Monitoring Adapter Services

The Adapter Services page displays the installed adapters by name, version, activity status, and provides an option to start or stop the adapter's service.

An adapter service must be running in order for the Vocera Platform to utilize the adapter's functionality.

Click Stop or Start to manage an adapter's service. The Adapter Services page updates dynamically, displaying STOPPING or STARTING in the Status field until a status of ACTIVE or NOT_ACTIVE is reached, depending on the action undertaken. For an example using the Adapter Services, see Starting and Stopping Adapter Services.

Understand the information displayed in the Adapter Services page using the table below.
