services
in Server
Admin.
A dot next to each service in the list can be a few possible colors:
✓ Clear: Service is enabled but not running.
✓ Red: Service has an error.
✓ Light green: Infrequent, shown sometimes as a service restarts.
✓ Dark green: Service is running normally.
Typically, you want to configure settings for a service when it isn’t running
(with a clear dot). After you’re finished with the settings, you can start the
service running:
1. Click the triangle to the left of your server to expand the list of
services and then click the name of your service.
2. Click the Start button in the lower left of the screen.
Monitoring your server with Server Admin
Server Admin provides more monitoring features than the Server app. You
can access them by clicking your server in the left column to select it. The
General pane (refer to Figure 1-6) appears, providing information about the
host Mac’s hardware and software configuration and status.
The Logs icon gives you access to several types of log files for the server. The
Graphs icon provides live graphs of processor usage and network traffic. The
Server Update icon lists the previous updates to Mac OS X Server and lets
you update from this window.
