Check crawler and job server status

Use the Crawler and Jobs Server screen to view information about the background processes that are running on Torrent Suite™ Software.

If these processes are not running, run information is not updated and analysis reports are not generated. If this occurs, there is no risk of data loss but the Crawler and Jobs Server processes should always be running. The Archive process runs only if archiving has been configured.

If a process is not running, a Down or Offline reason displays in the Services screen. An example message is The crawler is offline.

  1. Click (Settings) > Services.
  2. In the Crawler and Jobs Server screen, review the information about the background processes described in the following table.
