FAQPage Schema

How do I verify system capabilities before deploying a new instance?▼

Verifying system capabilities involves probing the runtime environment to ensure components like git, scheduling, hooks, and script execution are present and functional. This preflight check records the verified system capabilities in a configuration file to confirm readiness before deployment.

What does runtime verification check for in a configuration management environment?▼

Runtime verification checks the presence and functionality of essential system components such as git, scheduling, hooks, script execution, plugin root, and connectors. It probes these system capabilities to ensure the runtime environment is fully operational and correctly configured.

How do I record system capabilities and configuration updates automatically?▼

Recording system capabilities involves running a preflight verification script that probes runtime components. The script automatically writes the verified system capabilities and configuration results into a markdown configuration file, keeping your configuration updates documented and accurate.

Can I use script execution to test hooks and scheduling functionality?▼

Script execution is used to test hooks and scheduling functionality during runtime verification. By executing targeted scripts, the system probes and validates whether the scheduling and hooks components are present and functioning correctly within the environment.

Does runtime verification require git to check plugin root and connectors?▼

Runtime verification checks git alongside the plugin root and connectors to ensure all system capabilities are present. It probes git functionality specifically while also independently verifying the availability and operation of plugin root and connector components within the system.
