IDOL Site Admin 24.1

# Discover Services

A service is an IDOL component that is installed on a host with a Controller. After you add a Controller server to a cluster (see Discover Hosts for more information), you can use the Discover Services page to register individual services with IDOL Site Admin for monitoring purposes.

To register a service

1. From the Registered Controllers list, select the host that you want to scan for services.

2. Enter a directory path on the host and click the magnifying glass to scan for services. Alternatively, if the host is running Windows and the IDOL components are installed as services, click Windows Services to scan for services.

   TIP: If your servers have components installed across more than one drive, you can specify multiple paths to use for service discovery rather than having to manually modify the path each time. Click + to add as many Lookup path fields as you need, then specify the directory paths. When you click the magnifying glass, IDOL Site Admin scans all the paths.

3. IDOL Site Admin lists discovered services in the central panel. Click the green arrow next to a discovered service or drag the service to the Registered column to add the service to IDOL Site Admin for monitoring.

After you register a service, you can click Groups to go to the Discover Groups page, where you can assign that service to a group or groups. See Work With Groups for more information.

You can also click to add a descriptive name and notes to the service.

By default, IDOL Site Admin controls services by starting and stopping the process directly. Alternatively, you can specify an init script to use.

To specify an init script to use

1. Click next to a service. The Edit Service Control Method dialog box opens.
2. Click Script, then type the init script path and name.
3. Click Edit.

When you no longer need a service, you can unregister it.

To unregister a service

- Click the red arrow to unregister a service, or drag the service across.
