# Services

The services overview gives you an overview of all services available on the host that were detected by Pulsar, including stopped services.

***

<i class="fa-compass">:compass:</i> Navigate to **Hosts** → **Overview** and click the name of a host to open the host detail menu on the [Dashboard](/docs/manual/english/platform-usage/host-detail-view/dashboard.md). Then click **Monitoring** → **Services** in the host detail menu to display a list of all services found on the host.

In the [services overview](#services-overview), you can see, among other things:

* whether a service is currently running or stopped.
* which service is executed with which command.
* whether a service is system-relevant and may open ports without triggering an alarm.
* whether a service can be started from the Enginsight platform.

You can also [start or stop services](#additional-actions-for-list-items), [mark them as system-relevant](#additional-actions-for-list-items), or [export the services list](#export-list) in full or in part.
