# Common Services

Common services are internal services that are always available for the Substation ES interfaces.

Common services are used by interface processes to perform logging, tracing, common facilitation of system monitoring, and capture of errors and statistics. Because they run in worker thread subtasks, common services are always multitasked. You can use the logging and tracing facilities to track the progress of transactions and handle errors.
