Managing Which Performance Manager Services Shall Be Running At System Start

Performance Manager services are services that will start automatically when the system is started. You can change this behavior if you want to deactivate a service, or if you want to switch an execution server permanently from service mode to process mode.

To manage which individual Performance Manager services shall be running at system start:

  1. Double-click the Silk Performance Manager Service Manager tray icon in the Windows task bar. The Silk Performance Manager Service Manager displays, with up to five tabs visible, depending on the services that are installed on this computer.
  2. Click the tab that corresponds to the service you want to access:
    • Execution Server
    • Execution Server (Process)
    • Front-End Server
    • Application Server
    • Chart Server
  3. Check the Run at start-up check box if you want the selected service to start automatically.
  4. Click OK to finish managing the servers. The Silk Performance Manager Service Manager closes, but remains active in the system tray.
    Note: The Execution Server (Process) will only start after a logon to the Windows server.
