Manage Scorecards
Manage, monitor, and track scorecard performance.
Once you have created Scorecards and Checks, you can monitor their performance, track trends, refresh evaluations, and view detailed check results. This guide covers all aspects of managing your scorecards effectively.
Update scorecards
You can update a Scorecard's configuration in the Harness IDP admin view.
Click Configure in the side navigation bar to open the admin view of Harness IDP.
Click Scorecards to view all available Scorecards in your account.
Select the Scorecard you want to update and click Edit.
Update the Scorecard configuration and click Update.
Refresh scorecards
You can manually refresh a component's Scorecard evaluation from the Harness IDP UI. This triggers an on-demand evaluation and updates the component's score in real time.
Navigate to the component in the catalog whose Scorecard evaluation you want to refresh.
Click Scorecard - Overall Score from the Overview page or the top navigation bar.
On the Scorecard page, locate the Scorecard you want to refresh and click Rerun Checks.
This will manually trigger a refresh, updating the component's score immediately.
