Start with the reference chain, not a search for every file mentioning an app:
1.`clusters/atlas/flux-system/kustomization.yaml` includes the platform and application Flux definitions.
2. A definition under `clusters/atlas/flux-system/platform/` or `applications/` names the folder Flux reconciles in `spec.path`.
3. That folder's `kustomization.yaml` lists the resources and patches actually included. A file elsewhere in the repository is not automatically deployed.
4. A `HelmRelease` selects a chart and its values; a `Deployment` or `StatefulSet` defines the workload directly.
For example, Grafana and metrics configuration starts at
`clusters/atlas/flux-system/platform/monitoring/kustomization.yaml`, which points
to `services/monitoring/`. Dashboard source is generated by
`scripts/render/dashboards_render_atlas.py`; edit the generator when changing
generated dashboards.
| Location | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `infrastructure/` | Shared platform components such as networking, storage and PostgreSQL |
| `services/<name>/` | Application resources, settings and any service-specific `NOTES.md` |
| `services/maintenance/` | In-cluster maintenance tool configuration, including Soteria, Metis and Ariadne |
| `scripts/ops/` | Operator commands; inspect the script and its documented options before use |
| `dockerfiles/` | Custom image definitions |
Ananke also runs outside Kubernetes on hosts. Its deployed host configuration
and version must be checked separately; this repository alone is not yet a
complete description of every host-side setting.
## First checks when something is wrong
Run these read-only commands on the existing administrative host:
```bash
kubectl get nodes -o wide
kubectl get deployments,statefulsets -A
kubectl get kustomizations.kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io -A
kubectl get helmreleases.helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io -A
```
For one affected service, inspect its namespace and warning events:
```bash
NS=monitoring
kubectl -n "$NS" get pods -o wide
kubectl -n "$NS" get events --field-selector type=Warning --sort-by=.lastTimestamp
kubectl -n "$NS" get pvc
```
`Pending` with scheduling errors usually points to capacity or placement;
`FailedMount` points to storage; `Running` without readiness points to the
application, its probe or a dependency. Use the specific evidence before
choosing a repair. Avoid starting with a cluster-wide restart or recovery script.
Start with [Cluster operations](docs/CLUSTER_OPERATIONS.md) for the daily checks,
