If servers are restarted after a temporary shutdown, how do I check if has ECE started up again? I can't access the Cloud UI, so I assume are there any command line checks that's i can do? ---

Hi @sayeedch For a start you can check some things by running `docker ps` or `systemctl status docker` or `journalctl -u docker` to see if something is wrong We don't have (yet) any script(s) to check for running status and other similar issues. ---

@sayeedch to add to what @Patroklos_Papapetrou said, you can also check the status of the runner of that host via UI (see tab "Runners"). If it is running (status is green) then very likely that all other services on that host are running too. If they don't, the runner will start them. Also, if the node has allocator service, then you can check its status as well (see tab "Allocators"). ---

Thanks guys. I ran the above commands and it appeared that the docker daemon failed to start. It wasn't configured to restart after a reboot. I fixed the daemon issue using the information on here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39100641/docker-service-start-failed](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39100641/docker-service-start-failed) However, by running the remove command, I ended up deleting all the ECE images on the coordinator box. I am running a coordinator and an allocator on separate boxes each. I tried pulling the images by running the ECE installation script again on the coordinator but that resulted in failure. - Running Bootstrap container - Monitoring bootstrap process - Loaded bootstrap settings {} - Unhandled error. {} -- An error has occurred in bootstrap process.

@sayeedch go to the host where you installed ECE first. Open file `{HOST_STORAGE_PATH}/bootstrap_state/bootstrap_secrets.json` where `HOST_STORAGE_PATH` is the path that you specified during installation (argument `--host-storage-path`). If you did not specify it, the path would be `/mnt/data/elastic/boostrap_state/...`. This file contains very sensitive information and **we highly recommend to move that file to a secure location**. The file contains a JSON object. You need to find a field `emergency_all_roles_except_allocator_token` and copy its value. This is a token that allows you to bootstrap an ECE instance with all roles except `allocator`. Then follow instructions described in [Using the Emergency Roles Token](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ece-troubleshooting-emergency.html) Hope it helps. Please let me know if it worked for you or not ---
