Deployment Health

The Deployment Health Dashboard provides information about the overall health of the node cluster. The top pane highlights each piece of the cluster network:

Nodes. The number of appliances in your network. You have the option of configuring individual stand-alone nodes or a cluster of three or more nodes. Stand-alone configuration is supported for all engine types except ExtremeCloud IQ.
Note
When using an ExtremeCloud™ IQ engine, you must configure a cluster of three or more nodes in multiples of three (for example, three, six, or nine nodes). ExtremeCloud IQ is not supported in stand-alone mode, requires a cluster, and does not support engine types other than ExtremeCloud IQ.
Pods. A group of managed containers that share networking and storage resources from the same node (appliance). Each pod is assigned an IP address. All the containers in the pod share the same storage, IP address, and network namespace.
Services. Network Services running on the node cluster.
Volumes. Storage that allows data to be accessible to containers within a pod.

Deployment Health also provides best practice information for your Universal Compute Platform configuration. System Health checks are run against your configuration and operational setup to inform you of best practices.

Examples of what's checked include:

Default route configuration
NTP settings are configured.
System backup is scheduled
VRRP interface is configured properly
Kubernetes nodes and HA cluster are healthy
Load balancing is configured
DNS settings are configured with Primary and Secondary DNS servers. In addition, DNS is able to resolve URLs successfully.
Inter-node connectivity (latency) is within acceptable limits

Health check results are reported using the following scheme:

Green indicates that a best practice is being followed.
Yellow indicates that your configuration is not optimal.
Red indicates an error in your configuration.
Fix all error conditions. You have the option to ignore warnings. They are provided to inform and encourage best practice configuration.
Select for a description of each statement or warning.
Select to list objects causing an issue, and to jump to that area of Universal Compute Platform to improve your configuration.
