# vSphere Host Show Services Task

The **Show ESXi Host Services State** task is designed to show all running and stopped ESXi host services. If you need to monitor the state of a specific service, you can create and customize a [vSphere Host Service Monitor](host_service_monitor.md) using information provided by this task.

The task can be launched directly from an open alert (or any view in-context of the Host object).
