Settings & keep-time · Services and self-healing
What do the green, yellow and red dots mean in Settings → Services?
Short answer: Green means running normally, yellow means waiting or paused and expected to recover by itself, and red means stopped or needs your attention — the row's detail line says what to do.
Green means a part is running, yellow means it's waiting and should recover by itself, and red means it needs you.
- Green — running. The part is working or idle and ready. Nothing to do.
- Yellow — sleeping or waiting. It's paused, waiting for a connection, or can't act right now but should recover by itself — for example while your external drive is unplugged.
- Red — stopped or needs attention. Something needs you; the row's second line says what to do, and some rows offer a button that fixes it in place.
Yellow is usually nothing to worry about. Red is worth reading straight away.
