SYNOPSIS
doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] service status [service [...]]
DESCRIPTION
doveadm service status produces a table with a line for each service, containing the following details: name the name of the service process_count the number of processes actually running for the service process_avail the number of additional processes that can be spawned for the service process_limit the maximum number of processes that can be active for the service client_limit the maximum number of connections that the service will handle simultaneously throttle_secs seconds to wait before launching another process when processes are dying unexpectedly early for the service exit_failure_last timestamp when the last process was terminated abnormally for the service exit_failures_in_sec number of abnormally terminated processes for the service in the last second last_drop_warning timestamp when the last time a "dropping client connections" warning was logged listen_pending if the master process is queuing connections that need to be dispatched listening if service is listening doveadm_stop if the service has been stopped by doveadm(1) process_total the total number of processes forked for the service since the service start.
GLOBAL OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) -D Enables verbosity and debug messages. -O Do not read any config file, just use defaults. The dovecot_storage_version setting defaults to the latest version, but can be overridden with -k Preserve entire environment for doveadm, not just import_environment setting. -v Enables verbosity, including progress counter. -i instance-name If using multiple Dovecot instances, choose the config file based on this instance name. See instance_name setting for more information. -c config-file Read configuration from the given config-file. By default it first reads config socket, and then falls back to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. You can also point this to config socket of some instance running compatible version. -o setting=value Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times. -f formatter Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported formatters are: flow prints each line with key=value pairs. pager prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L). tab prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines. table prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.
ARGUMENTS
service (optional) Filters the list according to the specified service or services. By default, all dovecot services are listed.
