The Services page brings together the supervised components that make up a Metnos instance. For each component it reports process state, application health, desired state, and admitted controls. The catalog is closed: the UI cannot invoke arbitrary units or actions.
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Installed | The expected service unit is present; it need not be active. |
| Running | The supervisor sees the process or timer in its expected operational state. |
| Health | A component-specific check confirms that it responds or that its application state is coherent. |
| Desired state | Whether Metnos expects the component to remain running or stopped after reconciliation. |
An active process can be degraded when its application probe fails. Conversely, a waiting timer or an LRE worker with its feature disabled can be healthy precisely because it is waiting. Read the health explanation before acting; the status dot alone is not enough.
Start brings a stopped service online. Stop interrupts an active service and updates its desired state when it belongs to the Metnos lifecycle. Restart stops and starts an active component. Available actions depend on the service, its placement, and the observed state; a missing button must not be replaced with an invented command.
The HTTP server is the control plane hosting this page. It can be restarted here, whereas stopping it requires an independent control path. The page refreshes after an action; the reliable outcome is convergence among effective state, health, and desired state.
LRE deliberately separates its supervised worker from feature activation. The worker may be running and healthy while waiting with LRE disabled. Enable LRE admits new submissions. Disabling the feature prevents new activity without deleting previously recorded state, history, or artifacts. An invalid configuration closes the gate safely.
Before restarting. Check for active interactive turns and read any warning shown by the page. A restart is not a visual refresh: it actually interrupts the selected process.
