Service Management Basics

Open NextIO Services from the activity bar.
Search by service name, design file, owner, or port.
Use status filters to focus on running, stopped, warning, or error services.
Use service-card actions for start, stop, edit, logs, counters, delete, and details.
Open service details when traffic, counters, diagrams, or service records need review.

Overview

NextIO Services is the runtime view for services created from NextIO service designs. Use it to see which services are running, start or stop a service, open the design, inspect logs, and review traffic or counters from one place.

The toolbar controls the service gallery below it. Use it first when you need to narrow a long list, refresh service state, or create a new service design.

Control	Function
Search service, file, owner, or port	Filters the gallery by service name, design file, owner, or port.
All	Shows every matching service and clears status-only filtering.
Running	Shows services currently running.
Warning	Shows services that need attention but are not fully failed.
Error	Shows services in an error or critical state.
Stopped	Shows services that are registered but not running.
Refresh	Reloads the current service list and runtime state.
Create Service	Opens the NextIO service template browser to create a new service design.

Service Cards

Each service card summarizes one service. A card can show the service name, runtime state, design file, owner, uptime, action buttons, traffic preview, and a saved data-path diagram when one is available.

The card toolbar appears below the service name and status area. Buttons are enabled or disabled based on the current service state.

Read the toolbar from left to right:

Action	Function
Start	Starts a stopped service.
Stop	Stops a running service.
Edit design	Opens the service design in the NextIO diagram editor.
View log	Opens the service log workflow or log view for startup and runtime messages.
Clear port counters	Clears counters for ports used by the service.
Delete	Deletes the service record after confirmation. Stop a running service before deleting it.

Use Details in the card header when you need the full service page with traffic, counters, diagram, logs, and service record.

Actions that change runtime state open workflows. Disabled actions are not valid for the current service state or the service is missing required data, such as a design file path.

Service Details

Open Details when a card does not give enough information. The detail page keeps the service header, runtime actions, traffic range controls, counters, diagram, logs, and service record in one view.

Use Back to Services to return to the gallery. Use the runtime buttons, such as Start, Stop, View Service, Edit Service, Monitor, and Service Record, when they are available for the selected service.

Traffic And Counters

In service details, use Last 1H, Last 6H, Last 24H, Last 7D, or Custom to review traffic over the right window. Use Custom when you are matching a known event time.

The traffic section can show ingress throughput, egress throughput, packet errors, packet drops, and a chart for the selected range. The refresh control moves a relative time range to the current time.

Use Filter Counters to inspect counted rules for the service. Counter rows can include component, rule, action, packets, bytes, average bytes per packet, and state.

Diagram, Logs, And Service Record

The detail page shows a NextIO Data Path Diagram when a saved diagram snapshot exists. If only a fallback sketch is available, the title can change to NextIO Data Path Sketch.

Use View log when service startup or runtime output needs review. Use Service Record when you need copyable identity, runtime, metric, and log details for troubleshooting or support.

Service Operations And Workflows

Starting, stopping, deleting, clearing counters, monitoring ports, and viewing logs are workflow-backed actions. If an operation fails or takes longer than expected, open Activity Monitor > Workflows and review the workflow trace.

Before stopping or deleting a production service, confirm the service is no longer carrying required traffic. Before starting or applying a service, confirm the design has been saved and the required ports are available.

Troubleshooting

Service Is Missing

Clear search and status filters, then refresh the page. Confirm the service design has been started or registered.

Start Or Stop Fails

Open Activity Monitor > Workflows and inspect the matching workflow trace. Check that the design file exists, required ports are available, and the runtime service is ready.

Diagram Snapshot Is Unavailable

Open the design in the diagram editor and save it. If the service is running, restart or apply the service so the backend can refresh its stored diagram visual.

Metrics Are Empty

Choose a wider time range and refresh. If samples remain unavailable, open Activity Monitor > Metric Browser and check collector and vfabric metrics.

Use Start With Activity Bar for activity-bar navigation.
Use NextIO Service Template Browser to create a service design.
Use NextIO Diagram Editor to edit the service data path.
Use File Explorer to locate or rename .nio service design files.
Use Activity Monitor > Workflows to review service operation history.
