We've received an awesome request by one of our users a while back to implement a view where you could see an overview of all the important services and their status. You can read more up on the request here: https://roadmap.ploi.io/b/panel-requests/show-services-status-nginx-php-etc-in-control-panel/
We found this to be an excellent feature in Ploi and processed it! You can now visit the 'Status' tab on the left hand side in server level and see an overview of your services and their status. You can also request their specific status by pressing the "Status" button. This makes debugging easier as it will include an error code if something is wrong.
You also have the ability to start, stop and restart services from that tab to restart specific services: giving you even more control over your server easily by a click on the button.
As always we include a changelog at the bottom for you to read what has changed since the last newsletter that has been sent, and if you did not receive that check out the latest news article, this contains the changelog as well: https://ploi.io/news/restore-database-backups-duplicating-them
If you have any suggestions or feedback, you are more than welcome to leave it on our roadmap: https://roadmap.ploi.io/
