How do I know if FAS is running?
You can use the following methods to check whether the FAS is running:
1. Management Console (Recommended)
The most reliable way to verify if the FAS service is running is through the Management Console, which allows you to see the status of individual components.
Access the Management Console at:
https://<FAS_Master_Node_IP>:9990
After logging in, you should see the status of the Master Node with the following three processes marked as “Active”:
appserver
loadbalancer
management
If you’re using a High Availability (HA) cluster, you can switch to the Slave Node by using the Server dropdown in the top-left corner. Once selected, click Done to view its status. The Slave Node should display two active processes:
loadbalancer
appserver
2. Service Status via Command Line
You can check the FAS service status using the following command:
service fas status
If the service is running, this will return the process ID (PID).
If not, it will indicate that the service is stopped.
If a PID is returned, proceed to verify the associated Java processes.
3. Java Process Check
Use this command to verify that the FAS-related Java processes are running:
ps -ef | grep <PID_from_service_fas_status> -wc
Expected output:
6 → if it’s a Master Node
5 → if it’s a Slave Node
While this confirms that Java processes are running, it does not guarantee that all FAS modules have started correctly. For full validation, we recommend using the Management Console, as described in Method 1.
