Sauron Console
Open Sauron Console and sign in using your instance's access method.
Start with Endpoints
If you are new, open Endpoints. An endpoint is a web address for a Sauron tool, such as Grafana. Open an enabled component or copy its address for a supported integration.
Success: You can identify the instance and find the page you need. If an endpoint is missing, it may not be enabled for this Sauron; ask your Sauron owner before assuming it is broken.
What can I do in Console?
| Page | What it shows | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Health | Current read-only checks and a high-level view of component status. | An unavailable check means Console could not verify it; it does not prove a component is down. |
| Chat | Answers about Sauron Help and observability concepts, when enabled. | Browser Chat does not inspect live instance data or make changes. |
| Instance | Configured instance, access, retention, and component values. | Missing values are unknown here, not assumed to be disabled. |
| Recovery | A backup list for supported components. | A listed backup does not prove a restore will succeed; the list may be limited and this page does not start a restore. |
| Endpoints | Enabled component URLs and descriptions. | A listed URL does not prove the component is healthy or that your role can open it. |
For charts, use Grafana. For log search, use OpenSearch Dashboards. For supported configuration changes, use the Sauron API with the required access. Explore your Sauron explains what each tool is for in simple English.
Health
Read each Health result's label and explanation. These checks do not diagnose every problem with your service's dashboards, logs, or alerts.
Chat
Open Chat for Help answers. For limited read-only checks of a Sauron you select, see Sauron Investigator in Codex. Do not paste passwords, tokens, keys, reset links, or other secrets into Chat.
Instance
Use Instance to copy a redacted support summary. Console does not infer values absent from the Sauron spec.
Recovery
The Recovery list can be limited by backend results; a missing older backup does not prove it is absent. See Restore OpenSearch Indices for a supported restore path.
Endpoints
Additional Thanos Store endpoints may appear on Endpoints after registration.
Tips and checks
- Tips: Confirm the Sauron name before inspecting settings. Review suggested commands before running them.
- Check: If a page fails, refresh it and try the linked component directly. If that also fails, follow the relevant access or troubleshooting checks.
