The instance status section shows critical health indicators for each instance, including master or controlled roles, and operational statuses. The status of the Kron PAM environment can be accessed here.

-
  There are two separate layers: The Controller and the controlled instances.
-
  The following information is available for each instance:                                                                                       
  - Instance name
  - Instance IP
  - The **master** identifier of the instance in question is the master.
    Running or Stopped instance status identifier.
  - One of three different status icons:
    - A green check mark if the system is completely healthy and there are no alarms.
    - A red exclamation point if the instance is running but some services are down, or some thresholds have been exceeded.
    -
      A red cross mark if the instance is down.

When an instance is selected, the rest of the screen will display that instance’s performance data.
