Managing Web Services
- Former user (Deleted)
WSO2 ESB provides many tools to manage web services that are deployed. When you deploy a single service in a service archive, the archive file name will always be used as the service file name, unless you have a name attributed to the service file. If the name of the service archive file is Test.aar, then the name of the service will be Test. You can view the service dashboard of a particular service via the ESB Management Console.
To view the Service Dashboard
- Click the Main tab on the Management Console and then go to Manage -> Service Bus and click List. This will take you to the Deployed Services screen.
- Click the name of the required service to view its dashboard. For more information, see Accessing Services.
You will see the following panels on the service dashboard:
The following section describes the properties displayed on each panel of the service dashboard.

The Service Details panel displays the following details of a service:
- Service Name - The name of the service.
