Restart a Service

Restart a deployed service safely from the StationOps Manage view.

A restart replaces or restarts the running workload without selecting a different application release. Use it when the deployed configuration and artifact are correct but the runtime is unhealthy or stuck.

Restart

Open the project Manage view.
Select the affected service node and environment.
Review current deploy status, logs, metrics, and recent events.
Select Restart.
Monitor the operation until replacement tasks or instances are healthy.
Verify the service endpoint and its dependencies.

When to Restart

A restart can help recover a process deadlock, stale connection, or one-off runtime failure. It does not correct a broken package, invalid environment variable, exhausted dependency, or failing infrastructure configuration.

Collect Evidence First

Capture relevant logs, timestamps, and metrics before restarting. A restart may remove the transient state needed to diagnose the original failure.

If the new workload fails in the same way, stop restarting and investigate the package, configuration, dependencies, and capacity.
