Services

All service daemons are run with runit in the cpantesters user home directory (~/service).

To restart a service: sv restart ~/service/<service>. To restart all services: sv restart ~/service/*. If the restart has a timeout, you can kill the runsv <service> process and it will be automatically restarted (by the runsvdir process).

All services are logged to ~/service/<service>/log/current.

Reports Dashboard

This dashboard shows if report processing jobs are being added and finished. Report processing jobs are added when a new test report is written. Report processing jobs are finished by the minion daemon on Backend servers.

• Diagnostics
  • If report jobs are not being added, try restarting the legacy-metabase daemon.
  • If report jobs are not being finished, try restarting the minion daemon.

Web/DB Dashboard

This dashboard shows the response times for all the web applications, and the amount of work the MySQL database is doing.
