Profiles and Diagnostics

A profile is Servestead’s local record of one environment. The Profiles workspace puts its setup state, repository, run history, credentials, and cloud metadata behind one selection.

Select a profile on the left; its current state, next action, management areas, and recent runs appear in one workspace.

Select and Read a Profile

Open Profiles and choose a row. The status strip shows:

• Setup — the latest setup result.
• Activity — whether a run is idle, active, completed, failed, or cancelled.
• GitOps — the current repository state.

The Next line gives the most relevant follow-up. Expand Profile metadata when you need the server address, domain, certificate email, cloud state, update time, or repository path.

Manage the Environment

The compact operation bar opens focused controls without leaving the profile:

• Stacks inventories editable application stacks, public resources, and deployment eligibility.
• GitOps shows working-tree state, the current commit, push status, repository actions, and diffs.
• Access shows masked credential status and controlled reveal/update actions.
• Cloud shows provider metadata plus guarded restart and destroy controls.

Use Diagnostics

Select Diagnostics to open a side panel that connects three common investigations:

1. Runs lists recent outcomes and links to persisted logs.
2. GitOps shows repository status, the current commit, and whether a push is pending.
3. Cloud shows provider, resource, image, region, size, address, and active/destroyed state.

Start with the failed run, then compare repository or cloud state only when the failure points there.

Review Run History

Select View history to search runs and logs. Open a run to see the stored JSONL events with known profile secrets masked. The newest runs appear first.

Delete a Local Profile

Expand Profile settings and read the impact carefully. Deleting removes local profile metadata, credentials, encryption keys, state, and logs. It does not change the remote server, cloud resource, or configuration repository.

Export any age identity needed to recover encrypted stack secrets before deletion. The form requires the displayed delete <profile-name> phrase, and deletion is blocked while a run is active.

Expected Result

You can explain the profile’s current setup, activity, and GitOps state, identify its next action, and open the exact run or subsystem that needs attention.
