# Quick Actions [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/YGBpalwUte3Ex6FL-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/YGBpalwUte3Ex6FL-image.png) Each XMPP relay has a set**of quick actions** that allow you to interact directly with the machines it manages. These actions are accessible from the **list of relays** and are designed to simplify common administration, diagnostic, or configuration tasks without requiring advanced technical knowledge. Here is a detailed overview of each action, its purpose, and the procedure for using it. ##### **1. View the list of installed packages** **Purpose** View the software installed on the machines attached to a relay. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/wWSJTMTVyovnhPGG-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/wWSJTMTVyovnhPGG-image.png) 1. Click the **"List of packages"** button to the right of the relevant relay. 2. A window opens displaying the installed software, along with their names and versions. **When to use** - To verify the presence of a program. - To check the software versions deployed. ##### **2. Reconfigure the machines connected to the relay** **Objective** Automatically reapply the active configuration to machines connected to the relay. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/9BmhvemT5zqhKVep-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/9BmhvemT5zqhKVep-image.png) 1. Click **"Reconfigure"**. 2. Confirm the action if prompted. 3. The machines will receive the current configuration again. **When to use** - After modifying settings, rules, or configuration files. - If a machine appears to be out of sync or non-compliant. ##### **3. Change the relay on one or more machines (Switch function)** **Objective** Move one or more machines from one relay to another. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/9MIMr8DRc3QLTgZe-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/9MIMr8DRc3QLTgZe-image.png) 1. Click **"Switch"** to the right of the original relay. 2. Select the machines to move. 3. Select the destination relay. 4. Confirm to apply the change. **When to use it** - When performing maintenance or removing a relay. - When reorganizing the network architecture. ##### **4. Modify the configuration files** **Objective** Manually modify the configuration files of a relay or its machines. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/rb85EmLrYeQuGUyI-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/rb85EmLrYeQuGUyI-image.png) 1. Click **"Edit configuration files" (first gear icon)** 2. An editing interface opens. 3. Make the necessary changes. 4. Save the changes. **When to use it** - To adjust a specific configuration for a one-time need. - During a test or manual intervention. **Note**: This operation directly affects the system. Use with caution. ##### **5. View current or past quality assurance (QA) checks** **Objective** View compliance, security, or quality tests performed on the machines. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/5gLBcEFCvBsF7Bin-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/5gLBcEFCvBsF7Bin-image.png) 1. Click **"QA Launched"**. 2. A window displays the list of tests run and their status (passed or failed). **When to use** - To verify that the rules are being properly applied. - To identify potential malfunctions. ##### **6. Access system actions (advanced diagnostics)** **Objective** To use diagnostic or remote intervention tools on a machine. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/UqLArYatH03nz37y-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/UqLArYatH03nz37y-image.png) 1. Click **"Actions"** next to the relay. 2. Select one of the available options: - **Reboot**: Restart the machine. - **Process**: View running processes. - **Disk usage**: View the disk space used. - **Agent version**: View the version of the installed software agent. - **Netstat**: displays active network connections. - **Console**: opens a command-line interface. **When to use it** - When a machine is down, running slowly, or unstable. - For quick diagnostics or manual verification. ##### **7. Banning a machine** **Objective** Temporarily block a machine’s access to the system. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/2Zcif4bOj4pIIVmz-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/2Zcif4bOj4pIIVmz-image.png) 1. Click **"Ban"** next to the relay. 2. Confirm the ban. 3. The machine is isolated from the rest of the network. **When to use** - In case of abnormal behavior, suspected compromise, or a critical error. ##### **8. Unbanning a machine** **Objective** To lift the block applied to a previously banned machine. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/N7W0hTJdiofrtOny-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/N7W0hTJdiofrtOny-image.png) 1. Click **"Unban"**. 2. The machine regains its normal communication privileges. **When to use** - After the initial problem has been resolved. - If the machine was blocked incorrectly. ##### **9. Remote Access** **Objective** To control a machine remotely as if you were physically in front of it. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/hkSZv9KWOI84dVKs-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/hkSZv9KWOI84dVKs-image.png) 1. Click **"Remote Control"**. 2. A remote session opens, allowing you to interact with the machine’s graphical interface. **When to use it** - To perform manual operations. - To diagnose a specific problem. - When no other automated action is sufficient. ##### **10. Manage relay rules** **Objective** View, modify, or add operating rules specific to a relay. **Procedure** [![image.png](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/scaled-1680-/JErMfRCrxPsm50bo-image.png)](https://docs.medulla-tech.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-03/JErMfRCrxPsm50bo-image.png) 1. Click on **"Relay Rules" (last gear icon)** 2. From the interface: - View existing rules. - Edit or delete obsolete rules. - Add new rules as needed. **When to use it** - To automate repetitive actions. - To dynamically adapt the relay's behavior to a specific use case.
