Workloads
The Workloads page provides a unified view of the applications running in your OtterScale cluster. It aggregates information about Deployments, StatefulSets, and DaemonSets, allowing you to monitor their health and perform basic management tasks.
Introduction
Section titled “Introduction”The Workloads page displays a list of all applications. The table includes the following information:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the application. Clickable: Navigates to the Workload Details page, where you can view in-depth information about the application’s resources and status. |
| Type | The Kubernetes workload type (e.g., Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet). |
| Namespace | The Kubernetes namespace where the application is deployed. |
| Health | The health status of the application, shown as a ratio of healthy pods to total pods. |
| Service | The number of Kubernetes Services associated with the application. |
| Pod | The total number of Pods managed by the application. |
| Replica | The desired number of replicas (instances) for the application. |
| Container | The number of containers defined in the application’s pod spec. |
| Volume | The number of Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) attached to the application. |
| NodePort | Displays any exposed NodePorts. Clickable: Click the external link icon next to the port number to open the service in a new tab, using the node’s IP address and the assigned NodePort. |
Workload Details
Section titled “Workload Details”Clicking on a workload’s name takes you to the details page, which provides a comprehensive view of the application:
- Header: Displays the application name, namespace, type, and associated labels.
- Statistics Cards:
- Containers: Lists the containers within the pods and their images.
- Persistent Volume Claims: Shows the storage volumes attached to the workload.
- Storage Classes: Indicates the storage classes used by the volumes.
Pods Table
Section titled “Pods Table”The Pods Table lists all individual pods managed by this workload.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The unique name of the pod. |
| Phase | The current lifecycle phase of the pod (e.g., Running, Pending). |
| Ready | The number of ready containers relative to the total number of containers in the pod. |
| Restarts | The number of times the pod’s containers have been restarted. |
| Last Condition | The most recent condition or error status. If an issue exists, it displays the reason and message (hover for details). |
| Terminal | Clickable: Opens a web-based terminal session connected to the pod in a new window. |
| Actions | Provides options to manage the individual pod. |
Services Table
Section titled “Services Table”The Services Table lists the Kubernetes Services associated with the workload, providing network access details.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the Kubernetes Service. |
| Type | The type of service (e.g., ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer). |
| Cluster IP | The internal IP address assigned to the service within the cluster. |
| Ports | Lists the port configurations, including the protocol (e.g., TCP/UDP), the exposed port, the NodePort (if applicable), and the target port. |
Manage Workloads
Section titled “Manage Workloads”You can manage the lifecycle of your applications using the Actions menu.
Workload Actions
Section titled “Workload Actions”The Actions menu (three dots icon) for each application provides the following options:
Restart
Section titled “Restart”Triggers a rolling restart of the application. This is useful for reloading configurations or clearing transient issues.
- Select Restart from the actions menu.
- Confirm the action to initiate the restart process.
Allows you to adjust the number of replicas for the application.
- Select Scale from the actions menu.
- Enter the desired number of replicas.
- Click Confirm to update the application scale.
