Restart Service panel

Use this panel to start or stop the metadata server restart service, or to view information about individual servers.

This service enables probes to periodically check the metadata server condition. The probes automatically restart the metadata servers when necessary, because they continually monitor metadata server state.
Restriction: If a metadata server has the restart service enabled, and the metadata server is later manually shut down, the restart service is disabled and you must start it again.
