## [](#description)Description

For internal use only. This command is used by cluster manager (ns\_server) to track the progress of rebalance using TAP.

TAP is an internal protocol that streams information about data changes between cluster nodes. It was replaced by DCP and removed from Couchbase Server in version 5.0\. This command enables you to retrieve statistics from clusters running legacy versions of Couchbase Server.
