Once an application is running, you can select it to get complete visibility and manage any of its components.

From the main application view you can drill-down into components, and even individual containers.

Change Management

When an application is modified in the Catalog, Nirmata will propagate the changes to each running instance of the application. The changes will be processed based on the Update Policy of each environment. If the Update Policy is set to “View” a notification is shown when changes are available. You can then view the changes and decide to accept or reject them.

Scaling Pods

You can scale Pods for your Deployments or StatefulSets in a running Application. Simply select the scaling icon next to a component, or at the top right of the components table and set the desired replica counts.

Application Activity

Nirmata automatically tracks and correlates all user and system changes made to applications. You can view all activity for an application in the activity panel:

Application Metrics

Nirmata collects and aggregates several statistic from each Pod and automatically aggregates them by components and applications. You can view these statistics (aggregated) at the application level, or for an individual resources:

Cloud Shell

This action opens a new browser window with an embedded shell:

Container Logs

You can also stream a containers log (STDOUT and STDERR) output, by selecting the “View Logs” action:
