About Cockroach

Control plane — access, monitoring, and evidence across the estate.

Actions affect real systems. Review each operation before authorizing it. Every mutation requires the existing server policy and a fresh passkey assertion.

Data handling

Views display authorized server evidence. Unavailable signals remain explicitly unavailable. Observation time and read time are distinct; a page refresh does not create a new probe observation.

Audit verification checks the server ledger. Grant application describes the owned host firewall; public-route and SSH-login proof are separate evidence. Private keys and recovery secrets are never included in these read views.

Using the control plane

  • Compose a grant using the current external source, selected hosts, duration, and operational reason.
  • Preview seals a pending operation. Authorization requires a fresh user-verified passkey within its single-use window.
  • Open a host or grant to inspect independent state, public endpoint, and available evidence.
  • Use Monitoring scope to select an environment before any consequential action. The aggregate is read only.
  • Consult the Monitoring guide for incident response, history, ownership, and collection boundaries.
  • Theme and navigation preferences change presentation only.
