Control
The Control tab gives you full authority over the lifecycle of your deployed application. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, recovering from an issue, or testing changes, this tab is your command center for starting, stopping, pausing, redeploying, or removing the app.
How To Access
Applications → Management → Manage App → Control
Open the Management tab in the Applications menu, select an application from My Active Apps, click Manage, then go to the Local App Management section and open the Control tab.
Backend Selector
At the top right you'll find a FluxNode IP selector, letting you choose which node you want to inspect or control. This allows you to manage individual node instances of your app. A reload button is also available to refresh the list of currently active FluxNodes running your application.
Overview of Application Control
First, select the type of application control you want to use. The available options determine which control or monitoring tools you can access.
Manual Control: Manage the application on one, several, or all servers by selecting specific IP addresses to control.
Local Control: Manage the application on a single server level, based on the IP you selected in the backend selector at the header.
Global Control: Manage the application on a global level, affecting all server instances running your application. Any action performed here applies to every server.
Control
General options to control running status of Application.
Start Application
Launches the application if it's currently stopped.
Stop Application
Gracefully stops the running application and terminates its processes.
Restart Application
Stops and immediately starts the app again — useful for applying configuration changes or recovering from temporary issues.
Pause Application
Suspends all active processes within the app without shutting it down. This is like hitting a “pause button” on execution.
Unpause Application
Resumes previously paused processes and returns the app to its active running state.
Remove Application
Uninstalls the app and deletes all associated data from the current selected FluxNode running the application. This will result in the app being deployed on a different FluxNode.
Soft Reinstall
Restarts the app while preserving persistent data. Ideal for safe updates or config changes.
Hard Reinstall
Wipes persistent data and redeploys the app from scratch. Use with caution — this is best for full resets or destructive testing.
Pro tip: Always use Soft Redeploy unless you intentionally want to delete stored application state.
Monitoring
Controls Application Monitoring.
Start Monitoring
Start the monitoring process.
Stop Monitoring
Stop the monitoring process.
Stop & Delete Data
Stop monitoring process, and delete all history data.
