Services tool window

Main toolbar

The main toolbar contains the following buttons and menus that are common for all service types:

Expand All Ctrl+NumPad +

Expand all items in the list.

Collapse All Ctrl+NumPad -

Collapse all items in the list.

Group By

Choose how you want to organize the list of services.

Filter

Choose how you want to filter the list of services.

Open in New Tab

Move the selected items to a separate tab.

Add Service Alt+Insert

Choose a service type to add.

Run/debug configurations

Run/debug configurations are not listed in the Services tool window by default. You need to explicitly specify the types of configurations you want to be available and create the corresponding configurations.

Buttons on the toolbar depend on the selected type of the run/debug configuration.

Application servers

All types of application server run/debug configurations are available in the Services tool window by default. Create an application server configuration and it will be available in the list of services.

Database service

In the database service, you can manage your sessions and connections. Connection is a physical communication channel and session is a state of information exchange. For example, if you surf a social network, your connection log might have thousands of connection entries between a client and a server while a session log might show you only a single log entry with the number of bytes transferred.

For more information about managing database sessions, see Managing connection sessions.

Productivity tips

Use tabs

The Services tool window can include a lot of services, which you can group according to their type or create separate tabs for your own custom grouping. For example, you can create a tab that will include the following: the run configuration for the application that you are developing, the Docker container that runs the database used as a backend for your application, and a console for accessing the database.

Hide the services tree

Click in the right part of the Services tool window toolbar and then click Show Services Tree to remove the checkbox. You can also press Ctrl+Shift+T to toggle the services tree.

If you hide the services tree, it is replaced by a services navigation bar. Press Alt+Home to focus the services navigation bar.

Hide, remove, and delete services

Right-click any service and select Delete Delete to completely remove the corresponding run configuration, cloud provider, Docker connection, and so on.

If you don't want to show run/debug configurations of a certain type in the Services tool window, right-click the corresponding configuration and select Remove Configuration Type from Services. This will not remove the actual configuration.

To hide a specific run configuration from the Services tool window, right-click the corresponding configuration and select Hide Configuration. To see all hidden run configurations, click and select Restore Hidden Configurations.
