CloudControl Services

Use the Maintenance > Services page to manage services running on CloudControl. The following services are available: 

• CloudControl Application Server (Proxies, Admin GUI, REST APIs)—Click Restart to restart the CloudControl HTTP/SOAP proxy.

  Note:

  Restarting requires that you log back in to the CloudControl Management Console.

• SSH Proxy Status—Displays the current status of the SSH proxy.
• Start/Stop SSH Proxy—Click Stop or Start to change the status of the SSH proxy.
• Proxy Denial Message—This message is presented to any user that attempts to perform an operation that goes beyond their privilege level in both SSH and the vSphere Client. By default, the message is: Permission denied due to security policy, but you can customize the denial message.

• Reindex Policy Items—Click the ReIndex button if you are having trouble searching for rules or resources that should be present or if you are seeing unexpected duplicates.

• Job and Policy History Retention (days)—Sets the number of days to keep data before purging. All job history and policy history data older than the days set will be purged. The default value is 90 days.

• Threshold for Full Vacuum(%)—Sets the minimum threshold to trigger a garbage collection process on the database. When database disk space utilization exceeds this threshold, a full vacuum will be performed when the Purge Database scheduled event is run. Valid values are between 50% and 75%.
