Concepts

This section provides in-depth coverage of SPOG's core building blocks. Each guide explores a specific component of the system, explaining how it works and how to configure it for your needs.

These guides assume you've completed the Quickstart and have a basic understanding of SPOG's architecture.

In This Section

  • Labels & Filter Queries - Master SPOG's label system for organizing clusters and learn the GlassQL filter query syntax for selecting, grouping, and displaying clusters based on any combination of labels.

  • Dashboards & Playlists - Configure customizable views of your DNS infrastructure with widgets like tree tables, heatmaps, pie charts, and network topology graphs. Set up playlists for automated screen rotation on NOC displays.

  • Navigation Configuration - Build the Glass UI menu structure using the three-level hierarchy (menus, sections, items). Learn how navigation integrates with dashboards and permission-based visibility.

  • Authentication & Authorization - Understand SPOG's security model, JWT token structure, and OIDC integration. Write custom REGO policies for role-based and attribute-based access control.
