Cluster info

This article refers to Platform v3.1.0. The current Platform version is v3.2.0.

Overview​

The Cluster Info Card provides a comprehensive view of the cluster's main details and allows management of its nodes. It is composed of two distinct segments that can be shown or hidden according to user preference.

Cluster Segment​

This segment displays the general information about the cluster, including:

  • Cluster name
  • Number of nodes in the cluster
  • Cluster status
  • Cluster ID
  • Virtual IP address

From this segment, users can access the cluster edit modal to modify the basic parameters of the cluster.

Nodes Segment​

The Nodes segment provides detailed information about each node within the cluster. It includes:

  • Identification of whether a node is the cluster leader
  • Online status of each node
  • Availability status of the node
  • Installed applications and models on the node
  • Network interface selected for Swarm traffic if restricted
  • Labels applied to the node

Users can also access a modal from this segment to add, edit, or remove nodes.

Additionally, several actions can be performed on individual nodes:

  • Drain Node: Safely remove workloads from the node before maintenance or removal.
  • Pause Node: Temporarily suspend node activity without removing workloads.
  • Force Activate: Override and force the node to become active.
  • Firmware Update: Update the node's firmware to the latest version.
  • Remove Node: Delete the node from the cluster.

Did you know...

A node marked as the "Leader" in a Swarm cluster is responsible for managing the cluster state and orchestrating tasks. This role is critical for cluster coordination and ensuring consistent operation across nodes.

Node Actions Explained:

  • Drain: Moves workloads off the node to prepare it for maintenance or removal.
  • Pause: Temporarily halts node activity without affecting running workloads.
  • Force Activate: Forces a node to become active, useful in recovery scenarios.
  • Firmware Update: Keeps the node's firmware up to date for security and performance.
  • Remove Node: Deletes the node from the cluster configuration.
