Individual jobs can be run in a notebook or workflow, but to collaborate on jobs, it helps to be able to see everything that's running on a given database. * History: See what has run in the past and diagnose any problems with your jobs. * Shared resources: The console stores definitions of clusters and manifests, so you can easily tell what resources you want to use to run your job. ## Getting Started The Geneva console is installed with the Geneva Helm chart; [contact LanceDB](https://lancedb.com/contact/) for access to the Helm chart. 1. Install or upgrade the Geneva Helm chart (see [Helm Deployment](/geneva/deployment/helm/)). 2. In your web browser, connect to the Geneva Console UI using the external ingress/load balancer URI configured in your deployment. 3. **Backup (no external ingress):** if your deployment doesn't expose the console via ingress or a load balancer, forward port 3000 from the `geneva-console-ui` service and open `http://localhost:3000`: ```bash theme={null} kubectl port-forward -n lancedb svc/geneva-console-ui 3000:3000 ``` (Use `-n` to specify the namespace you installed the Helm chart into. We advise `lancedb`.) 4\. When prompted, enter your bucket and database, like: ``` s3://my-bucket/my-db ``` ## What's in the Console? ### Jobs Overview The heart of the console is an overview of all jobs that are running on a given database. See each job's status, progress, timing, and initiator. ### Job Details Click on a job's ID to get more details, especially events that have happened in a job's life cycle, and metrics such as number of workers, rows, and fragments written. ### Clusters See the Geneva clusters that you have defined to run jobs. Because clusters can be reused by name, this view can help you run a new job with the same resource constraints as a previous job. ### Manifests See the Manifests you've defined and what packages/dependencies they contain. As with clusters, manifests are reusable, so it's easy to start a new job with the same dependencies as an old one by just specifying the manifest name. ## API Reference * [Connection](https://lancedb.github.io/geneva/api/connection/) — `get_job()`, `list_jobs()`, `list_clusters()`, `list_manifests()` * [Cluster](https://lancedb.github.io/geneva/api/cluster/) — `GenevaCluster` and cluster configuration classes * [Manifest](https://lancedb.github.io/geneva/api/manifest/) — `GenevaManifest` and manifest builder classes
