Clusters are managed through the cluster dashboard.
To get there:
- Expand the Infrastructure section on the main, left-hand navigation.
- Click Clusters in the Infrastructure sub-navigation
Name | Description |
|---|---|
Range | The timeframe. Adjust to view a longer or shorter window of events. |
Non-essential | When enabled, any resource marked as non-essential is filtered out of the results. |
Filter | Provides per-resource filtering options, allowing more granular control over the dashboard report. |
Severity | Description |
|---|---|
Critical | The highest level of severity. These events should be reviewed immediately, as they may indicate issues affecting security or uptime. |
High | Events that should be reviewed. They do not typically pose an immediate risk, but may surface issues before they escalate. |
Medium | Events that do not require immediate attention, but are useful when debugging or investigating existing issues. |
Individual Cluster Dashboard
After selecting an individual cluster from the dropdown or from the list under priority events, the portal shows the individual cluster dashboard. This dashboard provides scoped information pertinent to managing and understanding this cluster.
Available Resources
The available resources for all servers for the given cluster.
Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
RAM Allocation | The amount of memory reserved for workloads on the server. |
RAM Usage | The amount of memory currently being consumed by running workloads. |
CPU Allocation | The amount of CPU capacity allocated to the server, measured in shares. |
Total RAM | The total amount of memory available on the server. |
Total CPU Shares | The total CPU capacity available for allocation, in shares. |
Overcommitted CPU | CPU capacity allocated beyond the base level of available shares. |
Cluster Events
The events graph shows all events that pertain to the given cluster, unlike the clusters dashboard mentioned above which details events across all clusters until filtering is applied.
Cluster Telemetry
In this section both the CPU and RAM usage graph show aggregation of usage across all nodes in the cluster.
Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
RAM Usage | The amount of memory being used by the cluster over time. This data is shown as a time-series to help identify trends, spikes, or sustained increases in memory consumption. |
CPU Usage | The percentage of CPU capacity being used by the cluster over time. This data helps identify workload intensity, spikes in activity, and potential resource constraints. |
Monitoring Usage
While monitoring is still in active development, per cluster monitoring metrics usage will still be displayed here.
Note that going over the monitoring usage maximum will currently not have an affect on the platform or any of the services in the cluster.
Providers and Servers
The Providers section shows all providers where there are currently deployed servers in this cluster and the number of those servers deployed.
The Servers section has links to the servers deployed in the cluster showing more about the health and last check-in.
Adding A Cluster
Cluster create can be found by navigating to the Clusters page under Infrastructure on the main navigation. Click the Add button to open the cluster create wizard.
On the form the user only needs to supply an identifier, optionally the access controls can also be set.
Cluster Settings
The cluster settings page, available on the horizontal navigation when the cluster is selected from the clusters list, opens modifications to the cluster for the user.
Users can make changes to cluster access controls on this page.
To delete the cluster, enter the cluster name into the delete form and submit.
