Every 1.5 seconds, the platform daemon fetches data about the station(s) and updates this in the following columns:
- Name
The name of the station directory.
- Type
This is always “station” for a Niagara station.
- Status
One of the following, as applied to a station:
- Idle — Station is not running, but can be started without a reboot.
- Running — Station is running.
- Starting — Platform daemon has started the station, but the station has not reported back its status back to the daemon.
- Stopping — Daemon has ordered the station to stop, but its process has not yet terminated.
- Halted — Station is not currently running, and cannot be restarted without a reboot.
- Failed — Station terminated with a failure exit code.
- Details
For any station, shows four items:
fox=TCP/IP port monitored for regular (unencrypted) Fox connections tofoxs=TCP/IP port monitored for secure Fox connections tohttp=HTTP port that the station’s WebService monitors for regular (unencrypted) browser connections to the station. Shows “n/a” if station is not running, or if it does not have a running WebService, or if Http Enabled is set to false.https=HTTP port that the station’s WebService monitors for secure browser connections to the station, if so configured. Shows “n/a” if host does not support (or is enabled) for a secure connection, or if the station is not running, or if Https Enabled is set to false, or if the station does not have a running WebService.
- Auto-Start
Either true or false. If true, the station starts whenever the platform daemon starts. Configured with a right-side checkbox (see “Start checkboxes”).
- Restart on Failure
Either true or false. If true, the daemon automatically restarts the station after it terminates with a failure exit code. Configure with a right-side checkbox (see “Start checkboxes”).
Apart from the data shown in the table, application selections are possible. See “Application selections”.
