Oh no: Service Monitor is empty in Direct Admin

13 October 2022 by martijn

Just a quick tut on adding and deleting services that Direct Admin monitors.

DA will read the file services.status in /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/. To edit

cat /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status

or

vim /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status

This should look like this

da-popb4smtp=ON
dovecot=ON
exim=ON
httpd=ON
lfd=ON
mysqld=ON
named=ON
pure-ftpd=ON
spamd=ON
sshd=ON

You can add to this, save the file and your done.
Look at all your services with

systemctl --type=service

Take the name, for example “spamassassin.service”, copy only the name “spamassassin” and put it in the services.status file like this

spamassassin=ON
