# Validators

### Validator Overview

Each validator node managed in the current environment is displayed as a row with some key details and indicators.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/MVmZ7bWnYOfXgxdATsmO" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

| Column           | Description                                                                                          |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**         | The name of the validator node.                                                                      |
| **Status**       | Current readiness status of the validator components.                                                |
| **Applications** | Number of applications ready out of the total deployed on this validator (e.g. `4 / 4 ready`).       |
| **Network**      | The Canton Network environment this validator is connected to (e.g. `DevNet`). Displayed as a badge. |
| **Party Hint**   | The human-readable party identifier for this validator. A copy icon allows copying the value.        |
| **Version**      | The deployed version of the validator software (e.g. `v0.5.18`).                                     |

{% hint style="info" %}
At the top of the validator table, a summary bar shows aggregate counts for the current environment:

* total: total number of validators configured.
* ready: number of validators with a Ready status.
* issues: number of validators with a non-Ready status requiring attention.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
\[TODO: document status values and what they indicate — e.g. In Progress, Failing, or any other states visible in production environments]
{% endhint %}

Click the **>** arrow at the right of any row, or click the row itself, to open the **validator detail/ management** view.

### Validator Details

Clicking on any validator from the Validators list opens the **validator detail view**. This view has its own secondary navigation panel with sections grouped into four categories.
