The server message is a temporary message displayed to all users when they are using PageSeeder. Administrators can set a server message for imminent events, such as to let users know that the server might be down for maintenance or to notify them of user experience degradation due to maintenance operations.
Examples of server messages:
Users can hide the message by clicking the
A server message is NOT an email message – it always displays at the top of the page.
The administrator dashboard is divided up in widgets that provide shortcuts to the administration user interface.
This widget lets you find any user account in PageSeeder by typing the first name, surname, username or email address. Select or click the member in the drop-down to go to their account profile page.
Click the Accounts button to go to the user accounts page.

The mail widget shows a bar chart for the last 7 days based on the mail logs. Click the Mail logs button to go to the mail logs page.
This widget indicates how many mails have been processed by PageSeeder in the last 7 days.
The index widget shows a bar chart for the last 7 days based on the system index logs. Click the Index logs button to go to the index logs page.
The indexing job summary displays the number of objects (document, comment, task) being indexed. It is generally 0 unless an indexing job is in progress. You can launch an indexing job from the server indexing page, which you can view by clicking the Indexing button.
It’s OK if there is a large number of objects being indexed. Unless a new indexing process has very recently been launched, ensure that this number is decreasing steadily. If you suspect this can affect the user experience, send a server message.
The process widget shows a bar chart for the last 7 days based on the system process logs. Click the Process logs button to go to the process logs page.
The processes job summary indicates how many active threads are running.
That number is generally 0 unless a background process such as an upload thread is underway. It’s OK to have multiple active threads, however, if that number doesn’t decrease over time, it could indicate a problem.
The publish widget shows a bar chart for the last 7 days based on the system publish logs. Click the Publish logs button to go to the publish logs page.
The publish jobs summary indicates how many publish jobs are in progress.
That number is generally 0 unless a publish process has been started. It’s OK to have multiple publish processes running concurrently, however, if that number doesn’t decrease over time, it could indicate a problem.
Multiple large publish jobs can affect the user experience.
This widget shows key indicators about the status of the system.
Click the Server info button to go to the system information page.
The disk space indicates how much disk space is available. The bar shows how much disk space is used in relation to the total disk space where PageSeeder is installed. When you put the mouse pointer over the bar, the tooltip shows the precise amount of disk space used and available. If you are low on disk space, the box and bar show in yellow (less than 500MB available) or red (less than 200MB available).
The disk space only shows the main disk drive. If you’ve mounted some folder (e.g. logs or cache) to a different volume, this is not reflected.
The memory indicates how much of JVM memory is available. The bar shows how much memory is used by the JVM in relation to the total amount of JVM memory that the JVM can claim. When you put the mouse pointer over the bar, the tooltip shows the precise amount of memory used and available. If you are low on memory, the box and bar show in yellow (less than 10% available) or red (less than 5% available).
The environment box shows name and version of the Operating System (OS), Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and Server used by PageSeeder.
The caching box indicates how many documents are currently in the XML document cache. Click the Caching button to see more details on the cache overview page.
Click the General logs button to go to the general logs page.
This widget indicates how many errors and warnings are present in the recent logs. The box and buttons change color if there are any warnings or errors. Click the Recent logs button to view the recent logs page.

These numbers are reset if the cache is cleared on the system.
Click the Server properties button to go to the server properties page.
This widget shows the key configuration options in your PageSeeder installation.
The database configuration summary indicates which type of database (MySQL or Postgres) is used, the name of the database host, and the version of the SQL driver loaded. Click the Database button to go to the database settings page.
The email configuration summary indicates the incoming domain used and the hostname of the outgoing SMTP server. Click the Email button to go to the email settings page.
The license configuration summary indicates the type of PageSeeder license used and the domain it is licensed for. Click the License button to go to the PageSeeder license page and view the settings.
The log bar charts are designed to help administrators assess quickly whether an item requires their attention.
They display the number of log events for each of the last seven days. There are three color-coded event levels that are stacked by the level of severity.
The graphs use a logarithmic scale to ensure that issues requiring attention are clearly visible regardless of the amount of activity.
For example:
Hold the pointer over the bar to see the number of events by severity on a day.
Click the bar to see the log events on that day.
