Cluster Management Portal
Mage Pro is split into two environments, the Cluster Manager, which supports keeping your clusters and schedulers turned on at all times, and a development environment. The Cluster Manager is where you can see consumption insights into your cluster, add and edit environment variables, and check out estimated pricing for the cluster.Add Cluster
Adding a new cluster to your environment is simple in Mage Pro. Just click the “Lanch new cluster” button, provide it a name, and then click “Create cluster.” Your new cluster will take a few minutes to spin up. Once complete you can open the cluster to your development environment or
Environment variables
Environment variables are key-value pairs stored in the operating system that can be accessed by applications running on that system. They provide a way to configure application behavior without changing code, which is particularly useful for:- Storing configuration settings
- Managing credentials securely (without hardcoding them)
- Controlling application behavior across different environments (development, testing, production)
- Navigate to the cluster management page
- Locate and click the blue “Edit / Add variables” button
- In the interface that appears, you can:
- Add new variables by specifying a name and value
- Edit existing variables by modifying their values
- Remove variables when they’re no longer needed
Add users to cluster manager
User management is a component of both the Mage Pro cluster manager and development environment. The cluster manager implements a simple permission system with only three distinct roles:- Admin - Full control to create and delete clusters, modify environment variables, and manage cluster operations (start/stop)
- Editor - Limited permissions to modify aspects of the cluster within already created clusters.
- Viewer - Read-only access to view cluster configuration and technical details
How to add or edit user roles:
Team administrators can manage access permissions for cluster members through the cluster manager interface. Here’s how to handle common user management tasks: Inviting new users- Navigate to the users page and click “Invite user”
- Enter the person’s email address in the popup box
- Select the appropriate permission level from the dropdown menu
- Click “Invite user” to send the invitation
- Find and click on the user’s row in the members list
- Click the “Actions” button to reveal options
- Choose “Remove user” to revoke access completely, or
- Select “Change role” to modify their permissions
- If changing roles, select the new role from the dropdown
- Confirm by clicking “Change role”
Monitor your costs and usage
Keeping track of your resource usage and expenses is straightforward with Mage Pro’s built-in monitoring tools. The insights dashboard gives you visibility into each cluster’s financial and performance metrics. Accessing Usage Metrics- Open your cluster by clicking its blue link in the “Clusters” column
- Select the “Insights” tab from the navigation menu
- The default view shows your estimated costs to date
- Toggle between views by clicking “Realtime cpu usage” or “Realtime memory usage” to check real-time resource utilization
