• grafana-server
• lsyncd

Check that services are running correctly

For any of these two services it, the command systemctl status .service should yield active (running) in the answer, as shown below, otherwise the service needs to be restarted.  If it says active but not running, it is not OK.

If you log in from a console on Mac or linux, it is possible that you don't see colours in the text. In that case read the message with care.

Start or restart the service

In order to restart any of these service you need to type the command

sudo systemctl status restart .service
