System Monitoring & Updates

Hefty provides visibility into system health, connection state, server logs, model download status, and software update management. This page covers how to monitor your Hefty instance and keep it up to date.

Connection Status

The connection state between the frontend and the Hefty backend is visible in the header via the user icon color. This gives you an at-a-glance view of your backend and authentication status:

StatusMeaning
GreenBackend connected and user is authenticated
Blue / animatedBackend is connecting in progress
YellowBackend connected but user is not authenticated
RedBackend is not reachable

When connected, the footer displays the server version number, so you can quickly verify which version of the backend you are running against.
