Web console


OpenShift Container Platform 4.17

Getting started with the web console in OpenShift Container Platform

Red Hat OpenShift Documentation Team

Abstract

This document provides instructions for accessing and customizing the OpenShift Container Platform web console.

Chapter 1. Web Console Overview

The Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform web console provides a graphical user interface to visualize your project data and perform administrative, management, and troubleshooting tasks. The web console runs as pods on the control plane nodes in the openshift-console project. It is managed by a console-operator pod. Both Administrator and Developer perspectives are supported.

Both Administrator and Developer perspectives enable you to create quick start tutorials for OpenShift Container Platform. A quick start is a guided tutorial with user tasks and is useful for getting oriented with an application, Operator, or other product offering.

1.1. About the Administrator perspective in the web console

The Administrator perspective enables you to view the cluster inventory, capacity, general and specific utilization information, and the stream of important events, all of which help you to simplify planning and troubleshooting tasks. Both project administrators and cluster administrators can view the Administrator perspective.

Cluster administrators can also open an embedded command line terminal instance with the web terminal Operator in OpenShift Container Platform 4.7 and later.

Note

The default web console perspective that is shown depends on the role of the user. The Administrator perspective is displayed by default if the user is recognized as an administrator.

The Administrator perspective provides workflows specific to administrator use cases, such as the ability to:

  • Manage workload, storage, networking, and cluster settings.
  • Install and manage Operators using the Operator Hub.
  • Add identity providers that allow users to log in and manage user access through roles and role bindings.
  • View and manage a variety of advanced settings such as cluster updates, partial cluster updates, cluster Operators, custom resource definitions (CRDs), role bindings, and resource quotas.
  • Access and manage monitoring features such as metrics, alerts, and monitoring dashboards.
  • View and manage logging, metrics, and high-status information about the cluster.
  • Visually interact with applications, components, and services associated with the Administrator perspective in OpenShift Container Platform.

1.2. About the Developer perspective in the web console

The Developer perspective offers several built-in ways to deploy applications, services, and databases. In the Developer perspective, you can:

  • View real-time visualization of rolling and recreating rollouts on the component.
  • View the application status, resource utilization, project event streaming, and quota consumption.
  • Share your project with others.
  • Troubleshoot problems with your applications by running Prometheus Query Language (PromQL) queries on your project and examining the metrics visualized on a plot. The metrics provide information about the state of a cluster and any user-defined workloads that you are monitoring.

Cluster administrators can also open an embedded command line terminal instance in the web console in OpenShift Container Platform 4.7 and later.

Note

The default web console perspective that is shown depends on the role of the user. The Developer perspective is displayed by default if the user is recognised as a developer.

The Developer perspective provides workflows specific to developer use cases, such as the ability to:

  • Create and deploy applications on OpenShift Container Platform by importing existing codebases, images, and container files.
  • Visually interact with applications, components, and services associated with them within a project and monitor their deployment and build status.
  • Group components within an application and connect the components within and across applications.
  • Integrate serverless capabilities (Technology Preview).
  • Create workspaces to edit your application code using Eclipse Che.

You can use the Topology view to display applications, components, and workloads of your project. If you have no workloads in the project, the Topology view will show some links to create or import them. You can also use the Quick Search to import components directly.

Additional resources

See Viewing application composition using the Topology view for more information on using the Topology view in Developer perspective.

1.3. Accessing the Perspectives

You can access the Administrator and Developer perspective from the web console as follows:

Prerequisites

To access a perspective, ensure that you have logged in to the web console. Your default perspective is automatically determined by the permission of the users. The Administrator perspective is selected for users with access to all projects, while the Developer perspective is selected for users with limited access to their own projects

Additional resources

See Adding User Preferences for more information on changing perspectives.

Procedure

  1. Use the perspective switcher to switch to the Administrator or Developer perspective.
  2. Select an existing project from the Project drop-down list. You can also create a new project from this dropdown.
Note

You can use the perspective switcher only as cluster-admin.

Chapter 2. Accessing the web console

The OpenShift Container Platform web console is a user interface accessible from a web browser. Developers can use the web console to visualize, browse, and manage the contents of projects.

2.1. Prerequisites

2.2. Understanding and accessing the web console

The web console runs as a pod on the control plane node. The static assets required to run the web console are served by the pod.

After you install OpenShift Container Platform using the openshift-install create cluster command, you can find the web console URL and login credentials for the installed cluster in the CLI output of the installation program. For example:

Example output

INFO Install complete!
INFO Run 'export KUBECONFIG=<your working directory>/auth/kubeconfig' to manage the cluster with 'oc', the OpenShift CLI.
INFO The cluster is ready when 'oc login -u kubeadmin -p <provided>' succeeds (wait a few minutes).
INFO Access the OpenShift web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.demo1.openshift4-beta-abcorp.com
INFO Login to the console with user: kubeadmin, password: <provided>

Use those details to log in and access the web console.

