# Tasks
The `/tasks` endpoints modify the tasks that Consul-Terraform-Sync is responsible for running.
## Update Task
This endpoint allows patch updates to specifically supported fields for existing tasks. Currently only supports updating a task's [`enabled` value](/docs/nia/configuration#enabled-4).
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ------------------- | ------------------ |
| `PATCH` | `/tasks/:task_name` | `application/json` |
#### Request Parameters
* `run` - (string) Values can be only be "inspect" and "now".
* "inspect": Does not update the task but returns information on if/how resources would be changed for the proposed task update.
* "now": Updates the task accordingly and immediately runs the task, rather than allowing the task to run at the natural daemon cadence
#### Response Fields
* `inspect` - Information on how resources would be changed given a proposed task update, similar to [inspect-mode](/docs/nia/cli#inspect-mode). This is only returned when passed the `run=inspect` request parameter
* `changes_present` - (bool) Whether or not changes were detected for running the proposed task update
* `plan` - (string) The Terraform plan generated for the proposed task update . Note: a non-empty string does not necessarily indicate changes were detected.
#### Example: Disable a task
Request:
```shell-session
$ curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request PATCH \
--data '{"enabled":false}' \
localhost:8558/v1/tasks/task_a
```
Response:
```json
{}
```
#### Example: Inspect enabling a task
Request:
```shell-session
$ curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--request PATCH \
--data '{"enabled":true}' \
localhost:8558/v1/tasks/task_a?run=inspect
```
Response if no changes present:
```json
{
"changes_present": false,
"plan": "No changes. Infrastructure is up-to-date. <truncated>"
}
```
Response if changes present:
```json
{
"changes_present": true,
"plan": "<terraform plan truncated> Plan: 3 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy."
}
```
