Access Red Hat Edge Manager from the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management console

Enable the flightctl-plugin dynamic plugin in the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform web console to access Edge management from the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management console.

Before you begin

  • The Red Hat Edge Manager Helm release is deployed and pods are running.
  • You can log in to the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform web console with a user who is allowed to manage dynamic plugins (typically cluster-admin).

Procedure

  1. Switch to the Administrator perspective. On recent Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform versions, the console might label this perspective Core Platform instead.
  2. Navigate to Administration Dynamic plugins.
  3. Locate flightctl-plugin in the list. The same entry might show a different display name (for example, Flight Control).
  4. Click Enable (or use the equivalent control) to turn the plugin on.
  5. Wait until the console reports that the plugin is loaded. Loading can take a short time.
  6. If the console prompts you to refresh, reload the page. Otherwise, refresh the browser window so the updated navigation appears.
  7. Switch to Fleet Management.
  8. Open the Edge Management entry to use the Red Hat Edge Manager web UI.
    Note

    If Edge does not appear in Fleet Management, verify the following:

    • global.enableMulticlusterExtensions is set to true or auto in your Helm values.
    • The Helm upgrade has finished successfully.
    • flightctl-plugin is enabled on Administration Dynamic plugins.
    • You refreshed the console.