For existing clusters that you did not install, you can use oc whoami --show-console to see the web console URL.

Important

The dir parameter specifies the assets directory, which stores the manifest files, the ISO image, and the auth directory. The auth directory stores the kubeadmin-password and kubeconfig files. As a kubeadmin user, you can use the kubeconfig file to access the cluster with the following setting: export KUBECONFIG=<install_directory>/auth/kubeconfig. The kubeconfig is specific to the generated ISO image, so if the kubeconfig is set and the oc command fails, it is possible that the system did not boot with the generated ISO image. To perform debugging, during the bootstrap process, you can log in to the console as the core user by using the contents of the kubeadmin-password file.

Chapter 3. Using the OpenShift Container Platform dashboard to get cluster information

The OpenShift Container Platform web console captures high-level information about the cluster.

3.1. About the OpenShift Container Platform dashboards page

Access the OpenShift Container Platform dashboard, which captures high-level information about the cluster, by navigating to HomeOverview from the OpenShift Container Platform web console.

The OpenShift Container Platform dashboard provides various cluster information, captured in individual dashboard cards.

The OpenShift Container Platform dashboard consists of the following cards:

  • Details provides a brief overview of informational cluster details.

    Status include ok, error, warning, in progress, and unknown. Resources can add custom status names.

    • Cluster ID
    • Provider
    • Version
  • Cluster Inventory details number of resources and associated statuses. It is helpful when intervention is required to resolve problems, including information about:

    • Number of nodes
    • Number of pods
    • Persistent storage volume claims
    • Bare metal hosts in the cluster, listed according to their state (only available in metal3 environment)
  • Status helps administrators understand how cluster resources are consumed. Click on a resource to jump to a detailed page listing pods and nodes that consume the largest amount of the specified cluster resource (CPU, memory, or storage).
  • Cluster Utilization shows the capacity of various resources over a specified period of time, to help administrators understand the scale and frequency of high resource consumption, including information about:

    • CPU time
    • Memory allocation
    • Storage consumed
    • Network resources consumed
    • Pod count
  • Activity lists messages related to recent activity in the cluster, such as pod creation or virtual machine migration to another host.

3.2. Recognizing resource and project limits and quotas

You can view a graphical representation of available resources in the Topology view of the web console Developer perspective.

If a resource has a message about resource limitations or quotas being reached, a yellow border appears around the resource name. Click the resource to open a side panel to see the message. If the Topology view has been zoomed out, a yellow dot indicates that a message is available.

If you are using List View from the View Shortcuts menu, resources appear as a list. The Alerts column indicates if a message is available.

Chapter 4. Adding user preferences

You can change the default preferences for your profile to meet your requirements. You can set your default project, topology view (graph or list), editing medium (form or YAML), language preferences, and resource type.

The changes made to the user preferences are automatically saved.

4.1. Setting user preferences

You can set the default user preferences for your cluster.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform web console using your login credentials.
  2. Use the masthead to access the user preferences under the user profile.
  3. In the General section:

    1. In the Theme field, you can set the theme that you want to work in. The console defaults to the selected theme each time you log in.
    2. In the Perspective field, you can set the default perspective you want to be logged in to. You can select the Administrator or the Developer perspective as required. If a perspective is not selected, you are logged into the perspective you last visited.
    3. In the Project field, select a project you want to work in. The console defaults to the project every time you log in.
    4. In the Topology field, you can set the topology view to default to the graph or list view. If not selected, the console defaults to the last view you used.
    5. In the Create/Edit resource method field, you can set a preference for creating or editing a resource. If both the form and YAML options are available, the console defaults to your selection.
  4. In the Language section, select Default browser language to use the default browser language settings. Otherwise, select the language that you want to use for the console.
  5. In the Notifications section, you can toggle display notifications created by users for specific projects on the Overview page or notification drawer.
  6. In the Applications section:

    1. You can view the default Resource type. For example, if the OpenShift Serverless Operator is installed, the default resource type is Serverless Deployment. Otherwise, the default resource type is Deployment.
    2. You can select another resource type to be the default resource type from the Resource Type field.

Chapter 5. Configuring the web console in OpenShift Container Platform

You can modify the OpenShift Container Platform web console to set a logout redirect URL or disable the quick start tutorials.

5.1. Prerequisites

  • Deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

5.2. Configuring the web console

You can configure the web console settings by editing the console.config.openshift.io resource.

  • Edit the console.config.openshift.io resource:

    $ oc edit console.config.openshift.io cluster

    The following example displays the sample resource definition for the console:

    apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
    kind: Console
    metadata:
      name: cluster
    spec:
      authentication:
        logoutRedirect: "" 1
    status:
      consoleURL: "" 2
    1
    Specify the URL of the page to load when a user logs out of the web console. If you do not specify a value, the user returns to the login page for the web console. Specifying a logoutRedirect URL allows your users to perform single logout (SLO) through the identity provider to destroy their single sign-on session.
    2
    The web console URL. To update this to a custom value, see Customizing the web console URL.

