# 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:

<div id="bkmrk-area-what-it-tells-y"><div><table><thead><tr><th>Area</th><th>What it tells you</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>**Heartbeat**</td><td>Whether the member is checking in and how recent the last signal was.</td></tr><tr><td>**Agent version**</td><td>The installed agent version and whether an update is available.</td></tr><tr><td>**Host details**</td><td>Hostname, operating system, uptime, and basic identity details.</td></tr><tr><td>**Resources**</td><td>CPU, memory, disk, and other capacity signals when reported by the member.</td></tr><tr><td>**Security basics**</td><td>Firewall and SSH status when available.</td></tr><tr><td>**Updates**</td><td>Whether the server appears to need package updates.</td></tr></tbody></table>

</div></div>Some specialist members may show a tailored status view for their role, such as HAProxy.

### Free and Pro

<div id="bkmrk-feature-community-pr-4"><div><table><thead><tr><th>Feature</th><th>Community</th><th>Pro</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>View heartbeat and online state</td><td>Included</td><td>Included</td></tr><tr><td>View agent version and host details</td><td>Included</td><td>Included</td></tr><tr><td>View reported resource usage</td><td>Included</td><td>Included</td></tr><tr><td>View firewall, SSH, and update signals when reported</td><td>Included</td><td>Included</td></tr><tr><td>Use advanced tabs that act on status signals</td><td>Limited</td><td>Included</td></tr><tr><td>Faster operational recovery using backup, transfer, and automation tools</td><td>Upgrade required</td><td>Included</td></tr></tbody></table>

</div></div>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

1. Open the pool.
2. Select the member.
3. Open **Status**.
4. Check the heartbeat first.
5. Review resource, update, firewall, and agent signals.

If the server is online but a feature is not behaving as expected, check **Cron &amp; Jobs** next. That tab shows whether recent actions are queued, running, completed, or failed.

##### Common checks

<div id="bkmrk-what-you-see-what-it"><div><table><thead><tr><th>What you see</th><th>What it usually means</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>**Recent heartbeat**</td><td>The agent is checking in and the member can be managed.</td></tr><tr><td>**Stale heartbeat**</td><td>The server, network, or agent may need attention.</td></tr><tr><td>**Agent update available**</td><td>Update the agent before testing new features.</td></tr><tr><td>**High disk usage**</td><td>Backups, restores, and transfers may fail unless space is freed.</td></tr><tr><td>**Firewall warning**</td><td>Remote access or service traffic may be blocked.</td></tr></tbody></table>
