Feature request: view history of Background Tasks for Extracts #1426
Description
Describe the bug
When I'm in tableau and go to Site Status, and then click on Background Tasks for Extractions (#/analysis/BackgroundTasksforExtracts), I can see which extractions have been run on this site, how many are already successful, have failed, or are in progress.
With tableauserverclient, I would like to bring these extractions of the day I am in and the status of the work, whether it is success or progress. The objective is to keep this always updating automatically, so that in the tableau when we enter to see the update, we have to update the page.
Versions
Details of your environment, including:

I know this is very old, but clarifying the request: we can't update the admin views using tsc. I'm assuming the request is for one or more methods in tsc that imitate the admin view (https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/adminview_backgrnd.htm)
