## Validator Overview

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

<table><thead><tr><th width="170">Column</th><th>Contents</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td>The validator's name.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Network</strong></td><td><code>DevNet</code>, <code>TestNet</code>, or <code>MainNet</code>, inferred from the Canton endpoints configured on the validator.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Party ID</strong></td><td>The validator's primary party, truncated, with a copy button.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Version</strong></td><td>The validator app version — the component's own <code>version</code>, or the validator's <code>spliceVersion</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Balance</strong></td><td>The validator's Canton Coin balance, to two decimal places. Shows <code>Loading…</code> until the Scan endpoint responds.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Participant</strong></td><td>Connection state: <code>Live</code>, <code>Disconnected</code>, <code>Initializing</code>, or <code>Not live</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Status</strong></td><td><code>Ready</code> or <code>Degraded</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Metrics</strong></td><td>Opens the participant dashboard in Grafana, in a new tab.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Logs</strong></td><td>Opens the participant's logs in Grafana, in a new tab.</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="info" %}
**`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.
{% endhint %}

## Actions

* **Click a row** to open that validator's detail view.
* **Metrics** and **Logs** open Grafana without navigating away from the console. See [Grafana Links](/catalyx-blockchain-manager/canton-network/version-2.0/console-guide-canton/grafana-dashboards.md).

## 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                          |

{% hint style="warning" %}
The console 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.catalyx.solutions/catalyx-blockchain-manager/canton-network/version-2.0/console-guide-canton/validators-list.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
