Status

What is the Status page?

The Status tab in the B Series Appliance /appliance web interface provides an at-a-glance overview of the appliance's operational status. This includes key information such as the appliance's hostname, IP address, uptime, system load, and resource usage. It also displays details about the software version, licensing status, and SSL certificates, ensuring administrators have quick access to essential system metrics.

How is it useful to my organization?

This page enables administrators to monitor the appliance's health and performance efficiently. By providing real-time insights into critical system information, this tab helps identify potential issues, such as resource constraints or licensing problems, before they impact operations.

Note

In nearly all scenarios, this setting can be left unchanged. BeyondTrust discourages multiple sites on one B Series Appliance. However, if your setup requires more than one site responding to one IP address, select a default site to respond should someone enter the IP address directly rather than the domain name. If more than one DNS entry directs to this IP address and you select No Default, an error message appears if someone tries to access your site by entering the IP address.

Reboot or shut down the appliance

Although rebooting your B Series Appliance is not required, you may want to make a monthly reboot part of your regular maintenance. You do not need physical access to the B Series Appliance in order to perform this reboot.

In the Reboot | Shut Down section, click Reboot this appliance or Shut down this appliance.
The appliance begins the process.
