When to use

A scenario for servers with containerized workloads when you need centralized control without going into separate tools.

What to prepare

• Licensed server Total.
• Understanding which containers are critical to the service.

Steps

1. Open Containers in the server tab.
2. Filter the list by stack/service/image.
3. Execute start, stop, restart for a separate container.
4. View container logs, update and copy them for analysis.
5. If necessary, run the cleanup of unused images (prune).

What to check

• The states of containers and health correspond to expectations.
• No 5xx growth or other degradation symptoms appeared after the actions.
• Logs confirm the cause of the problem or the success of the changes.
