## Cluster Admin/Ops

Test the functioning of the LogScale cluster:

1. Check the health of the cluster.

2. Test making cluster configuration changes. You can do this by various mean such as editing YAML, API, or using the GUI.

3. Test restarting the cluster. How you do this depends on the type of installation (bare metal, or using containers).

4. Test updating the LogScale software version of the cluster. There are different procedures for upgrading, depending on whether you are running LogScale in Docker, on bare-metal, or in Kubernetes.

5. Test if the cluster is still healthy even if a node is down.

6. Test the cluster remains healthy after taking one Kafka node down.

7. Test data onboarding/ingestion (parser).

8. Analyze your logs for errors, including systems logs, LogScale logs, and the Kafka logs.
