Getting to know the console

The Zero console lives at console.zero.nnumbers.com.br. It has two levels of navigation: the organization and the project.

The organization​

The organization is the global filter: it decides the meaning of every action. If you belong to more than one, the console asks which before opening anything.

At the organization level you find:

SectionWhat it shows
OverviewThe organization at a glance: projects, recent deployments, what needs attention
ProjectsThe project list, with address and the state of the latest deployment
DeploymentsEvery deployment in the organization, newest first
DomainsThe organization's custom domain zones
ActivityThe history of operations: deployments, rollbacks, cancellations
SettingsVariables and secrets at organization scope
UsersWho exists in the identity provider and each person's access to Zero — see Users and access

The project​

The project is the application. Entering a project replaces the entire side navigation: everything that hangs off it lives inside.

SectionWhat you do
OverviewCurrent state, address, latest deployment, shortcut to deploy
DeploymentsThe deployment in progress and the history, with detail and rollback
DomainsThe project's public address, changing the address, and how far it is confirmed
ServicesWhat is running, with type, replicas, and schedule
VariablesConfiguration the application reads, with inheritance in plain sight
SecretsSensitive values — they go in once and do not come out
SourceThe repository the project deploys from, the branch or tag, and the access token
Build and deployHow the image is built
RuntimeThe port, command, and health check applied
Scale and availabilityInstances, autoscaling, and the size of each instance: CPU and memory reserved, maximums, and observed usage
ObservabilityTraffic and consumption measured
LogsApplication output, build output, and the platform's narrative
SettingsName and project deletion
Where the "Service" layer is

A project with a single service shows that service directly, with no intermediate layer. The Services section gets content of its own when the project has more than one — a web service and a background process, for example. See Services.

The vocabulary on screen​

The console uses few words, and each one means exactly one thing.

WordMeaning
OrganizationThe tenant: the boundary of access, metering, and audit
ProjectThe application: it is what has an address, versions, and history
EnvironmentThe deployment target. Every project is born with Production
ServiceA unit that runs inside the project
DeploymentA deployment, with its state and its history

The word "application" does not appear as a separate object in the interface: the project is the application. The full glossary is in Glossary.

When a screen says something does not exist​

The console distinguishes six situations that are often collapsed into a single "no data":

What the screen saysWhat it meansWhat to do
ReadyThere is dataNothing
No dataThe path works and there was nothing to measureWait, widen the period, or generate traffic
Not configuredA step of yours is missingThe screen says which and where
DegradedThere was data and collection fell behindThe numbers are still valid; their age is the information
UnavailableThe capability exists in the product, not in this installationNothing on your part
Not available yetNothing produces that data todayNothing — and the screen promises no date

This distinction exists because each one leads to a different action. The list of what sits in each state today is in What exists today.
