Deployed data service dashboard

This topic explains all features available in the deployment details page.

Prerequisites

A deployed data service

From the Data Services Dashboard, you can view the deployment details page in one of the following ways:

Click on a data service.
Expand a data service, and then select the View Details button.

The deployment dashboard helps you view:

the deployment status of your data service
additional details regarding the connection, configuration, and resources used in your deployment
deployment health: status and events occurred during the deployment process
json files for status and deployment details
the list of your backup jobs

From the dashboard, you can also:

update a data service
manage or edit the data service
backup a data service (ad-hoc or scheduled)
view metrics

View deployment status

PDS displays one of the following statuses for each deployment:

Available: data service deployed successfully
Partially Available: one or more pods are yet to come up
Unavailable: pods are down, and the data service is unavilable
Unknown: when PDS is unable to compute the pods state

Connection

By default, the Connection tab is selected in the Additional Details window:

The Connection tab displays:

Ports: the open ports used for a specific deployment.
Authentication: the credentials (username and password) for a deployment.
Nodes: all the running nodes in a deployment.

IMPORTANT: Some PDS functionality is dependent on database access. Examples include monitoring and backups. If you change the password for the pds user, you need to also update the corresponding Kubernetes secret for the deployment. The secret can be found in the namespace with the name <DEPLOYMENT-NAME>-creds.

For more information, see Update Kubernetes secret after changing the pds password.

You can also select the connection button, below the node hexagons, to directly access the Connection tab.

Resources

The Resources tab displays the:

sum of CPU utilization, memory, and storage used by all nodes
maximum available CPU and memory limits for a specific deployment

To view the Deployment Health window:

In the Deployments page, select a deployed data service.
In the deployment dashboard, select the vertical ellipsis button next to Edit.
