Features
The Services View has two panels:
- Services panel
- Groups panel
Services Panel
In the Services panel, you can access different views into a service, and perform service operations such as adding, removing, editing, and administering. The Services panel consists of a grid populated with the list of defined Security Analytics services and the Services Panel Toolbar.
This table describes the columns in the grid.
| Column | Description |
 | Selects a row for an action in the toolbar. Clicking the checkbox in the column title selects or deselects all rows in the grid. |
| <Blank> | Indicates whether the service is started (capturing or aggregating data) or stopped. A solid colored green circle indicates that a connected service is started. A blank white circle indicates that a connected service is stopped. |
| Name | The name of the service. |
| Licensed | Indicates whether the service is licensed. A checked circle is licensed and an empty circle is not licensed.  |
| Host | The name of the host where the service is located. |
| Type | The type of service. Currently service types are Archiver, Broker, Concentrator, Decoder, Event Stream Analysis, Incident Management, IPDB Extractor, Log Collector, Log Decoder, Malware Analysis, Reporting Engine, Warehouse Connector, and Workbench. |
| Version | The version of software of the service. |
| Actions | Provides an Actions menu  for the selected service with actions that can be taken on the service and the associated host. The Actions menu enables you to delete the service, edit the service, and start, stop, and restart the service. A dialog requests confirmation before restarting. The View submenu from the Actions menu enables you to access the System, Stats, Config, Explore, Logs, and Security views for the selected service.  |
Groups Panel
The Groups panel provides a way to create logical groups of services. Once services are grouped, it is easier to perform operations on multiple services by interacting with each service in a group rather than individual services from an ungrouped list. In Security Analytics Live, groups can subscribe to resources while individual services can not.
The Groups panel consists of a grid populated with a list of defined services groups and the Groups Panel Toolbar. This table describes the columns in the grid.
| Column | Description |
| Name | The name of the services group. Clicking the group name in the Groups panel lists the services in that group on the Services panel. |
| <Blank> | Indicates the number of services in the group. Clicking the number of services in the group on Groups panel lists the services in that group on the Services panel. |
