    Enabling PostgreSQL UI Feature Gate

    After installing the PostgreSQL operator, you need to enable the PostgreSQL UI feature gate to access the PostgreSQL management interface in the web console.

    Prerequisites

    • Platform administrator privileges
    • PostgreSQL operator installed on the target cluster

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to the Feature Gate page:

      • Access the feature gate configuration at {platform-access-address}/console-platform/feature-gate
      • For example, if your platform access address is https://demo.example.com/console-portal/, the feature gate page would be https://demo.example.com/console-platform/feature-gate

    2. Enable the PostgreSQL UI feature gates:

      Feature GateStageDescription
      middleware-rds-postgresqlAlphaProvide the capability to manage PostgreSQL (UI)
      middleware-rds-postgresql-backupAlphaProvide the capability to perform backup and restore operations for PostgreSQL (UI)

    3. In the System Settings section, locate the following feature gates and enable them:

      • middleware-rds-postgresql
      • middleware-rds-postgresql-backup (optional, for backup/restore UI)

    4. The feature gate changes take effect immediately. You can now access the PostgreSQL management UI from the navigation bar.
