# Status

> Overview of the Status page in Platform 6, covering Applications, Adapters, and Indexing tabs.

This information applies to Platform 6.0.0 and higher.

Prior to Platform 6, the Profiles page in Admin Essentials contained **Applications**, **Adapters**, **Configure**, and **Indexing** tabs. Now that Itential Platform can run without a profile, the **Applications**, **Adapters**, and **Indexing** tabs were moved for accessibility to a new **Status** page. These tabs still provide the same information and controls as before:

* **Applications** gives status information of all configured Platform services.
* **Adapters** gives information about configured adapters.
* **Indexing** gives the status of the MongoDB indexing.

## Applications

From the **Applications** tab, a grid displays status information for each application; you also have the ability to stop/start/restart each application, as necessary. This tab updates every 60 seconds when open.

## Adapters

From the **Adapters** tab, a similar application grid is displayed, along with a status indicator (check mark) and connection icon (right triangle) to indicate if the adapter is properly connected. This tab also updates every 60 seconds when open.

## Indexing

From the **Indexing** tab, the grid displays a list of indexes present on the system and shows whether those indexes are valid or not. Indexing can only be accessed for the active profile. In this way, the Itential Platform admin can quickly see if the necessary indexes are properly installed on the database.

| Column           | Description                                                                                                                                                   |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Total Indexes    | The number of indexes that Itential Platform can see for that collection.                                                                                     |
| Current Indexes  | The number of indexes that match what Itential Platform expects to see and are properly indexed.                                                              |
| External Indexes | The number of custom indexes found on the collection. These indexes should be scrutinized to ensure no conflicts with the Itential Platform provided indexes. |
| Status           | A symbol indicating the status of database indexes.                                                                                                           |

To perform admin actions on the **Indexing** tab, a user must have access to the `getIndexes` method. This includes the ability to direct Itential Platform to create indexes on the database.

Security-minded care should be observed when assigning this permission to a user or group of users.

The **Run Indexing** button becomes available only if an index is either missing or misnamed. Running indexing may take anywhere from a couple of seconds to 30 minutes or more. When the button is pressed, a loader will show until the process is done, with the dialog polling occasionally to determine if the process is complete. If the dialog is closed, polling stops; if it is reopened, polling resumes.
