Node overview

Live

What a node is, what the agent does, and what node health means in StackShift.

Goal

Understand nodes as runtime machines with operational state, not just a list in the UI.

Current status

Live

This area is documented as current, user-reliable behavior.

Workflow

  1. 1Treat node health as a scheduling input.
  2. 2Treat the agent version as part of the node runtime contract.
  3. 3Use maintenance before disruptive node changes.

What the node page surfaces

  • Health, agent version state, and last update timing
  • CPU, memory, disk, Docker, and Caddy readiness signals
  • Recovery-state details when a tracked node-side workflow is in trouble

Expected result

You understand how StackShift reasons about node readiness and workload placement.
