We do process commands while loading an AOF file and allow INFO to read some progress report https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/2d3240f31b4e7111e6162476bdffd4c1c3794002/src/aof.c#L1438-L1444 https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/2d3240f31b4e7111e6162476bdffd4c1c3794002/src/rdb.c#L2724-L2725 https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/2d3240f31b4e7111e6162476bdffd4c1c3794002/src/commands/info.json#L16 https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/2d3240f31b4e7111e6162476bdffd4c1c3794002/src/server.c#L5601-L5607
are you saying it is insufficient or not working? in which case, please provide more context.

I'm saying giving some progress in the logs/console can be more user friendly

you listed two solutions in your top post, and one of them already exists. i'm not sure flooding the log file with progress reports is wise (even with some throttling), currently we only log state changes.
there's are actually two exceptions to this and i'm not happy with them either. https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/2d3240f31b4e7111e6162476bdffd4c1c3794002/src/server.c#L1247-L1272 https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/2d3240f31b4e7111e6162476bdffd4c1c3794002/src/childinfo.c#L100-L102
IMHO users who want to monitor redis have a way to do that, the log file is not a dashboard and if someone wants, they can build a dashboard based on the INFO command.
