Azure: Verify Install and Log in to the UI
After you build the Konvoy cluster and you install Kommander, verify your installation. After the CLI successfully installs the components, it waits for all applications to be ready by default.
NOTE: If the Kommander installation fails or you wish to reconfigure applications, you can rerun the install command to retry the installation.
If you prefer the CLI to not wait for all applications to become ready, you can set the --wait=false
flag.
If you choose not to wait via the DKP CLI, you can check the status of the installation using the following command:
kubectl -n kommander wait --for condition=Ready helmreleases --all --timeout 15m
This will wait for each of the helm charts to reach their Ready
condition, eventually resulting in an output resembling below:

Failed HelmReleases
If an application fails to deploy, check the status of a HelmRelease
with:
kubectl -n kommander get helmrelease <HELMRELEASE_NAME>
If you find any HelmReleases
in a “broken” release state, such as “exhausted” or “another rollback/release in progress”, trigger a reconciliation of the HelmRelease
using the following commands:
kubectl -n kommander patch helmrelease <HELMRELEASE_NAME> --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/suspend", "value": true}]'
kubectl -n kommander patch helmrelease <HELMRELEASE_NAME> --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/suspend", "value": false}]'
By default, you can log in to the UI in Kommander with the credentials given using this command:
dkp open dashboard --kubeconfig=${CLUSTER_NAME}.conf
You can also retrieve your credentials at any time using the following command:
kubectl -n kommander get secret dkp-credentials -o go-template='Username: {{.data.username|base64decode}}{{ "\n"}}Password: {{.data.password|base64decode}}{{ "\n"}}'
You can also retrieve the URL used for accessing the UI using the following command:
kubectl -n kommander get svc kommander-traefik -o go-template='https://{{with index .status.loadBalancer.ingress 0}}{{or .hostname .ip}}{{end}}/dkp/kommander/dashboard{{ "\n"}}'
You should only use these static credentials to access the UI for configuring an external identity provider. Treat them as back up credentials rather than use them for normal access.
You rotate the password using the following command:
dkp experimental rotate dashboard-password
The output displays the new password:
Password: kqZ31lMBSCLcBjUKVwLJMQL2PxalipIzZw5Pjyw09wDqjWV3dz2wPSSBYi09JGJp
You can perform the following operations on Identity Providers:
Create an Identity Provider
Temporarily Disable an Identity Provider
Create Groups
Dashboard UI Functions
After installing Konvoy component and building a cluster as well as successfully installing Kommander and logging into the UI, you are now ready to customize configurations using the Day 2 Cluster Operations Management section of the documentation. The majority of this customization such as attaching clusters and deploying applications will take place in the dashboard or UI of DKP. The Day 2 section allows you to manage cluster operations and their application workloads to optimize your organization’s productivity.
Now you can create additional new clusters, or proceed to Day 2 Operations in the link.
