Check crawler and job server status

Access the Crawler and Jobs Server page:

Click Settings () > Services.

Note:

Startup scripts for each process can be found in the /etc/init.d directory.

Note:

Log file for each process can be found in the /var/log/ion directory. They are:

crawl.log
iarchive.log
celery_w1.log
ionPlugin.log

If these processes are not running, run information is not updated and analysis reports are not generated. If this occurs, there is no risk of data loss but the Crawler and Jobs Server processes should always be running. The Archive process only runs if archiving has been configured.

Process status is displayed in the Admin Services tab, as shown in the following figure:

If a process is not running, a Down or Offline reason is displayed in the Admin Services tab. An example is "The crawler is offline".
