GuidesUsing the Console

System configuration

Browse typed system settings, draft-review-publish flow, apply modes, and the admin gate.

Menu: System configuration (/system-configuration). Only main / admin can access; other roles are redirected to the namespace page.

System configuration

Page structure

  1. Top switch: Pole Server / Console.
  2. Browse by domain: bootstrap/assembly, namespaces, discovery, configuration, cache sync, storage, auth, workload credentials, logging, runtime, upstream, observability queries, Agent, and similar.
  3. Search and source filters locate items.
  4. Columns: setting, current effective value, source, publish target, apply mode, management mode (page-editable / deploy config).

Apply modes

UI copyMeaning
Bootstrap onlyBootstrapOnly: change deploy/startup config only
Restart requiredRestartRequired: publish desired value; instances marked pending restart
Hot reloadHotReload: hot-update when a safe applier exists
Guarded hot reloadGuardedHotReload: hot-update with extra guards

On-screen guidance: bootstrap, secrets, and deploy-topology fields stay locked; restart-class settings are explicitly marked pending restart after publish.

Editable flow

For page-managed fields:

  1. Edit to create a draft.
  2. Review desired vs effective.
  3. Publish the desired value.
  4. Watch for hot reload or “pending restart”.

Do not read “desired published” as “every instance already effective”.

Agent domain

In Agent-related settings you can:

  • Edit model / Gateway / MCP fields
  • Run connection tests
  • After publish, some items report hot-reloaded on the current instance

API keys and similar secrets are write-only: pages, diffs, logs, and model context show references only—never plaintext.

Relation to metrics

System configuration is control-plane parameters; runtime dashboards live under Metrics. Empty metrics without an observability stack does not mean system configuration failed.
