Table of Contents
These sections provide information about common tasks that users and administrators may need to perform to manage SD Elements.
Retrieve Default Helm Chart Values
Whereas the Chart Files reference page provides more common chart configurations and their defaults, the SD Elements Helm chart’s default values file provides a more complete list of values that may be configured.
The helm show values command will print a Helm chart’s default values file to the console. See the Helm Docs Helm Show Values page for usage instructions.
Append > {filename}.yaml to save these values to a file on the client’s filesystem.

In the example below, the default values for the specified SD Elements version is saved to the user’s file system in the current directory.
Retrieve Superuser Credentials for an Existing Instance
Retrieve the superuser’s credentials from an existing instance using the command below.
# Superuser password
$ kubectl get secrets {RELEASE_NAME}-sde-secrets -n {NAMESPACE} --output jsonpath='{.data.SDE_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD}' | base64 -dSoft Maintenance Mode
Soft Maintenance Mode restricts access to SD Elements during maintenance activities. When enabled, the login page is redirected to a soft error page notifying that scheduled maintenance is taking place. This will allow these administrators to complete maintenance without concern for data integrity being compromised or users contacting internal support teams. Users included in the whitelist can access SD Elements regardless. Follow the steps below to configure worker pods for whitelisted users and enable Soft Maintenance Mode.
