Enabling and Disabling Services

For security purposes, an administrator may need to stop one or more services from accessing Kraken. From the Services page, you can:

• Enable and disable network or input capture services, including SDI (DeckLink) Capture, GigE Capture, NDI Capture, ST2110 Capture, Analog (V4L2) Capture, RTSP and SSH,
• Select which network interfaces allow access to the Kraken Web and API interface in a multi-NIC system. This enables separation of streaming and management interfaces on Kraken,
• Enable or disable the tracking of anonymous product analytics.

Note

Some services require a valid Kraken license to enable control of the desired Kraken service.

1. Click Settings on the sidebar, and select the Services tab. 
   The Services page opens displaying the current status of network services (as shown in the following example).
   

   

   
   
   

   Note

   The icon in the Status column indicates the service status: 

   Icon	Indication
   	Service is started and operating as expected.
   	Service is in the process of starting or stopping.
   	Error. Toggle is on, but the service has failed to start.
   	Service is stopped.
