Also this service should not be disabled for a longer period of
time. Several important functions will not be available otherwise.
Service monitoring
This system service is used to monitor the following services:
•
Name server (DNS)
•
Mail server
•
Web proxy
•
Reverse proxy
•
SIP proxy
•
POP3/SMTP proxy
A service exiting without any reason will be automatically restarted by the service
monitor.
The monitor checks the system's process list. A service which is
still running but no longer responding won't be detected.
If a service keeps failing it will remain stopped and has to be restarted manually. On
a cluster master this will cause a failover until the service is either disabled or running
again.
Cluster node
This service is used for the clustering (Menu "System > Setup", tab "Clustering").
Windows domain membership
With this service SX-GATE can join a Windows domain. Currently this is only necessary
for the web proxy NTLM authentication feature.
Before SX-GATE can join the domain, a machine trust account
has to be created for SX-GATE. We suggest using the wizard
"Proxy configuration" for this.
Apcupsd UPS client
If SX-GATE's power supply is backed by an APC UPS which is monitored with apcupsd,
SX-GATE can query the UPS status and shutdown in time if necessary.
