Confirm OpenShift Dev Spaces is running

Confirm that OpenShift Dev Spaces is operational before you onboard users by checking the Operator pod, the CheCluster status, and the dashboard URL.

Before you begin

You have installed OpenShift Dev Spaces on an OpenShift cluster.
You have an active oc session with administrative permissions to the OpenShift cluster.

Procedure

Verify that the OpenShift Dev Spaces Operator pod is running:
```
oc get pods --all-namespaces -l app.kubernetes.io/component=devspaces-operator
```
Note:

On OpenShift, the Operator pod runs in the namespace where the Subscription was created (typically openshift-operators for a cluster-wide installation), not in openshift-devspaces.
Verify that the CheCluster custom resource reports no errors:
```
oc get checluster devspaces -n openshift-devspaces -o jsonpath='{.status.chePhase}'
```
The expected output is Active.

Retrieve the OpenShift Dev Spaces dashboard URL:

oc get checluster devspaces -n openshift-devspaces -o jsonpath='{.status.cheURL}'

Open the URL in a web browser and log in with your OpenShift credentials.

Results

The OpenShift Dev Spaces dashboard loads and displays the Create Workspace page.