5.3. Disabling quick starts in the web console

You can use the Administrator perspective of the web console to disable one or more quick starts.

Prerequisites

  • You have cluster administrator permissions and are logged in to the web console.

Procedure

  1. In the Administrator perspective, navigate to AdministationCluster Settings.
  2. On the Cluster Settings page, click the Configuration tab.
  3. On the Configuration page, click the Console configuration resource with the description operator.openshift.io.

    Image of the Configuration page showing the correct Console configuration resource to select
  4. From the Action drop-down list, select Customize, which opens the Cluster configuration page.
  5. On the General tab, in the Quick starts section, you can select items in either the Enabled or Disabled list, and move them from one list to the other by using the arrow buttons.

    • To enable or disable a single quick start, click the quick start, then use the single arrow buttons to move the quick start to the appropriate list.
    • To enable or disable multiple quick starts at once, press Ctrl and click the quick starts you want to move. Then, use the single arrow buttons to move the quick starts to the appropriate list.
    • To enable or disable all quick starts at once, click the double arrow buttons to move all of the quick starts to the appropriate list.

Chapter 6. Customizing the web console in OpenShift Container Platform

You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform web console to set a custom logo, product name, links, notifications, and command line downloads. This is especially helpful if you need to tailor the web console to meet specific corporate or government requirements.

6.1. Adding a custom logo and product name

You can create custom branding by adding a custom logo or custom product name. You can set both or one without the other, as these settings are independent of each other.

Prerequisites

  • You must have administrator privileges.
  • Create a file of the logo that you want to use. The logo can be a file in any common image format, including GIF, JPG, PNG, or SVG, and is constrained to a max-height of 60px. Image size must not exceed 1 MB due to constraints on the ConfigMap object size.

Procedure

  1. Import your logo file into a config map in the openshift-config namespace:

    $ oc create configmap console-custom-logo --from-file /path/to/console-custom-logo.png -n openshift-config
    Tip

    You can alternatively apply the following YAML to create the config map:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: console-custom-logo
      namespace: openshift-config
    binaryData:
      console-custom-logo.png: <base64-encoded_logo> ... 1
    1
    Provide a valid base64-encoded logo.
  2. Edit the web console’s Operator configuration to include customLogoFile and customProductName:

    $ oc edit consoles.operator.openshift.io cluster
    apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
    kind: Console
    metadata:
      name: cluster
    spec:
      customization:
        customLogoFile:
          key: console-custom-logo.png
          name: console-custom-logo
        customProductName: My Console

    Once the Operator configuration is updated, it will sync the custom logo config map into the console namespace, mount it to the console pod, and redeploy.

  3. Check for success. If there are any issues, the console cluster Operator will report a Degraded status, and the console Operator configuration will also report a CustomLogoDegraded status, but with reasons like KeyOrFilenameInvalid or NoImageProvided.

    To check the clusteroperator, run:

    $ oc get clusteroperator console -o yaml

    To check the console Operator configuration, run:

    $ oc get consoles.operator.openshift.io -o yaml

6.3. Customizing console routes

For console and downloads routes, custom routes functionality uses the ingress config route configuration API. If the console custom route is set up in both the ingress config and console-operator config, then the new ingress config custom route configuration takes precedent. The route configuration with the console-operator config is deprecated.

6.3.1. Customizing the console route

You can customize the console route by setting the custom hostname and TLS certificate in the spec.componentRoutes field of the cluster Ingress configuration.

Prerequisites

  • You have logged in to the cluster as a user with administrative privileges.
  • You have created a secret in the openshift-config namespace containing the TLS certificate and key. This is required if the domain for the custom hostname suffix does not match the cluster domain suffix. The secret is optional if the suffix matches.

    Tip

    You can create a TLS secret by using the oc create secret tls command.

Procedure

  1. Edit the cluster Ingress configuration:

    $ oc edit ingress.config.openshift.io cluster
  2. Set the custom hostname and optionally the serving certificate and key:

    apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
    kind: Ingress
    metadata:
      name: cluster
    spec:
      componentRoutes:
        - name: console
          namespace: openshift-console
          hostname: <custom_hostname> 1
          servingCertKeyPairSecret:
            name: <secret_name> 2
    1
    The custom hostname.
    2
    Reference to a secret in the openshift-config namespace that contains a TLS certificate (tls.crt) and key (tls.key). This is required if the domain for the custom hostname suffix does not match the cluster domain suffix. The secret is optional if the suffix matches.
  3. Save the file to apply the changes.

6.3.2. Customizing the download route

You can customize the download route by setting the custom hostname and TLS certificate in the spec.componentRoutes field of the cluster Ingress configuration.

Prerequisites

  • You have logged in to the cluster as a user with administrative privileges.
  • You have created a secret in the openshift-config namespace containing the TLS certificate and key. This is required if the domain for the custom hostname suffix does not match the cluster domain suffix. The secret is optional if the suffix matches.

