Services in the console

The Services section answers one specific question: how many processes exist in this project, what each one runs, and what condition they are in.

A project with a single service shows that service directly in the overview, without this layer — it exists for people who went looking for it. The four types and when to use each are in Services.

What the screen shows​

The list separates what runs continuously from what runs at set times.

InformationWhat it means
TypeWeb application, internal service, continuous process, or scheduled task
ReplicasHow many instances are up, and how many were requested
ScheduleFor scheduled tasks, in plain language: "every day at 03:00"
CommandThe service's own command, when it has one
AddressFor web applications, the address that answers

Internal values — the type's technical name, the schedule expression — live in each service's technical details panel, labeled as such.

The three absences​

The screen uses three different texts on purpose, because they mean different things:

What you readWhat it means
Not measuredThe data has not arrived yet
No command of its ownNobody defined one; the image's command applies
Receives no trafficThis service type does not have that capability

Collapsing the three into a grey dash would have you hunting for a button that does not exist — or waiting for a number that will never come.

Replicas​

The instance count appears with three readings: how many were requested, how many are ready, and how many are up. They diverge during a deployment and converge when it finishes; persistent divergence means something is keeping the new instances from becoming ready — check the application logs.

Schedule​

A scheduled task shows its time in plain language. When the expression cannot be translated with confidence, the screen says it could not describe it rather than guessing a time: a wrong time makes someone plan maintenance right on top of a run.
