Managing Your Apps
Installing Apps
Apps of the Saagie catalog can be found in the official Saagie repository and other custom repositories in your Technology Catalog. Custom apps, however, are not located in a repository: they are based on a Docker image. You can add and managed custom apps according to our Software Development Kit (SDK). |

From the
Overview page, click the desired setting to edit it:
Names are mandatory, with a maximum of 255 characters, and unique within a project.
Descriptions are optional and have no restrictions, but it is a good practice to keep them short and informative.
Click the switch in the side panel of the setting to enable or disable it. Alerts are optional and can be set to receive an email when the status of your app changes. They can be sent to multiple email addresses to notify you of the following status changes:
-
Starting
: the app’s run has been requested and is being executed. -
Started
: the app is up and running. -
Rolling back
: the app is rolling back to a requested version. -
Upgrading
: the application has been updated and is upgrading. -
Recovering
: the app has restarted itself and is doing so. -
Restarting
: the app is restarting. -
Stopping
: the app is stopping. -
Stopped
: the app has stopped running. -
Failed
: the app has crashed. A failed app can go into anOut Of Memory
(OOM) state, which is an extension of theFailed
state. The OOM state can be due to a lack of memory (RAM).
Click the switch in the side panel of the setting to enable or disable it. CPU and RAM resources are optional and can be specified for optimal execution.
The consumption of your app can be managed by guaranteed resources, that is, the minimum amount of resource requested, and limited resources, that is, the maximum amount of resource that can be consumed.
This works the same way for CPU and RAM resources, except that for RAM you can choose between GB and MB units of measure. By default, app resource management is disabled because decisions about resource requests and limits are difficult to make without historical data about resource usage patterns of apps.
Except for specific requirements, you may not enable this feature and let Saagie automatically assign the appropriate resource requests and limits for your app. Automatic adjustments can be made to avoid inconsistent configurations. If you try to set a guaranteed value greater than the limit value or, similarly, if you try to set a limit value smaller than the guaranteed value, a note appears to inform you that, depending on the situation, the guaranteed value, or the limit value has been adjusted (a).
Besides, when the guaranteed value, and the limit value are not optimal, a recommendation notification appears with the appropriate values for an optimal configuration (b).
Modifying CPU and RAM resources automatically restarts your app. -
-
Saving is automatic. You can just press Enter to validate the app name change, click anywhere nearby to confirm the description change, and close de side panel to validate the email alert and resource changes.