    Tip

    You can create a TLS secret by using the oc create secret tls command.

Procedure

  1. Edit the cluster Ingress configuration:

    $ oc edit ingress.config.openshift.io cluster
  2. Set the custom hostname and optionally the serving certificate and key:

    apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
    kind: Ingress
    metadata:
      name: cluster
    spec:
      componentRoutes:
        - name: downloads
          namespace: openshift-console
          hostname: <custom_hostname> 1
          servingCertKeyPairSecret:
            name: <secret_name> 2
    1
    The custom hostname.
    2
    Reference to a secret in the openshift-config namespace that contains a TLS certificate (tls.crt) and key (tls.key). This is required if the domain for the custom hostname suffix does not match the cluster domain suffix. The secret is optional if the suffix matches.
  3. Save the file to apply the changes.

6.4. Customizing the login page

Create Terms of Service information with custom login pages. Custom login pages can also be helpful if you use a third-party login provider, such as GitHub or Google, to show users a branded page that they trust and expect before being redirected to the authentication provider. You can also render custom error pages during the authentication process.

Note

Customizing the error template is limited to identity providers (IDPs) that use redirects, such as request header and OIDC-based IDPs. It does not have an effect on IDPs that use direct password authentication, such as LDAP and htpasswd.

Prerequisites

  • You must have administrator privileges.

Procedure

  1. Run the following commands to create templates you can modify:

    $ oc adm create-login-template > login.html
    $ oc adm create-provider-selection-template > providers.html
    $ oc adm create-error-template > errors.html
  2. Create the secrets:

    $ oc create secret generic login-template --from-file=login.html -n openshift-config
    $ oc create secret generic providers-template --from-file=providers.html -n openshift-config
    $ oc create secret generic error-template --from-file=errors.html -n openshift-config
  3. Run:

    $ oc edit oauths cluster
  4. Update the specification:

    apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
    kind: OAuth
    metadata:
      name: cluster
    # ...
    spec:
      templates:
        error:
            name: error-template
        login:
            name: login-template
        providerSelection:
            name: providers-template

    Run oc explain oauths.spec.templates to understand the options.

6.6. Creating custom notification banners

    kind: ConsoleNotification
    metadata:
      name: example
    spec:
      text: This is an example notification message with an optional link.
      location: BannerTop 1
      link:
        href: 'https://www.example.com'
        text: Optional link text
      color: '#fff'
      backgroundColor: '#0088ce'
    1
    Valid location settings are BannerTop, BannerBottom, and BannerTopBottom.
  4. Click Create to apply your changes.

6.7. Customizing CLI downloads

You can configure links for downloading the CLI with custom link text and URLs, which can point directly to file packages or to an external page that provides the packages.

Prerequisites

  • You must have administrator privileges.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to AdministrationCustom Resource Definitions.
  2. Select ConsoleCLIDownload from the list of Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).
  3. Click the YAML tab, and then make your edits:

    apiVersion: console.openshift.io/v1
    kind: ConsoleCLIDownload
    metadata:
      name: example-cli-download-links
    spec:
      description: |
        This is an example of download links
      displayName: example
      links:
      - href: 'https://www.example.com/public/example.tar'
        text: example for linux
      - href: 'https://www.example.com/public/example.mac.zip'
        text: example for mac
      - href: 'https://www.example.com/public/example.win.zip'
        text: example for windows
  4. Click the Save button.

Prerequisites

  • You must have cluster administrator privileges.

Procedure

  1. From AdministrationCustom Resource Definitions, click on ConsoleYAMLSample.
  2. Click YAML and edit the file:

    apiVersion: console.openshift.io/v1
    kind: ConsoleYAMLSample
    metadata:
      name: example
    spec:
      targetResource:
        apiVersion: batch/v1
        kind: Job
      title: Example Job
      description: An example Job YAML sample
      yaml: |
        apiVersion: batch/v1
        kind: Job
        metadata:
          name: countdown
        spec:
          template:
            metadata:
              name: countdown
            spec:
              containers:
              - name: counter
                image: centos:7
                command:
                - "bin/bash"
                - "-c"
                - "for i in 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 ; do echo $i ; done"
              restartPolicy: Never

    Use spec.snippet to indicate that the YAML sample is not the full YAML resource definition, but a fragment that can be inserted into the existing YAML document at the user’s cursor.

  3. Click Save.

6.9. Customizing user perspectives

The OpenShift Container Platform web console provides two perspectives by default, Administrator and Developer. You might have more perspectives available depending on installed console plugins. As a cluster administrator, you can show or hide a perspective for all users or for a specific user role. Customizing perspectives ensures that users can view only the perspectives that are applicable to their role and tasks. For example, you can hide the Administrator perspective from unprivileged users so that they cannot manage cluster resources, users, and projects. Similarly, you can show the Developer perspective to users with the developer role so that they can create, deploy, and monitor applications.

