Server Status

The server status page has been cleaned up with a few quality of life improvements:

  • Units supplied for numbers, such as “7 threads” or “30,000 ms”
  • Number of items held in the resource cache is shown, so there is visual feed back when using Clear button.
  • Documentation has been updated to cover all the status field descriptions and document the available actions

For more information see Server Status page.
