Accessing your console The Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes web console is integrated with the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform web console as a console plug-in. You can access Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management within the OpenShift Container Platform console from the cluster switcher by selecting All Clusters . The cluster switcher is a drop-down menu that initially displays local-cluster . Select local-cluster when you want to use OpenShift Container Platform console features on the cluster where you installed Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management. Select All Clusters when you want to use Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management features to manage your fleet of clusters. If the cluster switcher is not present, the required console plug-ins might not be enabled. For new installations, the console plug-ins are enabled by default. If you upgraded from a version of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management and want to enable the plug-ins, or if you want to disable the plug-ins, complete the following steps: To disable the plug-in, be sure you are in the Administrator perspective in the OpenShift Container Platform console. Find Administration in the navigation and click Cluster Settings , then click the Configuration tab. From the list of Configuration resources , click the Console resource with the operator.openshift.io API group, which contains cluster-wide configuration for the web console. Select the Console plug-ins tab. Both the acm and mce plug-ins are listed. Modify plug-in status from the table. In a few moments, you are prompted to refresh the console. Note: To enable and disable the console, see MultiClusterHub advanced for information. To learn more about the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes console, see Console overview .