You can also customize the perspective visibility for users based on role-based access control (RBAC). For example, if you customize a perspective for monitoring purposes, which requires specific permissions, you can define that the perspective is visible only to users with required permissions.

Each perspective includes the following mandatory parameters, which you can edit in the YAML view:

  • id: Defines the ID of the perspective to show or hide
  • visibility: Defines the state of the perspective along with access review checks, if needed
  • state: Defines whether the perspective is enabled, disabled, or needs an access review check
Note

By default, all perspectives are enabled. When you customize the user perspective, your changes are applicable to the entire cluster.

6.9.1. Customizing a perspective using YAML view

Prerequisites

  • You must have administrator privileges.

Procedure

  1. In the Administrator perspective, navigate to AdministrationCluster Settings.
  2. Select the Configuration tab and click the Console (operator.openshift.io) resource.
  3. Click the YAML tab and make your customization:

    1. To enable or disable a perspective, insert the snippet for Add user perspectives and edit the YAML code as needed:

      apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
      kind: Console
      metadata:
        name: cluster
      spec:
        customization:
          perspectives:
            - id: admin
              visibility:
                state: Enabled
            - id: dev
              visibility:
                state: Enabled
    2. To hide a perspective based on RBAC permissions, insert the snippet for Hide user perspectives and edit the YAML code as needed:

      apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
      kind: Console
      metadata:
        name: cluster
      spec:
        customization:
          perspectives:
            - id: admin
              requiresAccessReview:
                - group: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
                  resource: clusterroles
                  verb: list
            - id: dev
              state: Enabled
    3. To customize a perspective based on your needs, create your own YAML snippet:

      apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
      kind: Console
      metadata:
        name: cluster
      spec:
        customization:
          perspectives:
            - id: admin
              visibility:
                state: AccessReview
                accessReview:
                  missing:
                    - resource: deployment
                      verb: list
                  required:
                    - resource: namespaces
                      verb: list
            - id: dev
              visibility:
                state: Enabled
  4. Click Save.

      When you customize the user perspective, your changes are automatically saved and take effect after a browser refresh.

6.10. Developer catalog and sub-catalog customization

As a cluster administrator, you have the ability to organize and manage the Developer catalog or its sub-catalogs. You can enable or disable the sub-catalog types or disable the entire developer catalog.

The developerCatalog.types object includes the following parameters that you must define in a snippet to use them in the YAML view:

  • state: Defines if a list of developer catalog types should be enabled or disabled.
  • enabled: Defines a list of developer catalog types (sub-catalogs) that are visible to users.
  • disabled: Defines a list of developer catalog types (sub-catalogs) that are not visible to users.

You can enable or disable the following developer catalog types (sub-catalogs) using the YAML view or the form view.

  • Builder Images
  • Templates
  • Devfiles
  • Samples
  • Helm Charts
  • Event Sources
  • Event Sinks
  • Operator Backed

6.10.1. Customizing a developer catalog or its sub-catalogs using the YAML view

You can customize a developer catalog by editing the YAML content in the YAML view.

Prerequisites

  • An OpenShift web console session with cluster administrator privileges.

Procedure

  1. In the Administrator perspective of the web console, navigate to AdministrationCluster Settings.
  2. Select the Configuration tab, click the Console (operator.openshift.io) resource and view the Details page.
  3. Click the YAML tab to open the editor and edit the YAML content as needed.

    For example, to disable a developer catalog type, insert the following snippet that defines a list of disabled developer catalog resources:

    apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
    kind: Console
    metadata:
      name: cluster
    ...
    spec:
      customization:
        developerCatalog:
          categories:
          types:
            state: Disabled
            disabled:
              - BuilderImage
              - Devfile
              - HelmChart
    ...
  4. Click Save.
Note

By default, the developer catalog types are enabled in the Administrator view of the Web Console.

6.10.2. Customizing a developer catalog or its sub-catalogs using the form view

You can customize a developer catalog by using the form view in the Web Console.

Prerequisites

  • An OpenShift web console session with cluster administrator privileges.
  • The Developer perspective is enabled.

Procedure

  1. In the Administrator perspective, navigate to AdministrationCluster Settings.
  2. Select the Configuration tab and click the Console (operator.openshift.io) resource.
  3. Click ActionsCustomize.
  4. Enable or disable items in the Pre-pinned navigation items, Add page, and Developer Catalog sections.

    Verification

    After you have customized the developer catalog, your changes are automatically saved in the system and take effect in the browser after a refresh.

Note

As an administrator, you can define the navigation items that appear by default for all users. You can also reorder the navigation items.

Tip

You can use a similar procedure to customize Web UI items such as Quick starts, Cluster roles, and Actions.

6.10.2.1. Example YAML file changes

You can dynamically add the following snippets in the YAML editor for customizing a developer catalog.

