The Service management tab of the Admin page is the place for connecting and orchestrating DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) services with DDI orchestrator. This is where connected services are displayed. Your services can be hosted on-premises, deployed on specialized appliances, or reside in the cloud.
By default, the list displays all services configured in the system.
In the left sidebar, you can filter the list by type of service or provider. When you select a service from the list, the Inspector on the right side of the page displays its properties.
The Web Application does not yet provide full management of IPAM services. Therefore, they are not listed here, but you can still enable IPAM services using the Add service function.
In the Service management list, the State column displays indicators representing the status of each service configured in the system. These indicators may refer to the agents running on the DNS/DHCP server. Refer to the following table for detailed information about statuses:
| Indicator | Component | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Unknown | Agent | The status of the DNS/DHCP Agent is unknown. |
| OK | Server, Agent | The DNS/DHCP Agent and service are both OK. |
