# ShowEngineStatus

Whether to return child-server status with query results. Set `ShowEngineStatus` to `true` if you want the Distributed Action Handler to return the status of its child servers when it runs a `GetContent`, `Query`, `Suggest` or `SuggestOnText` action.

NOTE: When `ShowEngineStatus=true` in non-mirror mode, the child server status is returned in response to all actions.

A child server status can be one of the following:

- Used. The child server has processed the query.

- Unused. The child server is not needed to process the query.

- Down. The child server is unavailable for processing the query.
