Service Monitoring
Track systemd services across your fleet. Know instantly when a critical service stops.
Systemd Service Tracking
The Scout agent automatically detects systemd services and tracks their state — active, inactive, or failed. Configure which services to monitor per server, and get instant visibility into service health.

- Tracks active, inactive, and failed states

Service Status in the Dashboard
Service states are displayed on the server detail page with clear visual indicators. Green for running, red for failed — you can spot problems instantly without SSHing into the server.

Service Failure Alerts
When a tracked service enters a failed state, Server Scout automatically triggers an alert. This integrates directly with the alert system — you get email notifications, dashboard warnings, and recovery tracking.
