Status Tab
Use the Status tab to see whether a server is online, reporting correctly, and ready for work. It is the first place to check when a member looks stale, jobs are not moving, or a server has not checked in recently.
What you can see
The Status tab shows a live operational summary for the selected member:
| Area | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Heartbeat | Whether the member is checking in and how recent the last signal was. |
| Agent version | The installed agent version and whether an update is available. |
| Host details | Hostname, operating system, uptime, and basic identity details. |
| Resources | CPU, memory, disk, and other capacity signals when reported by the member. |
| Security basics | Firewall and SSH status when available. |
| Updates | Whether the server appears to need package updates. |
Some specialist members may show a tailored status view for their role, such as HAProxy.

The Status tab is included because every user needs to know whether their member is healthy. Pro adds the tools around that signal: backup, restore, transfer, scheduling, and automation.
How to use it
- Open the pool.
- Select the member.
- Open Status.
- Check the heartbeat first.
- Review resource, update, firewall, and agent signals.
If the server is online but a feature is not behaving as expected, check Cron & Jobs next. That tab shows whether recent actions are queued, running, completed, or failed.
Common checks
| What you see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Recent heartbeat | The agent is checking in and the member can be managed. |
| Stale heartbeat | The server, network, or agent may need attention. |
| Agent update available | Update the agent before testing new features. |
| High disk usage | Backups, restores, and transfers may fail unless space is freed. |
| Firewall warning | Remote access or service traffic may be blocked. |
