You can monitor the status of your Plesk-managed server without logging
in to Plesk. To do this, you need to access your server over Remote
Desktop.
A utility called Plesk Services Monitor is loaded automatically every
time Plesk starts. To manage the status of Plesk’s services, open the
Plesk Services Monitor by double-clicking its icon in the taskbar. The
look of the icon depends on the state of crucial Plesk services: the
icon means that all Plesk’s services are functioning,
and the icon means that some services are stopped or
not working correctly.
Once you open the Services Monitor, you can see the status of all vital
Plesk’s services. The icon indicates that a
corresponding service is working correctly, and the icon
indicates that the corresponding service is stopped or
is not working correctly.
To stop a service, select the corresponding checkbox and click Stop.
To restart a service, select the corresponding checkbox and click
Restart.
To start a service, select the corresponding checkbox and click
Start.
Note: You can use Select All and Clear All buttons to select or
clear all available checkboxes.
To refresh the list of services and their respective statuses, click
Refresh.
To remove all information about Plesk sessions from Plesk’s database and
disconnect all users from Plesk, click Delete Sessions. This is
useful when you need to restart Plesk, but some users are still
connected to it, and you want to avoid possible data loss or files
corruption.
Note: You can also start, stop, restart services and delete sessions by
right-clicking the Plesk Services Monitor icon and selecting the
required option from the menu.
To hide the Services Monitor back in the taskbar, click Hide.
