Maintenance Mode

By default, Cascade will automatically reload and resign the zone when necessary, but sometimes you might need a bit more control over that process. That is what “maintenance mode” is for. It blocks any operations on the zone, allowing the operator to inspect what’s going wrong.

Maintenance mode works per zone, allowing you to take control over a particular zone while the rest of the zones will be updated normally.

Note

Maintenance mode is a work in progress. We plan on allowing triggering certain operations manually via the CLI while maintenance mode is enabled in the future.

Toggling Maintenance Mode

Maintenance mode for a zone can be enabled from the CLI with the following command:

cascade zone maintenance enable <zone-name>

It can similarly be disabled with:

cascade zone maintenance disabled <zone-name>

You can check whether a zone is in maintenance mode by looking at the zone status of the zone in question. If it is in maintenance mode, then a warning will be shown at the bottom:

WARNING: This zone is in maintenance mode
  Cascade will not automatically start new loading and signing operations
  Run `cascade zone maintenance disable <zone-name>` to resume normal operation
