Essentials

Now that you have Super running, dig into the capabilities you use every day — including the embedded Dashboard and optional API authentication that ship with OSS superd.

In this section

• Managed Program Requirements: Hard requirements for supervised applications (read before adding programs).
• Configuration: A deep dive into super.toml.
• Authentication: OSS admin secret; multi-user Access Tokens with the security plugin.
• Environment & Secrets: env, env_file, and safe handling of credentials.
• Dashboard: Browser UI embedded in OSS; Pro surfaces via the ui plugin.
• Process Operations: Managing services via the CLI (including numprocs multi-process programs).
• Logging: How Super handles stdout/stderr and log rotation.
• Scheduled Tasks (Cron): Periodic jobs with overlap protection.

Licensed governance (RBAC, audit, cgroups, storm-suppressed alerting) lives under Advanced Management.
