# Get-RubrikRequest

## SYNOPSIS

Connects to Rubrik and retrieves details on an async request

## SYNTAX

### Entry

```
Get-RubrikRequest -id <String> -Type <String> [-WaitForCompletion] [-Server <String>] [-api <String>]
 [<CommonParameters>]
```

### Pipeline

```
Get-RubrikRequest -Request <PSObject> [-WaitForCompletion] [-Server <String>] [-api <String>]
 [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

The Get-RubrikRequest cmdlet will pull details on a request that was submitted to the distributed task framework. This is helpful for tracking the state (success, failure, running, etc.) of a request.

## EXAMPLES

### EXAMPLE 1

```
Get-RubrikRequest -id 'MOUNT_SNAPSHOT_123456789:::0' -Type 'vmware/vm'
```

Will return details about an async VMware VM request named "MOUNT\_SNAPSHOT\_123456789:::0"

### EXAMPLE 2

```
Get-RubrikRequest -id 'MOUNT_SNAPSHOT_123456789:::0' -Type 'vmware/vm'
```

Will wait for the specified async request to report a 'SUCCESS' or 'FAILED' status before returning details

### EXAMPLE 3

```
Get-RubrikVM jbrasser-lin | Get-RubrikSnapshot -Latest | New-RubrikMount -MountName 'SuperCoolVM' | Get-RubrikRequest -WaitForCompletion -Verbose
```

Will take the latest Snapshot of jbrasser-lin and create a live mount of this Virtual Machine, Get-RubrikRequest will poll the cluster until the VM is available while displaying Verbose information.

### EXAMPLE 4

```
Update-RubrikVCenter vCenter:::111 | Get-RubrikRequest -WaitForCompletion
```

Updates Rubrik vCenter and waits for completion of the request

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rubrik.gitbook.io/rubrik-sdk-for-powershell/command-documentation/reference/get-rubrikrequest.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
