Manage Instances in Control Center

Control Center enables you to view the status of instances in your organization, and to perform appropriate actions against those instances, provided you have sufficient permissions.

When you log in to Control Center, you can see your organization, your realms, and your instances:

Instance types include:

  • First Party Instance
    • Primary Instance (PIG)ā€“Production, Staging, and Development
    • Secondary Instance (SIG)ā€“Sandbox
  • On-Demand Sandbox (ODS)ā€“Sandbox

When you view a realm, you see the aggregated statuses of the instances contained in the realm.

You can search for a specific instance by entering an instance name in the search field.

The following table describes the PIG and SIG statuses shown in Control Center:
