Pinman services

The Pinman Services page reports the background processes that support the connected Machine. Use it to check their state, inspect recent logs, or restart an individual service.

The page keeps service state and the active environment together:

These are Pinman's own services. Windows services on the Machine appear on the Machine page.

Service rows#

Each row shows the service name, state, and port where applicable.

Open Logs to inspect the current tail without leaving the page:

Restarting the API asks for confirmation because the browser will disconnect briefly. The page reconnects when the API returns.

Services shown#

Service	Purpose
API Service	Connects the UI and CLI with the active Project and Machine.
Audio Service	Supports Pinman's audio features.
Overlay Service	Supports the Operator overlay when Operator mode is enabled.
Inputs Service	Handles Operator input controls when Operator mode is enabled.
Scheduler	Runs scheduled work inside the API. It appears only while active.

The tray supervises the API and sidecar services. If several services need to be restarted together, use Restart Pinman from the tray menu or pinman service restart.

The Environment panel identifies the data and configuration used by the running API.
