Validator Overview

The Validators list is the main working view for an operator running more than one validator. Every row is live — status, participant connection, and balance all refresh on their own.

Validator Overview

Above the table: n total, n ready, n issues. The issues figure turns amber when it is above zero.

Column	Contents
Name	The validator's name.
Network	DevNet, TestNet, or MainNet, inferred from the Canton endpoints configured on the validator.
Party ID	The validator's primary party, truncated, with a copy button.
Version	The validator app version — the component's own version, or the validator's spliceVersion.
Balance	The validator's Canton Coin balance, to two decimal places. Shows Loading… until the Scan endpoint responds.
Participant	Connection state: Live, Disconnected, Initializing, or Not live.
Status	Ready or Degraded.
Metrics	Opens the participant dashboard in Grafana, in a new tab.
Logs	Opens the participant's logs in Grafana, in a new tab.

Status and Participant answer different questions. Status is about Kubernetes: are all the workloads running? Participant is about Canton: is the node initialised and talking to the synchronizer? A validator can show Ready and Disconnected at the same time — every pod is healthy, but the node has lost its synchronizer connection. That combination is the one worth looking into first.

Actions

• Click a row to open that validator's detail view.

• Metrics and Logs open Grafana without navigating away from the UI. See Grafana Links.

Empty and error states

Situation	What you see
No validators exist	No validators found — No Canton validators are deployed in this cluster.
The list could not be loaded	Failed to load validators, with the error message

The UI only sees validators in the namespace the API is configured to watch. A validator applied to a different namespace will not appear here, and is not being reconciled by the platform either.
