# Core Scanner

http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/core-scanner/ Mon, 25 Aug 2025 12:34:24 -0600 http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/core-scanner/ <p>Core Scanner is a utility to examine and manage each Core on a given installation of Federated Core Platform. It allows a customer service person to examine the Core, look at all the configuration files, see any anomalies in the files, track usage of resources (CPU, RAM, storage, network), and perform tightly managed actions on the Core to take remedial steps as needed.</p> <p>Each installation of Core Scanner includes user and group priveleges so that the owner of the Federated Core Platform can look at all Cores running, but also partners can examine and manage the Cores of their customers. For example, a managed service provider may have a number of Cores for which they will want to be able to provide monitor and fix service3. Core Scanner allows them to see those Cores, only.</p>

# Update and Upgrade

http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/update-and-upgrade/ Mon, 25 Aug 2025 12:36:19 -0600 http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/update-and-upgrade/ <p>Each Federated Core Platform installation has a Gitea respository where the software (OS, utilities, platform, open source SaaS) for the entire system is tracked. The operator of each installation is able to package those updates into regular upgrades pushed out to some/all Cores on the system, push them out individually for testing to some Cores, or schedule updates for a given list of Cores.</p> <p>Since the nature of the Federated Core Platform is delivering open source SaaS to customers, there needs to be a testing protocol set up to ensure updates are in fact needed/wanted. Federated Computer does this centrally, so operators using Federated Core Platform can know the software will &ldquo;work&rdquo;. However, there may be additional concerns with respect to security, other customizations that need to be tested, etc.</p>

# Monitor and Fix

http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/monitor-and-fix/ Mon, 25 Aug 2025 12:35:43 -0600 http://localhost:1313/docs/federated-core-platform/management/monitor-and-fix/ <p>Every Core running on an installation of Federated Core Platform, every application running on every Core, and every service not an application running on every Core, is monitored in real time to ensure it runs, has the system resources needed, and provides customers with the best experience. If there are anomalies detected, alerts are created and can be sent to the local Matrix server, and Federated Monitor and Fix system attempts to solve the problem using patterns and the service definitions in place.</p>
