Check services

The checkservices command checks the Octopus Server instances to see if they are running and start them if they’re not. The watchdog command sets up a scheduled task that calls checkservices.

Check Services options

Usage: octopus.server checkservices [<options>]

Where [<options>] is any of:

      --instances=VALUE      Comma-separated list of instances to check, or *
                               to check all instances

Or one of the common options:

      --help                 Show detailed help for this command

Basic example

This example checks to see if all instances are running on the machine and start them if they are not:

octopus.server checkservices --instances=*
