# Checking status and debugging
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Zulip uses [Supervisor](http://supervisord.org/index.html) to monitor
 | 
			
		||||
and control its many Python services. Read the next section, [Using
 | 
			
		||||
supervisorctl](#using-supervisorctl), to learn how to use the
 | 
			
		||||
Supervisor client to monitor and manage services.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If you haven't already, now might be a good time to read Zulip's [architectural
 | 
			
		||||
overview](architecture-overview.html), particularly the
 | 
			
		||||
[Components](architecture-overview.html#components) section. This will help you
 | 
			
		||||
understand the many services Zulip uses.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If you encounter issues while running Zulip, take a look at Zulip's logs, which
 | 
			
		||||
are located in  `/var/log/zulip/`. That directory contains one log file for
 | 
			
		||||
each service, plus `errors.log` (has all errors), `server.log` (has logs from
 | 
			
		||||
the Django and Tornado servers), and `workers.log` (has combined logs from the
 | 
			
		||||
queue workers).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The section [troubleshooting services](#troubleshooting-services)
 | 
			
		||||
on this page includes details about how to fix common issues with Zulip services.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If you run into additional problems, [please report
 | 
			
		||||
them](https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues) so that we can update
 | 
			
		||||
this page!  The Zulip installation scripts logs its full output to
 | 
			
		||||
`/var/log/zulip/install.log`, so please include the context for any
 | 
			
		||||
tracebacks from that log.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Using supervisorctl
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To see what Zulip-related services are configured to
 | 
			
		||||
use Supervisor, look at `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip.conf` and
 | 
			
		||||
`/etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip-db.conf`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Use the supervisor client `supervisorctl` to list the status of, stop, start,
 | 
			
		||||
and restart various services.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Checking status with `supervisorctl status`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
You can check if the zulip application is running using:
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
supervisorctl status
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
And checking for errors in the Zulip errors logs under
 | 
			
		||||
`/var/log/zulip/`.  That contains one log file for each service, plus
 | 
			
		||||
`errors.log` (has all errors), `server.log` (logs from the Django and
 | 
			
		||||
Tornado servers), and `workers.log` (combined logs from the queue
 | 
			
		||||
workers).
 | 
			
		||||
When everything is running as expected, you will see something like this:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
