Administration

NOTE: The Administration dashboard can be accessed only when the users have both the Administrator role and the Container Administrator role. To grant the users with the Container Administrator role, go to Administration > Users & Security management under Administer Server > Manage Users, Groups, Roles > Roles tab. |
The Administration dashboard supports new agent creation and existing agents management. It contains the following features:
Use Create Agent or the Add button to start a wizard to create a new agent. See Creating and Activating a Kubernetes Agent for more information.
Remove Prometheus will start a wizard to remove the Prometheus successfully deployed through our platform.
Select the Prometheus you want to remove and click Remove.
If the Prometheus service is deleted successfully, a result message will be display. Otherwise, the Remove Prometheus wizard will appear again with error messages to guide you with further operations. Follow the messages and delete them again later.
Use Activate, Deactivate, Start Data Collection, Stop Data Collection, Delete, and Update Agent to manage the agent.
