Use Gitea, Headlamp and Grafana
Open Gitea, Headlamp or Grafana from the Management header.
| Tool | Purpose | Access |
|---|---|---|
Gitea |
Inspect the Appliance configuration repository and its history; perform advanced configuration edits. |
Gitea authentication and repository permissions. It can remain available without a connected appliance. |
Headlamp |
Inspect Kubernetes resources, readiness, events and current workload logs. |
Management administrator and an active cluster access lease for remote Appliance access. |
Grafana |
Inspect Appliance dashboards and retained metrics, operational logs and audit records. |
Management administrator and active cluster access. The proxy also depends on Management and the appliance Kubernetes API. |
Open the correct Cluster in Headlamp
-
Sign in as a Management administrator and connect the Appliance to open a cluster access lease.
-
Open Headlamp from the header.
-
Select the Appliance context before inspecting or changing resources. Headlamp connects to the remote Appliance through Management.
-
Locate the affected namespace and workload, then inspect readiness, events and logs.
Headlamp uses shared Kubernetes credentials. Management checks who can open the tool, but Kubernetes permissions are shared rather than assigned per user. Treat resource edits, pod deletion and terminal access as privileged operations. Use the GitOps workflow for persistent configuration changes.
Open Grafana
Open Grafana and choose the dashboard for the affected service and time range. Follow health, logs and audits for investigation tasks. Management authenticates access to the proxy. Grafana does not attribute actions to individual Management users.
Coordinate manual Terminal or Headlamp changes with automated operations. Management does not prevent those manual changes from running at the same time as automation.
When the cluster access lease ends, the Appliance context and proxied tools become unavailable. Reconnect and reopen the tool. If access remains unavailable, compare Appliance reachability with tool-specific errors and collect diagnostics.
