How To: Manage Node Status and Command Queue
============================================

From the Node Status page in NodeWorx, administrators can manage the Node status, check for unplayed commands,
and view the history of commands that have been cascaded from the Cluster Manager to the Nodes.

#. Under Action, the Status bar indicates the current status of the Nodes

   - It is also possible to control the status of the Nodes from this interface:

      - **Arrow** restarts/refreshes the service
      - **Stop** stops the service

To Manage the Command Queue
----------------------------

.. warning::

   If the status of Node shows 'stopped', please submit a ticket to `support.interworx.com <https://support.interworx.com>`__ for 
   assistance. Do not skip any steps in the Command Queue for that Node, as doing so risks corrupting the queue and 
   throwing the Cluster Manager and Node out of sync.
