W'xOps Portal v0.5.1 — Observability Completion

Xeus Nguyen
Platform Engineer

v0.5.0 gave the portal eyes on the cluster: live ArgoCD and Crossplane status, one-click Grafana links, active alerts. What it couldn't tell you was how a service was actually performing — those Grafana links pointed at cAdvisor CPU and memory, not application data, because nothing in the platform emitted a real metric. v0.5.1 closes that gap.

This is also the first release that isn't portal-only. It spans wxops-templates, wxops-core, wxops-gitops-infrastructure, and this repo, in a hard dependency order — the portal's Monitoring toggle only does something once the other three are deployed too.

W'xOps Portal v0.5.0 — Runtime Observability

Xeus Nguyen
Platform Engineer

The portal has always known what should be deployed — the overlay in Git, the image tag written back by Image Updater. It could not tell you what is running. v0.5.0 closes that loop: intended state from Git, observed state from the cluster, and one click into the signal that explains the difference.

Everything here is read with your own Kubernetes credentials. A user who cannot kubectl get application cannot see it in the portal either.
