If during an upgrade I check the progress of said upgrade via the API, I get null progress (logs and percentage) even though the UI shows progress.

The command I’m running is this:

> `curl -X GET "https://example.com/admin/docker/progress" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data;" -d "path=all" -d "api_key=1234" -d "api_username=system"`

In the beginning of the upgrade, the output I get looks like this:

> `{"progress":{"logs":" ********************************************************\n*** Please be patient, next steps might take a while ***\n******************************************************** \nCycling Unicorn, to free up memory\nRestarting unicorn pid:... 386\n","percentage":"10"}}`

In the middle of the upgrade, the output looks like this:

> `{"progress":{"logs":null,"percentage":null}}`

I believe the progress goes to null right when the job queue is stopped. The admin UI still shows lots of progress (the below log is from the UI), but the progress via API remains at null.

```plaintext

```

Any ideas what’s going on?

I know the UI is getting updated through the MessageBus, so I’m wondering if when the Unicorn workers are stopped, the API endpoint you’re looking at doesn’t update or isn’t accessible at that time.

Is there an alternative way of getting progress? I just need to know if the upgrade is still ongoing. The status doesn’t seem to be in `/var/www/discourse/log/production.log` and I’m open to hackery methods like scraping the upgrade page…
