Global Control

The Global Control tab gives you full authority over the lifecycle of your deployed application on a global level. 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 → Global App Management → Global Control

Open the Management tab in the Applications menu, select an application from My Active Apps, click Manage, then go to the Global App Management section and open the Global Control tab.


Overview Of Functions

Start / Stop / Restart

Action
Description

Start App

Launches the application if it's currently stopped.

Stop App

Gracefully stops the running application and terminates its processes.

Restart App

Stops and immediately starts the app again — useful for applying configuration changes or recovering from temporary issues.


Pause / Unpause

Action
Description

Pause App

Suspends all active processes within the app without shutting it down. This is like hitting a “pause button” on execution.

Unpause App

Resumes previously paused processes and returns the app to its active running state.


Redeploy

Action
Description

Soft Redeploy App

Restarts the app while preserving persistent data. Ideal for safe updates or config changes.

Hard Redeploy App

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.


Fresh Start?

Action
Description

Get New Instances

Uninstalls the app and deletes all associated data all FluxNodes running the application. This will result in the app being deployed on different FluxNodes.

Use this when you want to migrate this application from the current FluxNodes to a new ones.
