Helm

View and manage Helm releases deployed to your Kubernetes clusters directly from ops0.

What is Helm?

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes. A Helm release is a named deployment of a Helm chart into a cluster namespace. ops0 surfaces all releases across your connected clusters so you can inspect status, version, and values without running helm commands locally.

Viewing Releases

Navigate to Kubernetes → Helm on any connected cluster to see all installed releases.

Column	Description
Name	Release name
Namespace	Kubernetes namespace the release was installed into
Chart	Chart name and version (e.g. `nginx-ingress-4.7.0`)
App Version	Application version the chart deploys
Status	Current release status
Updated	Timestamp of the last install or upgrade

Release Statuses

Status	Meaning
deployed	Release installed successfully and running
pending-install	Installation in progress
pending-upgrade	Upgrade in progress
pending-rollback	Rollback in progress
failed	Last operation failed
superseded	Release has been replaced by a newer revision
uninstalling	Uninstall in progress

Release Detail

Click any release to see its full details.

Overview Tab

Chart name, version, and repository
App version
Current status and last updated time
Namespace
Revision history count

Values Tab

Shows the merged values used for this release — the effective configuration after chart defaults and any overrides applied at install/upgrade time.

Manifest Tab

The rendered Kubernetes YAML manifests that Helm generated from the chart templates and values. This is exactly what was applied to the cluster.

Revision History

Field	Description
Revision	Sequential revision number (starts at 1)
Updated	When this revision was applied
Status	Status of this revision
Chart	Chart version at this revision
Description	Operation performed (install, upgrade, rollback)

Namespaces

Helm releases are namespace-scoped. Use the namespace filter at the top of the releases list to focus on a specific namespace or view all namespaces at once.

Troubleshooting

Release Status: failed

Open the release detail and check the Manifest tab for resource errors. Cross-reference with the Events page for the same namespace to find the root cause (image pull errors, resource limits, missing secrets).

Release not showing

Helm releases are discovered from the cluster's Kubernetes secrets (where Helm stores release state). Ensure the cluster agent has permission to read secrets in all namespaces. Check the ClusterRole bound to the ops0 service account.

Values show as empty

Releases installed with --set flags only (no values file) may not expose all merged values. This is a Helm behavior — only values explicitly passed at install/upgrade time are stored in the release secret.