Use the following snippet to display all the sub-catalogs by setting the state type to Enabled.

apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: Console
metadata:
  name: cluster
...
spec:
  customization:
    developerCatalog:
      categories:
      types:
        state: Enabled

Use the following snippet to disable all sub-catalogs by setting the state type to Disabled:

apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: Console
metadata:
  name: cluster
...
spec:
  customization:
    developerCatalog:
      categories:
      types:
        state: Disabled

Use the following snippet when a cluster administrator defines a list of sub-catalogs, which are enabled in the Web Console.

apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: Console
metadata:
  name: cluster

Chapter 7. Dynamic plugins

7.1. Overview of dynamic plugins

7.1.1. About dynamic plugins

Dynamic plugins are loaded and interpreted from remote sources at runtime. One way to deliver and expose dynamic plugins to the console is through OLM Operators. The Operator creates a deployment on the platform with an HTTP server to host the plugin and exposes it using a Kubernetes service.

Dynamic plugins allow you to add custom pages and other extensions to your console user interface at runtime. The ConsolePlugin custom resource registers plugins with the console, and a cluster administrator enables plugins in the console Operator configuration.

7.1.2. Key features

A dynamic plugin allows you to make the following customizations to the OpenShift Container Platform experience:

  • Add custom pages.
  • Add perspectives beyond administrator and developer.
  • Add navigation items.
  • Add tabs and actions to resource pages.

7.1.3. General guidelines

When creating your plugin, follow these general guidelines:

  • Node.js and yarn are required to build and run your plugin.
  • Prefix your CSS class names with your plugin name to avoid collisions. For example, my-plugin__heading and my-plugin_\_icon.
  • Maintain a consistent look, feel, and behavior with other console pages.
  • Follow react-i18next localization guidelines when creating your plugin. You can use the useTranslation hook like the one in the following example:

    conster Header: React.FC = () => {
      const { t } = useTranslation('plugin__console-demo-plugin');
      return <h1>{t('Hello, World!')}</h1>;
    };
  • Avoid selectors that could affect markup outside of your plugins components, such as element selectors. These are not APIs and are subject to change. Using them might break your plugin. Avoid selectors like element selectors that could affect markup outside of your plugins components.
  • Provide valid JavaScript Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type using the Content-Type response header for all assets served by your plugin web server. Each plugin deployment should include a web server that hosts the generated assets of the given plugin.
  • You must build your plugin with Webpack using Webpack version 5 and later.
  • You should prefix CSS class names with your plugin name to avoid collisions. For example, my-plugin__heading and my-plugin_\_icon.
  • You should maintain a consistent look, feel, and behavior with other console pages.
  • You should avoid selectors that could affect markup outside of your plugin components, such as element selectors. These are not APIs and are subject to change.
  • You must provide a valid JavaScript Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type using the Content-Type response header for all assets served by your plugin web server. Each plugin deployment should include a web server that hosts the generated assets of the given plugin.
PatternFly guidelines

When creating your plugin, follow these guidelines for using PatternFly:

  • Use PatternFly components and PatternFly CSS variables. Core PatternFly components are available through the SDK. Using PatternFly components and variables help your plugin look consistent in future console versions.

    • Use Patternfly 4.x if you are using OpenShift Container Platform versions 4.14 and earlier.
    • Use Patternfly 5.x if you are using OpenShift Container Platform 4.15 or later.
  • Make your plugin accessible by following PatternFly’s accessibility fundamentals.
  • Avoid using other CSS libraries such as Bootstrap or Tailwind. They might conflict with PatternFly and not match the rest of the console. Plugins should only include styles that are specific to their user interfaces to be evaluated on top of base PatternFly styles. Avoid importing styles such as @patternfly/react-styles/*/.css or any styles from the @patternfly/patternfly package in your plugin.
  • The console application is responsible for loading base styles for all supported PatternFly version(s).
7.1.3.1. Translating messages with react-i18next

The plugin template demonstrates how you can translate messages with react-i18next.

Prerequisites

  • You must have the plugin template cloned locally.
  • Optional: To test your plugin locally, run the OpenShift Container Platform web console in a container. You can use either Docker or Podman 3.2.0 or later.

Procedure

  1. Prefix the name with plugin__ to avoid any naming conflicts. The plugin template uses the plugin__console-plugin-template namespace by default, and you must update when you rename your plugin for example, plugin__my-plugin. You can use the useTranslation hook, for example:

    conster Header: React.FC = () => {
      const { t } = useTranslation('plugin__console-demo-plugin');
      return <h1>{t('Hello, World!')}</h1>;
    };
    Important

    You must match the i18n namespace with the name of the ConsolePlugin resource.

