Operate

Keep a running deployment healthy: updates, backups, monitoring, troubleshooting and disaster recovery.

• Updating

  Update DataMind OS from the Update button or inside DataMind OS, update the DataMind Installer from its pill or card, check each update worked, and recover when one fails.

• Platform updates and the Installer card

  Check for, pull and install DataMind OS updates and update the DataMind Installer from inside DataMind OS, and understand each message, limit and mode.

• Backup and restore

  Back up the DataMind Installer's database, secrets and deployment files, restore them on the same or a new host, and check that the restore worked.

• Disaster recovery

  Bring a deployment back on a new host after the old one is lost - what to have ready, the order of the restore, and how to start the deployment.

• Health, monitoring and logs

  How to tell whether DataMind OS and the DataMind Installer are healthy, what a failed health check looks like, where every log goes, and how long it is kept.

• Troubleshooting

  Diagnose a failed install, update or service - every error message with its cause and fix, a silent restart loop, and recovery from a failed Installer update.
