FastEdge management

In the Gcore Admin Panel, you can manage two types of FastEdge applications and their corresponding templates:

• HTTP applications: Manage your cloud applications deployed on edge servers across the global Gcore CDN network.

• CDN applications: Manage FastEdge applications integrated with Gcore CDN infrastructure to extend the CDN functionality.

Manage FastEdge applications

The HTTP Applications and CDN Applications pages contain information about all FastEdge apps created and used by your customers.

You can save the preferred filters and columns displayed in the applications and templates tables. For instructions on how to configure and save presets, check out the Search presets section.

Filter data in the applications table

You can filter application data based on the following criteria:

• Client ID. A unique identifier for the customer account where the application was created.

• Status. The current state of the application:

  • Active: The application is up and running.

  • Disabled: The application is stopped.

• Template ID. A unique identifier for the template used to create the application. If this column is empty, it indicates that the application was created without a template.

• Binary ID. A unique identifier for the binary file from which the application was created. Useful for distinguishing different versions of an app built from the same template.

• Plan: The subscription plan according to which the application is billed. This is typically determined by the customer’s plan.

To filter information in the table:

1. Click Add filter.

2. Specify the required criteria. For example, set the application status to Active.

3. Click Apply filter.

The table results will be updated accordingly, and you’ll see the list of all currently running applications.

Click Reset all to switch back to the default view.

Configure columns in the applications table

The applications table displays the following information about FastEdge apps:

• ID: A unique identifier for the application. This information can be useful for diagnostic purposes and troubleshooting. If you encounter issues with a specific app and require assistance from our support team, we recommend providing the app ID in your support request.

• Name: The application name specified in the Customer Portal during application creation.

• Upgradable: If the column shows Outdated, this means that the application was created from a template and is using an old version of the binary. In this case, it’s best to update the application to the newest version.

• URL (HTTP applications only): Link to the deployed HTTP application.

• Reseller: The ID of a reseller account where the application was created.

• Description: If your customer provided a description when creating the application in the Customer Portal, the description will appear in this column.

Stop or activate an application

2. Find the application that you want to manage and click the three-dot icon next to it.

3. Select the required action: Stop or Start.

The application status will be changed respectively, and the changes will also be reflected in the Customer Portal, where your customers can also stop or start the application.

Upgrade a binary version

Sometimes, you might see the Outdated status in the Upgradeable column. This status is only relevant to applications created from templates, and it means that the template has been updated.

If this happens, we recommend upgrading the application binary to the newest template version to get the latest improvements and security fixes:

1. Open the relevant page: HTTP Applications or CDN Applications.

2. Find the application that you want to update and click the three-dot icon next to it.

3. Click Upgrade binary version.

Your application’s binary has been upgraded to the latest version.