  2. Set the spec.i18n.loadType field based on needed behavior.

    Example 7.1. plugin__console-demo-plugin

    spec:
      backend:
        service:
          basePath: /
          name: console-demo-plugin
          namespace: console-demo-plugin
          port: 9001
        type: Service
      displayName: OpenShift Console Demo Plugin
      i18n:
        loadType: Preload 1
    1
    Loads all the plugin’s localization resources from the i18n namespace after the dynamic plugin during loading.
  3. Use the format %plugin__console-plugin-template~My Label% for labels in console-extensions.json. The console replaces the value with the message for the current language from the plugin__console-plugin-template namespace. For example:

      {
        "type": "console.navigation/section",
        "properties": {
          "id": "admin-demo-section",
          "perspective": "admin",
          "name": "%plugin__console-plugin-template~Plugin Template%"
        }
      }
  4. Include a comment in a TypeScript file for i18next-parser to add the message from console-extensions.json to your message catalog. For example:

    // t('plugin__console-demo-plugin~Demo Plugin')
  5. To update the JSON files in the locales folder of the plugin template when adding or changing a message, run the following command:

    $ yarn i18n

7.2. Getting started with dynamic plugins

To get started using the dynamic plugin, you must set up your environment to write a new OpenShift Container Platform dynamic plugin. For an example of how to write a new plugin, see Adding a tab to the pods page.

7.2.1. Dynamic plugin development

You can run the plugin using a local development environment. The OpenShift Container Platform web console runs in a container connected to the cluster you have logged into.

Prerequisites

  • You must have cloned the console-plugin-template repository, which contains a template for creating plugins.

    Important

    Red Hat does not support custom plugin code. Only Cooperative community support is available for your plugin.

  • You must have an OpenShift Container Platform cluster running.
  • You must have the OpenShift CLI (oc) installed.
  • You must have yarn installed.
  • You must have Docker v3.2.0 or later or Podman v3.2.0 or later installed and running.

Procedure

  1. Open two terminal windows.
  2. In one terminal window, run the following command to install the dependencies for your plugin using yarn.

    $ yarn install
  3. After installing, run the following command to start yarn.

    $ yarn run start
  4. In another terminal window, login to the OpenShift Container Platform through the CLI.

    $ oc login
  5. Run the OpenShift Container Platform web console in a container connected to the cluster you have logged into by running the following command:

    $ yarn run start-console
    Note

    The yarn run start-console command runs an amd64 image and might fail when run with Apple Silicon and Podman. You can work around it with qemu-user-static by running the following commands:

    $ podman machine ssh
    $ sudo -i
    $ rpm-ostree install qemu-user-static
    $ systemctl reboot

Verification

  • Visit localhost:9000 to view the running plugin. Inspect the value of window.SERVER_FLAGS.consolePlugins to see the list of plugins which load at runtime.

7.3. Deploy your plugin on a cluster

You can deploy the plugin to a OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

7.3.1. Build an image with Docker

To deploy your plugin on a cluster, you need to build an image and push it to an image registry first.

Procedure

  1. Build the image with the following command:

    $ docker build -t quay.io/my-repositroy/my-plugin:latest .
  2. Optional: If you want to test your image, run the following command:

    $ docker run -it --rm -d -p 9001:80 quay.io/my-repository/my-plugin:latest
  3. Push the image by running the following command:

    $ docker push quay.io/my-repository/my-plugin:latest

7.3.2. Deploy your plugin on a cluster

After pushing an image with your changes to a registry, you can deploy the plugin to a cluster using a Helm chart.

Prerequisites

  • You must have the location of the image containing the plugin that was previously pushed.

    Note

    You can specify additional parameters based on the needs of your plugin. The values.yaml file provides a full set of supported parameters.

Procedure

  1. To deploy your plugin to a cluster, install a Helm chart with the name of the plugin as the Helm release name into a new namespace or an existing namespace as specified by the -n command-line option. Provide the location of the image within the plugin.image parameter by using the following command:

    $ helm upgrade -i  my-plugin charts/openshift-console-plugin -n my-plugin-namespace --create-namespace --set plugin.image=my-plugin-image-location

    Where:

    n <my-plugin-namespace>
    Specifies an existing namespace to deploy your plugin into.
    --create-namespace
    Optional: If deploying to a new namespace, use this parameter.
    --set plugin.image=my-plugin-image-location
    Specifies the location of the image within the plugin.image parameter.
    Note

    If you are deploying on OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 and later, it is recommended to exclude configurations related to pod security by adding the parameter --set plugin.securityContext.enabled=false.

  2. Optional: You can specify any additional parameters by using the set of supported parameters in the charts/openshift-console-plugin/values.yaml file.

    plugin:
      name: ""
      description: ""

          resources:
            requests:
              cpu: 10m
              memory: 50Mi

Verification

  • View the list of enabled plugins by navigating from AdministrationCluster SettingsConfigurationConsole operator.openshift.ioConsole plugins or by visiting the Overview page.
Note

It can take a few minutes for the new plugin configuration to appear. If you do not see your plugin, you might need to refresh your browser if the plugin was recently enabled. If you receive any errors at runtime, check the JS console in browser developer tools to look for any errors in your plugin code.

