Navigate: Dev Center > Diagnostics & Maintenance > Maintenance > Terminate Stuck Process(es)
The Terminate Stuck Process(es) feature in Znode allows administrators to manually identify and terminate processes that have become unresponsive or stuck due to system errors or unexpected interruptions. This helps maintain platform stability and ensures that other dependent processes continue to run smoothly.
Through the Diagnostics & Maintenance section, administrators can select specific areas to terminate or apply the termination action across all areas

- When an administrator clicks on Terminate, the system opens up a confirmation pop-up.
- The administrator can select the relevant area manually for which the process needs to be terminated (All areas are checked by default).

- Once all stuck processes have been terminated, the administrator receives a notification regardless of the screen they are on.
- As soon as the processes are terminated either manually or by system-defined jobs, a log is generated in the Event Logs.
- When a stuck publish is terminated, the system does not clear the associated garbage data immediately. Instead, this data is removed during the next successful publish.
