Control Plane tour

The Control Plane is the Gluesync web application. Use it to build pipelines, operate replication, query connected systems, schedule work, monitor health, and administer the deployment.

Open the HTTPS address configured during installation. Direct installations without a reverse proxy commonly use http://<host>:1717.

First sign-in

The initial local account is admin with password admin. The Control Plane requires a password change on first sign-in.

Change the default password before exposing the Control Plane outside a trusted network. For production identity and role setup, see User management and RBAC and OIDC authentication.

Main navigation

The left rail changes with your permissions and the components connected to Core Hub.

Item What you do there Start with

Pipelines

Create pipelines; configure source and target connectors; select entities; start CDC or snapshots; inspect status and throughput.

Pipelines

Schedules

Run pipeline, entity, snapshot, and Query Studio actions on a schedule or in response to events.

Schedules and events

Monitor in the Control Plane

Modules Manager

Query Studio

Query Forge

Query Forge

Automator

Back up, restore, duplicate, or bulk-create pipeline configuration through a guided interface.

Automator

An item may be absent because your role cannot use it, no pipeline exists yet, or its supporting component is not connected. This is expected; it does not necessarily indicate an installation problem.

Work in Pipelines

The Pipelines screen is the default landing page.

  1. Select a pipeline in the list.

  2. Read its status before taking action:

    • Active — the pipeline is available and at least one entity may be replicating.

    • Draft — source or target configuration is incomplete.

    • In maintenance — agents are disconnected while configuration or maintenance work is performed.

    • On warm-up — Core Hub is reconnecting the pipeline and loading its state.

    • On error — a connector or entity needs attention.

  3. Use the entity list to select one or more entities.

  4. Choose Start CDC, Snapshot, Pause, or another available action.

  5. Open an entity to inspect its configuration and detailed metrics.

For the difference between pipeline health and entity replication state, and for recovery steps, see Pipeline states and error recovery.

Header controls

The header provides controls that apply beyond the current screen:

  • Platform updates — review and install available service updates.

  • Notifications — open recent errors, warnings, and informational events.

  • Documentation, Support, and Roadmap — open the corresponding resources.

  • User menu — open Settings or sign out.

See Settings and account for a map of every settings tab.
