Hi Nicole, No, this is the right place.
Your question is a little unclear to me since it is hard to tell whether you're talking about the supervisor Storm daemon, or the supervisord tool for running services. I'm going to assume you are asking why storm-nimbus is in the BACKOFF state, and whether it is still running. Going by the supervisord docs (http://supervisord.org/subprocess.html), it sounds like supervisord tried to start Nimbus, decided it didn't succeed, and placed it into the BACKOFF state. This is a temporary waiting state where supervisord will wait a bit, before trying to start Nimbus again. Nimbus may or may not be running when in this state. Supervisord may have assumed wrong, and Nimbus actually managed to start. In your case, Nimbus is clearly running since you can submit topologies. You can most likely figure out whether Nimbus crashed, and why, by reading the Nimbus log. The default location is in your-storm-dir/logs/nimbus.log.
