The Server dashboard

The Server dashboard gives you the ability to monitor and configure all nodes in a cluster.

For more information about nodes and clusters, see Clustering ListManager.

The Server dashboard shows all nodes and services and the status of each, as shown in the following illustration:

Server Dashboard UI

The table below shows the Server dashboard elements as annotated in the image above:

Annotation Label Description
List of all services
  • The Live column for each service shows the current state of the service. Services that must always be running on every node, such as DNS Resolver, show only the Live column.
  • Services that you can turn on/off show an additional column, DB.
  • The DB column specifies the service startup option. For example, in the illustration above, the API DB checkbox in not selected. This means that the API service is not going to run when the server starts.
  • If a service has multiple options that you can turn on/off individually, such as the Mail Send service, the Server dashboard shows a Live and DB column for each option, for example, Test Priority.

Edit startup options Select this checkbox to specify the service startup options. When you select this option, you can edit the settings in the DB column.
Hide MailSend options

Select this checkbox to hide the Test Priority and TM columns of the Mail Send service. You might want to do this to save screen space.
