About services

A service is a background process that performs a specific function that contributes to the continuous tuning of the HCP system. HCP implements twelve services.

Services work on the repository as a whole; that is, they work across all namespaces.

In general, services run only while they are enabled. The exception is the protection service, which runs in response to certain triggers even while it’s disabled. Typically, services are disabled only by authorized HCP service providers during problem resolution.

The System Management Console shows the status of most services on the Overview page. HCP records information about service runs and irreparable violations in the system log.

For information on the Overview page, see About the Overview page. For information on the system log, see Understanding the HCP system log.
