Working with Services

You can manually start, restart, and stop services in the appliance. You can act upon all services at once, or select specific ones.

In the System > Services page, the tabs list the available services and their statuses. The Information tab appears with the system information like the hardware information, system properties, system status, and open ports.

Although the services can be started or stopped from the Web UI, the start/stop/restart action is restricted for some services. These services can be operated from the OS Console.
Run the following command to start/stop/restart a service.

 /etc/init.d/<service_name> stop/start/restart

For example, to start the docker service, run the following command.

 /etc/init.d/docker start

If you stop the Service Dispatcher service from the Web UI, you might not be able to access ESA from the Web browser. Hence, it recommended to stop the Service Dispatcher service from the CLI Manager only.

Web Interface Auto-Refresh Mode

You can set the auto-refresh mode to refresh the necessary information according to a set time interval. The Auto-Refresh is available in the status bar that show the dynamically changing status information, such as status and logs. Thus, for example, an Auto Refresh pane is available in System > Services, at the bottom of the page.

The Auto-Refresh pane is not shown by default. You should click the Auto-Refresh button to view the pane.

To modify the auto-refresh mode, from the Appliance Web Interface, select the necessary value in the Auto-Refresh drop-down list. The refresh is applied in accordance with the set time.
