Applications
Configure Global Configurations first before creating an application or cloning an existing application.
Introduction
The Applications page helps you create and manage your microservices, and it majorly consists of the following:
Application Listing
You can view the app name, its status, environment, namespace, and many more upfront. The apps are segregated into: Devtron Apps, Helm Apps, ArgoCD Apps, and FluxCD Apps.
Create Button
You can use this to:
Other Options
There are additional options available for you:
Search and filters to make it easier for you to find applications.
Export CSV to download the data of Devtron apps (not supported for Helm apps and Argo CD apps).
Sync button to refresh the app listing.
View ArgoCD App Listing
Preface
In Argo CD, a user manages one dashboard for one ArgoCD instance. Therefore, with multiple ArgoCD instances, the process becomes cumbersome for the user to manage several dashboards.
With Devtron, you get an entire Argo CD app listing in one place. This listing includes:
Apps deployed using GitOps on Devtron
Other Argo CD apps present in your cluster
Advantages
Devtron also bridges the gap for ArgoCD users by providing additional features as follows:
Single-pane View: All Argo CD apps will show details such as their app status, environment, cluster, and namespace together in one dashboard.
Feature-rich Options: Clicking an Argo CD app will give you access to its logs, terminal, events, manifest, available resource kinds, pod restart log, and many more.
