Add Monitored Services

  • Monitored Services are run by supervisord.
  • Any executable placed in INSTANCE-ROOT/etc/service/ will automatically be considered a monitored service.
  • To add a monitored service to an instance, render its executable in INSTANCE-ROOT/etc/service/

Services that are not running will be started automatically at the end of an instanciation.

If a monitored Service exit, the signal will trigger an alert to the local SlapOS master forcing the reprocessing of the instance and all its dependecies in order to get back to an expected state. The -on-watch postfix is added to the service name in supervisord in order to mark this service as monitored.

Monitor Web Service

# Executables
