To manage a payload:

1. On the zeuz control panel (ZCP), navigate to the Payloads page and click MANAGE beside a payload to open the Payload : Edit page.

The Payload : Edit page shows payload information in the following four regions:

• Basic Information: Shows the IP address of the machine allocated to the payload, the payload status and port details.
• Payload Definition: Shows the details that were used to create the payload, such as the Image and Command.
• General: Shows IDs for the payload, machine, allocation and environment, and the region of the payload.
• Payload Info: Shows performance and usage data for the payload. See View payload metrics for details.

1 - Restart an active payload.

2 - Reserve or unreserve a payload.

3 - Activate or deactivate a payload.
