Confirm Che is running

Confirm that Che is operational before onboarding users by checking the Operator pod, the CheCluster status, and the dashboard URL.

Prerequisites

You have installed Che on an Kubernetes cluster.
You have an active kubectl session with administrative permissions to the Kubernetes cluster.

Procedure

Verify that the Che Operator pod is running:
```
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l app.kubernetes.io/component=che-operator
```
On Kubernetes, the Operator pod runs in the namespace where the Subscription was created (typically openshift-operators for a cluster-wide installation), not in eclipse-che.
Verify that the CheCluster custom resource reports no errors:
```
kubectl get checluster eclipse-che -n eclipse-che -o jsonpath='{.status.chePhase}'
```
The expected output is Active.

Retrieve the Che dashboard URL:

kubectl get checluster eclipse-che -n eclipse-che -o jsonpath='{.status.cheURL}'
