Helm Chart Management
The Helm group in the Cluster UI sidebar gives you full visibility into your cluster’s Helm ecosystem. It has three pages — Releases, HelmRelease, and HelmChart — covering deployed releases, FluxCD-managed releases, and chart sources respectively.
Open the Helm Section
- Navigate to the Platform Console.
- Click on your imported cluster to open its Cluster Overview page.
- In the left sidebar, click Helm to expand it.
Releases
The Releases page lists all Helm v3 releases currently deployed in your cluster — everything installed via helm install, regardless of how it got there. This is the primary page to check what is running, what version is deployed, and whether the release is in a healthy state.
Use this page to get a quick overview of all deployed charts, check release status, or install a new chart using the + Install Chart button.
Lists every release with its Name, Namespace, Status (e.g. deployed, failed), Version, and Age. Use the Select All and All Namespaces dropdowns to filter the list.
HelmRelease
A HelmRelease is a FluxCD resource that declaratively manages a Helm chart installation. The Platform Console tracks every HelmRelease and shows its reconciliation state, so you can see whether a GitOps-driven installation or upgrade succeeded or is still in progress.
Use this page to check FluxCD-managed release health, spot failed reconciliations, or create a new HelmRelease from the UI.
Lists every HelmRelease with its Namespace, Age, Ready status, and a Status message showing the last Helm operation result. Click + Create HelmRelease to define a new one.
HelmChart
A HelmChart is a FluxCD resource that sources a specific chart and version from a HelmRepository. Each HelmRelease references a HelmChart behind the scenes. This page tells you which charts are being pulled, from where, and whether the source is reachable and up to date.
Use this page to verify chart versions in use, check that chart sources are resolving correctly, or create a new HelmChart resource.
Lists every HelmChart with its Namespace, Annotations, Age, Chart name, Version, Source Kind, Source Name, Ready state, and Status. Click + Create HelmChart to add a new chart source.
