfig session info --id <session_id>
```

where `<session_id>` is an ID of the session for which you want to check status.

Veeam Agent displays the following information about sessions:

<table style="width:100%;" class="Blue_Table">
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <th style="vertical-align:middle; width:20%;">
      <p>Parameter</p>
    </th>
    <th style="vertical-align:middle;">
      <p>Description</p>
    </th>
  </tr>
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <td style="vertical-align:top; width:20%;">
      <p><span style="font-weight:bold;">ID</span></p>
    </td>
    <td style="vertical-align:top;">
      <p>ID of the session.</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <td style="vertical-align:top; width:20%;">
      <p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Job name</span></p>
    </td>
    <td style="vertical-align:top;">
      <p>Name of the backup job parent to the session. Veeam Agent displays value for this parameter only for backup job sessions.</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <td style="vertical-align:top; width:20%;">
      <p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Job ID</span></p>
    </td>
    <td style="vertical-align:top;">
      <p>ID of the backup job parent to the session. Veeam Agent displays value for this parameter only for backup job sessions.</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <td style="vertical-align:top; width:20%;">
      <p><span style="font-weight:bold;">State</span></p>
    </td>
    <td style="vertical-align:top;">
      <p>Current status of the session.</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <td style="vertical-align:top; width:20%;">
      <p><span style="font-weight:bold;">Start time</span></p>
    </td>
    <td style="vertical-align:top;">
      <p>Date and time of the session start.</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr style="vertical-align:top">
    <td style="vertical-align:top; width:20%;">
      <p><span style="font-weight:bold;">End time</span></p>
    </td>
    <td style="vertical-align:top;">
      <p>Date and time of the session completion. Veeam Agent displays value for this parameter only for completed sessions.</p>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
