Upgrade the NetStacks Controller with upgrade.sh or Docker Compose, roll back, and back up or restore the database from the admin console.

Run several NetStacks Controller API instances behind the built-in load balancer with the HA Docker Compose file, scale them, check HA status, and upgrade an HA deployment.

Activate a NetStacks Controller license key, understand seats and license status, and see which engineers are using seats.

Find your way around the NetStacks Controller admin console: the dashboard cards and panels, layout editing, the header, global search and the connection-status popover.

Monitor NetStacks Controller containers, plugins and discovery jobs, restart services from the admin console, view deployment information, and manage user jumpbox containers.

Create NetStacks Controller user accounts, assign roles, reset passwords, and remove users from the admin console.

Create NetStacks Controller roles, choose permissions in the role editor, and understand the built-in admin, operator, viewer and platform-admin roles.

Host several teams or customers on one NetStacks Controller with organizations: create tenants, switch between them, move users, and know what is shared platform-wide.

How users sign in to the NetStacks Controller admin console and NetStacks Terminal, session lifetimes, failed-login limits, JWT secret rotation, and login-password profile seeding.

Reference for every category on the NetStacks Controller Settings page: general, authentication, security, TLS, terminal sessions, HA, collection, jumpboxes, discovery, AI, token budget, AI data security, plugins and integrations.

Monitor active SSH sessions brokered by the NetStacks Controller, create share links, and terminate or take over a session.

Review security events in the NetStacks Controller audit log: sign-ins, user and role changes, secret reveals, session actions, certificate minting and backups.

Follow every operation on the NetStacks Controller in one place: MOP runs, deployments, config snapshots, scheduled tasks, SSH sessions, AI agents, scripts and discovery jobs.
