System Services

The System Services section represents a list of all system utilities and is aimed at providing a possibility to manage and configure them as a user desires. List of system utilities has the following structure:

Column name	Description
Status	Status of the utility. Depending on the icon, the status can be either "enabled" or "disabled". To change a utility status, click on the utility name in the table
Name	Name of the utility. The full list of system utilities with their descriptions is provided in a table below
Schedule	Periodicity at which each utility is run. "Daemon" services don't have a schedule, "Periodic" are run in a defined period, "Fixed time" - at predefined timeslots. By clicking the Run utility icon, you manually start this utility regardless of its Schedule column value (doesn't work for Daemon services)
Allowed Nodes	Nodes, at which the service is allowed to run. This parameter is configured only during deployment and is not allowed to be changed by the user
Run Groups	Run Groups define, which services may not run in parallel with others. If two services have intersecting groups, the system will not run them simultaneously and will put one of the services in queue
Last Run	Time and date when the last run was initiated
In Queue	If the utility is run manually, time and date when its launch was initiated will be specified in the column

warning

Please note that if a customer had no assigned packages, accounts, presets or translations, and you decided to add one, then RADIUS or SIP Redirect servers will notice those changes only after the Cache Manager runs and does its job. Please note, that this is only applicable if a customer previously had absolutely no items listed above, in other words, if you add a second account to a customer, then that change will be effective instantly.
