## Overview: The Cockpit for a Single Node

After selecting a node from the **Node List**, you arrive at the **Node Detail** page. Think of this as the command center or "cockpit" for that specific machine.

You'll come here when you need to move beyond a high-level overview and perform a deep-dive investigation or a specific management action. Whether you're troubleshooting a hardware alert, checking a component's exact part number, or remotely rebooting the node, this is where you'll find the right tool for the job.

## Which Tab Should I Use? A Quick Reference Guide

The **Node Detail** page is organized into six specialized tabs, each designed for specific tasks. Use this table as your quick navigation guide to find the right tool for your immediate needs.

## Important Concepts for Node Detail Management

### **Data Refresh Requirements**

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Manual Refresh Required**: Most tabs display snapshot data from page load. For real-time information, perform manual browser refresh (F5) to get latest BMC readings.
{% endhint %}

### **Permission-Based Functionality**

* **Configuration Changes**: Require POD Admin or Organization Admin role
* **Read-Only Access**: Available to all user roles for monitoring purposes
* **Operations Tab**: Completely restricted to Admin roles due to high-risk nature

### **BMC-Centric Management**

All Node Detail functions communicate directly with the server's BMC via Redfish protocol, providing:

* **Out-of-band Control**: Independent of OS status
* **Hardware-Level Access**: Direct component monitoring and control
* **Real-time Data**: Live sensor readings and event logging
