Managing a Cluster
You can use the pgEdge Cloud console to review cluster information; highlight the name of a cluster in the Clusters
menu to access the console for that cluster.
The console header displays information about the selected cluster:
- the console name
- the length of time since console creation
- the name of the cloud provider
- the number of regions that host nodes
- the instance type and size of each node
Also in the cluster header, a set of informational panes tell you the state of the cluster at a glance:
- the total node count
- the number of healthy nodes
- the number of unhealthy nodes
- the number of unresponsive nodes
The Actions Menu
Use options accessed via the Actions
drop-down menu in the upper-right corner of the dialog to manage your cluster.
Select from the options listed to:
- Add a node to the cluster.
- Remove a node from the cluster.
- Update Backup Stores.
- Delete a cluster.
