_Summary:&nbsp;The post explains how to confirm whether Dynatrace OneAgent is running on your system. It includes command-line checks for Linux and Windows environments and troubleshooting tips for inactive agents._

Hi,

Can we check whether oneagent is running or not by the following CLI command?

・Linux

```auto
service oneagent status

```

・Windows

```auto
sc query Dynatrace OneAgent | findstr STATE

```

Note) I got the service names for oneagent from “[How can I stop/restart OneAgent?](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/installation/setup-tips/how-can-i-stop-restart-oneagent/)”.

Best Regards,

Kohei

On Windows, the service name needs to be quoted as:

```auto
"Dynatrace OneAgent"

```

But otherwise these are indeed correct.
