Core and workload operations

Use these recipes to move from estate orientation to a workload-scoped investigation or coordinated mission.

Prerequisites

  • Sign in and select only Azure connections and workloads you are authorized to inspect.
  • Product permissions vary by task: chat.use, workloads.read, workloads.write, missions.read, and missions.run.
  • Live checks require suitable Azure data-plane or control-plane read access; AI tasks require an active provider.

Route

Start at /dashboard, /chat, /workloads, or /mission-control.

How to choose a workflow

  1. Use Dashboard and Chat to orient, ask a focused question, or convene a Deep Investigation War Room.
  2. Use Workload fleet and manual creation to review the portfolio or define a known boundary.
  3. Use Autopilot discovery to survey a broad Azure scope and review proposed workload boundaries.
  4. Use Workload detail, groups, and overlaps to validate membership, compare related environments, and resolve duplicate attribution.
  5. Use Mission Control for a repeatable multi-system sweep.
  6. Use Proactive Support, Monitor, and Stats to choose a specialist area or inspect application summaries.

Expected result: The selected workflow matches the decision: orientation, investigation, scope definition, portfolio organization, or coordinated analysis.

Verification: Confirm the route, Azure connection, workload, data timestamp, and permissions before interpreting or changing application records.

Safety and rollback

Dashboard, Chat evidence gathering, discovery survey, and most analyses are read-oriented. Saving workloads and groups changes the application registry, not Azure. Normal workload deletion is recoverable from Trash; merge, purge, and empty-trash require extra care. Mission cancellation stops remaining orchestration but does not undo completed reads or generated records.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Resolution
A page is empty Check product permission, selected connection, workload existence, and whether a first scan is required.
Data looks old Open the owning feature and inspect freshness; do not treat Dashboard or fleet cache reads as live scans.
An action is unavailable Check the write/run permission and any Azure or AI capability required by that specific action.
