How to Check Status of a Server Service in DirectAdmin?

A server administrator has complete control over the server and all of its functions. Admin users can utilize the Service Monitor tool in DirectAdmin to view the current state of any service running on their server. In addition, the application provides information about the PID(s) and total memory utilization and enables users to start, stop, restart, and reload server services.

To Access the DirectAdmin Service Monitor

1. Log in to DirectAdmin with your admin account.

2. Go to the Admin Tools section and click on Service Monitor.

The Service Monitor panel will open.

Here, you will see a list of all the active services on your server. It also contains their PIDs and the amount of memory they use under Memory Usage. With it, you can check the status of any server service on your DirectAdmin server.

Additionally, you can restart, stop and reload any service.

All you have to do is click the + icon for the service. It will display a short menu with the options: Stop, Restart and Reload

Warning: We recommend you not revise the status of the active services on your server unless you know what you are doing. If you want to change the status of any server service, we urge you to contact support