7.3.3. Plugin service proxy

If you need to make HTTP requests to an in-cluster service from your plugin, you can declare a service proxy in its ConsolePlugin resource by using the spec.proxy array field. The console backend exposes the /api/proxy/plugin/<plugin-name>/<proxy-alias>/<request-path>?<optional-query-parameters> endpoint to proxy the communication between the plugin and the service. A proxied request uses a service CA bundle by default. The service must use HTTPS.

Note

The plugin must use the consolefetch API to make requests from its JavaScript code or some requests might fail. For more information, see "Dynamic plugin API".

For each entry, you must specify an endpoint and alias of the proxy under the endpoint and alias fields. For the Service proxy type, you must set the endpoint type field to Service and the service must include values for the name, namespace, and port fields. For example, /api/proxy/plugin/helm/helm-charts/releases?limit=10 is a proxy request path from the helm plugin with a helm-charts service that lists ten helm releases.

Example service proxy

apiVersion: console.openshift.io/v1
kind: ConsolePlugin
metadata:
  name:<plugin-name>
spec:
  proxy:
  - alias: helm-charts 1
    authorization: UserToken 2
    caCertificate: '-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIID....'en 3
    endpoint: 4
      service:
        name: <service-name>
        namespace: <service-namespace>
        port: <service-port>
      type: Service

1
Alias of the proxy.
2
If the service proxy request must contain the logged-in user’s OpenShift Container Platform access token, you must set the authorization field to UserToken.
Note

If the service proxy request does not contain the logged-in user’s OpenShift Container Platform access token, set the authorization field to None.

3
If the service uses a custom service CA, the caCertificate field must contain the certificate bundle.
4
Endpoint of the proxy.

7.3.4. Disabling your plugin in the browser

Console users can use the disable-plugins query parameter to disable specific or all dynamic plugins that would normally get loaded at run-time.

Procedure

  • To disable a specific plugin(s), remove the plugin you want to disable from the comma-separated list of plugin names.
  • To disable all plugins, leave an empty string in the disable-plugins query parameter.
Note

Cluster administrators can disable plugins in the Cluster Settings page of the web console.

7.3.5. Additional resources

7.4. Dynamic plugin example

Before working through the example, verify that the plugin is working by following the steps in Dynamic plugin development

7.4.1. Adding a tab to the pods page

There are different customizations you can make to the OpenShift Container Platform web console. The following procedure adds a tab to the Pod details page as an example extension to your plugin.

Note

The OpenShift Container Platform web console runs in a container connected to the cluster you have logged into. See "Dynamic plugin development" for information to test the plugin before creating your own.

Procedure

  1. Visit the console-plugin-template repository containing a template for creating plugins in a new tab.

    Important

    Custom plugin code is not supported by Red Hat. Only Cooperative community support is available for your plugin.

  2. Create a GitHub repository for the template by clicking Use this templateCreate new repository.
  3. Rename the new repository with the name of your plugin.
  4. Clone the new repository to your local machine so you can edit the code.
  5. Edit the package.json file, adding your plugin’s metadata to the consolePlugin declaration. For example:

    "consolePlugin": {
      "name": "my-plugin", 1
      "version": "0.0.1", 2
      "displayName": "My Plugin", 3
      "description": "Enjoy this shiny, new console plugin!", 4
      "exposedModules": {
        "ExamplePage": "./components/ExamplePage"
      },
      "dependencies": {
        "@console/pluginAPI": "/*"
      }
    }
    1
    Update the name of your plugin.
    2
    Update the version.
    3
    Update the display name for your plugin.
    4
    Update the description with a synopsis about your plugin.
  6. Add the following to the console-extensions.json file:

    {
      "type": "console.tab/horizontalNav",
      "properties": {
        "page": {
          "name": "Example Tab",
          "href": "example"
        },
        "model": {
          "group": "core",
          "version": "v1",
          "kind": "Pod"
        },
        "component": { "$codeRef": "ExampleTab" }
      }
    }
  7. Edit the package.json file to include the following changes:

            "exposedModules": {
                "ExamplePage": "./components/ExamplePage",
                "ExampleTab": "./components/ExampleTab"
            }
  8. Write a message to display on a new custom tab on the Pods page by creating a new file src/components/ExampleTab.tsx and adding the following script:

    import * as React from 'react';
    
    export default function ExampleTab() {
        return (
            <p>This is a custom tab added to a resource using a dynamic plugin.</p>
        );
    }
  9. Install a Helm chart with the name of the plugin as the Helm release name into a new namespace or an existing namespace as specified by the -n command-line option to deploy your plugin on a cluster. Provide the location of the image within the plugin.image parameter by using the following command:

    $ helm upgrade -i  my-plugin charts/openshift-console-plugin -n my-plugin-namespace --create-namespace --set plugin.image=my-plugin-image-location
    Note

    For more information on deploying your plugin on a cluster, see "Deploy your plugin on a cluster".

Verification

  • Visit a Pod page to view the added tab.
