Services

{% hint style="info" %} The Services menu is only available to Docker Swarm endpoints. {% endhint %}

A service consists of an image definition and container configuration as well as instructions on how those containers will be deployed across a Swarm cluster.

When the new image notification feature is enabled, the circle next to the image name indicates whether the local image is up to date, with a green circle indicating it is up to date and a red circle indicating that there is a newer version of the image available at the remote registry. A grey circle indicates Portainer was unable to determine whether there is an update available for the image.

For more on how this works, have a look at this knowledge base article.

{% content-ref url="add.md" %} add.md {% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="configure.md" %} configure.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Once a service has been created you can scale it to meet your needs, as well as view individual task status and logs.

{% content-ref url="scale.md" %} scale.md {% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="tasks.md" %} tasks.md {% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="logs.md" %} logs.md {% endcontent-ref %}

If you need to undo some changes to a service, you can roll it back.

{% content-ref url="rollback.md" %} rollback.md {% endcontent-ref %}

You can also configure webhooks for your services.

{% content-ref url="webhooks.md" %} webhooks.md {% endcontent-ref %}
