3.5. Viewing Operator status
Understanding the state of the system in Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) is important for making decisions about and debugging problems with installed Operators. OLM provides insight into subscriptions and related catalog sources regarding their state and actions performed. This helps users better understand the healthiness of their Operators.
3.5.1. Operator subscription condition types
Subscriptions can report the following condition types:
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
|
| Some or all of the catalog sources to be used in resolution are unhealthy. |
|
| An install plan for a subscription is missing. |
|
| An install plan for a subscription is pending installation. |
|
| An install plan for a subscription has failed. |
Default OpenShift Container Platform cluster Operators are managed by the Cluster Version Operator (CVO) and they do not have a Subscription object. Application Operators are managed by Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) and they have a Subscription object.
3.5.2. Viewing Operator subscription status using the CLI
