Overview
The Xinet Status page summarizes the overall status of Xinet Services and Daemons. The status page provides a quick overview of potential issues whenever there is a requirement to troubleshoot the system and serves as a starting point to begin investigations.
This article provides a brief summary and explanation of each of the services listed in the Status tab. Additionally, information like the daemons, services, relevant log files corresponding to each service or daemon is also provided.
Any daemon or service that displays their status in RED would mean that an issue is being experienced with that service or daemon.
