Health States
The Control Center tracks two independent health dimensions: the Orkestra runtime itself, and the CRDs it manages.
Runtime Health
Runtime Health reflects whether the Orkestra process is reachable and operating normally.
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operational | Runtime is running and serving requests |
| Degraded | Runtime is unreachable or has internal errors |
Katalog Health
Katalog Health reflects whether the CRDs within a Katalog are reconciling correctly.
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Healthy | All CRDs are reconciling without errors |
| Degraded | One or more CRDs have persistent failures |
CRD States
Each CRD card shows one of four states:
| State | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Healthy | Green | Fully operational, no errors |
| Started | Blue | Running but may have initial reconcile errors |
| Pending | Yellow | Waiting — dependencies not ready or CRD not yet applied |
| Degraded | Red | Persistent failures, needs attention |
Why Runtime and Katalog Health Can Differ
Runtime Operational + Katalog Degraded is the normal failure case. The runtime is fine — the problem is in your CRD templates or the resources they create.
Runtime Degraded means the Orkestra process itself has a problem: check the deployment, network, or leader election.
Queue Pressure
Queue depth is shown as a progress bar on each CRD card:
| Fill | Meaning |
|---|---|
| < 50% | Normal |
| 50–80% | Moderate — watch it |
| > 80% | High — consider increasing workers for this CRD |
