Managing Services

PoloCloud provides powerful service management commands to control and monitor your Minecraft server instances. Each service represents a running server that belongs to a specific group.

service list

Lists all currently running services with their status, hostname, port, and properties count.

Example:

service list

Output:

Found 3 services:
 - lobby-1 (state=STARTING hostname=127.0.0.1 port=30000 properties-count=1)
 - test-1 (state=STARTING hostname=127.0.0.1 port=30001 properties-count=0)
 - proxy-1 (state=STARTING hostname=0.0.0.0 port=25565 properties-count=0)

service <service>

Shows detailed information about a specific service including state, group, port, hostname, players, memory usage, and properties.

Example:

service lobby-1

Output:

Service lobby-1:
 - State: STARTING
 - Group: lobby-1
 - Port: 30000
 - Hostname: 127.0.0.1
 - Players: -1/-1
 - Motd: 
 - Memory: 1361.0Mb

• Service is removed from active list
