View the VMware Cloud Director Appliance Service Status

You can monitor the status of the VMware Cloud Director appliance services by using the VMware Cloud Director appliance management user interface.

On the services tab, you can monitor the vmware-vcd, vpostgres, and appliance-sync.timer services for primary and standby appliances and the vmware-vcd and appliance-sync.timer services for application cells.

The appliance-sync.timer service periodically runs the appliance-sync.service which shares relevant information between all nodes in the database HA cluster or VMware Cloud Director server group. appliance-sync.service runs a periodic check and sync of needed files for the VMware Cloud Director appliance functionality by reading and writing the configuration files of the appliances in the appliance group. The healthy states of the timer are waiting and running.
