For <span class="val">Graceful Restart</span>, the old server process will only exit after all requests to it have been finished (or the <span class="tagl"><a href="#gracefulRestartTimeout">Graceful Restart Timeout (secs)</a></span> limit has been reached). Configuration changes are applied at the next restart. <span class="val">Graceful Restart</span> will apply these changes without any server downtime.</p> <h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Information" class="ls-icon-info"></span> Graceful restart takes less than 2 seconds to generate a new server process.</p> </article> </div>

The log viewer searches the server log file in blocks for the specified log level. The default block size is 20KB. You can use the <span class="val">Begin</span>, <span class="val">End</span>, <span class="val">Next</span>, and <span class="val">Prev</span> buttons to navigate a large log file.</p> <h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Information" class="ls-icon-info"></span> The size of a dynamically generated page is limited by <span class="tagl"><a href="ServTuning_Help.html#maxDynRespSize">Max Dynamic Response Body Size (bytes)</a></span>. So if the block is too big, the page might be truncated.</p> </article> </div>

This is a convenient tool to monitor the system. The report shows a snapshot of your server statistics. The refresh rate for this snapshot is controlled by the Refresh Interval drop-down list in the upper righthand corner. The report contains the following sections: <ul><li>Server Health shows the basic server statistics, uptime, load, and anti-DDoS blocked IPs.</li> <li>Server lists current traffic throughput, connections, and requests statistics.</li> <li>Virtual Host shows request processing statuses and external application statuses for each virtual host.</li> <li>External Application lists the external applications currently running and their usage statistics. The CGI daemon process lscgid is always running as an external application.</li> </ul> Many of the rows in the Real-Time Statistics feature a graph icon. Clicking on this icon will open a graph of that row's statistics updated in real-time. In the Server section, next to Requests, there is a link labeled (Details). This link takes you to the Requests Snapshot, where you can view detailed information on which clients are making certain kinds of requests or which aspects of your site are bottlenecking. The fields in the blue area allow you to filter the snapshot to isolate certain parts of your server or look for clients that are performing certain actions.</p> </article> </div>
<div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="toggleDebugLog"><h3>Toggle Debug Logging<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#toggleDebugLog"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Toggle Debug Logging toggles the value of <span class="tagl"><a href="ServGeneral_Help.html#log_debugLevel">Debug Level</a></span> between <span class="val">NONE</span> and <span class="val">HIGH</span>. As debug logging has an impact on performance and can fill up the hard drive quickly, so <span class="tagl"><a href="ServGeneral_Help.html#log_debugLevel">Debug Level</a></span> should usually be set to <span class="val">NONE</span> on a production server. This feature can be used instead to turn debug logging on and off quickly in order to debug a problem on a production server. Debug logging turned on or off in this way will not change anything shown in your server configurations.</p> <h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Information" class="ls-icon-info"></span> <span class="tagl"><a href="#toggleDebugLog">Toggle Debug Logging</a></span> will only work if <span class="tagl"><a href="ServGeneral_Help.html#log_logLevel">Log Level</a></span> is set to <span class="val">DEBUG</span>. <span title="Performance" class="ls-icon-performance"></span> Important! Debug logging includes detailed information for each request and response. Active debug logging will severely degrade service performance and potentially saturate disk space in a very short time. This feature should only be used for a short period of time when trying to diagnose server issues.</p> <h4>See Also</h4><p class="ls-text-small"><span class="tagl"><a href="ServGeneral_Help.html#log_debugLevel">Debug Level</a></span>, <span class="tagl"><a href="ServGeneral_Help.html#log_logLevel">Log Level</a></span></p> </article> </div>

It shows license info and information on all installed versions and available new releases. <ul><li>If a new version has been released on the LiteSpeed website, and <span class="tagl"><a href="ServGeneral_Help.html#autoUpdateInterval">Check For Update</a></span> is enabled, the new version will be listed with a <span class="val">Download</span> link. If <span class="tagl"><a href="ServGeneral_Help.html#autoUpdateDownloadPkg">Download Updates</a></span> is enabled, new versions will be automatically downloaded and the new version will be listed with an <span class="val">Upgrade</span> link. Upgrade installs the new package and restarts the web server. </li> <li>You return to a previous version by clicking the <span class="val">Switch To</span> link. This will restart the web server with that version.</li> <li>If you are sure that you no longer need an old installation, you can remove it by clicking the <span class="val">Delete</span> link.
