How to play with the web console

This document will describe how to use the basic functions provided by the Experience Center Web Console.

Web Console Overview​

"Cluster Information" page includes application status, node status, dashboard connection status, and the namespaces assigned to users. (each user can only operate in their own namespace, please refer to the design documentation for details)

On the right side of the page is the navigation bar of the web console. In addition to displaying cluster information, the web console also provides functions such as node management, workload management, and labs.
