both· Read this when: the dashboard is installed and you are running it day to day: managing the infrastructure that already exists and what you built with it, and keeping the dashboard itself healthy.
Day-to-day operation, after onboarding. Two halves.
Managing what exists: the infrastructure you already run and everything you built with the dashboard. Configure it, change it on a schedule or inside an approved window, and keep the playbooks, scripts and images it depends on.
| Page | Read it when |
|---|---|
| Config Management | you are about to run an Ansible job against existing hosts and want to know how the runner handles secrets and isolation |
| Scheduling | you want a change to run later, run repeatedly, or run only inside an approved window, or it has to wait for a second person to sign it off. The full reference, Change Windows, and Action Guardrails are under scheduling/ |
| Storage Management | you are enabling a feature that needs a storage backend for playbooks, scripts or images, which several of them do |
Running the dashboard itself: where it is hosted, how its jobs run, what it tells you, and what it cleans up.
| Page | Read it when |
|---|---|
| Cloud Hosting | you want the dashboard reachable from outside your LAN, or fronting remote agents |
| Container User | you are upgrading from a release that ran as root, a job hits "permission denied", or you are setting a security context on the container |
| Job Worker | a long job is sitting queued, or you are sizing the worker for more of them |
| Health | you want to know whether what the dashboard built is still running, and whether its cloud credentials, hypervisors, BeyondTrust tenants, Gateways, Password Safe accounts, Entitle and agents are working |
| Notifications | you want to hear about expiring resources and failed jobs without opening the dashboard |
| Auto-delete Timer | you want lab resources to clean themselves up. Read it before enabling it, because it deletes infrastructure |
| Config Migration | you are standing up a second instance and do not want to re-type months of configuration |
