About Athena & Version Information

Before you plan an upgrade, compare two servers or open a support request, you need to know exactly which Athena build is running. Athena shows this in two places: a short version line in the footer of the sign-in screen, and the full About page inside the console.

The footer of the sign-in page (and of the start page at the server's root address) shows a line like this:

JWT session · local only · 59f5a70d · 0.9.2

Part	Meaning
`59f5a70d`	The short commit: the first 8 characters of the commit the server was built from.
`0.9.2`	The product version. Every kind of Athena server reports the same number: Docker, the virtual appliance and any other install.

You can read this line without signing in, so it is a quick way to check which release a server runs, even when you don't have an account on it. The footer shows only the commit and the version. Host and configuration details are on the About page, which requires sign-in.

The About page#

To open it, click your initials (the avatar) at the top right of the console and choose About. You can also go straight to https://<athena-server>:8443/about. Any signed-in user can open the page. It needs no special permission.

The banner at the top shows a Version badge and an environment chip. Below them are four panels.

Version: the build version, a timestamp of when the server was built, in the form yyyy.MM.dd.HH.mm (for example 2026.10.21.17.28). Use it to tell apart two builds that share a product version.
Environment chip: the environment the server process runs under. The chip is green when it reads Production and amber for anything else (for example Development). If no environment is set, Athena reports Production. It is set with the ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT environment variable. The chip is not a health indicator. For health, see Server Health & Monitoring.

01 · System Information#

Field	What it shows
.NET Version	The version of the .NET runtime the server runs on.
Operating System	The host operating system and build, as the server process sees it. In a container, this is the container's OS.
Machine Name	The host name of the server. In a container, this is the container's host name.
Processor Count	The number of logical processors available to the server process.
Server Time	The server's local clock when you opened the page (`yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss`). It does not tick, so reload the page to refresh it. Use it to spot clock drift between the server and your machine.

02 · Build Information#

Field	What it shows
Build Date	When this server build was made (`yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss`). This is the same moment as the Version badge.
Commit	The full commit identifier of the build. Its first 8 characters are the short commit in the sign-in footer. It is plain text, not a link, because Athena runs air-gapped.
Environment	The same environment as the chip in the banner.
Language	The console language in use for your session, as a code (for example `EN`). See Languages & Localization.

03 · Configuration#

This panel shows the configured values for the server's ports and data stores. If a setting is not configured, the page shows Athena's default.

Field	Setting	Shown when not set
Web Port	`Server:WebPort`: the HTTPS port for the console and REST API	`8443`
API Port	`Server:ApiPort`: the port agents connect to	`8444`
Database Provider	`Database:Provider`	`SQLite`
Audit Provider	`Audit:Provider`	`File`

Configured, not tested

The About page reads these values from configuration. It does not connect to the database or the audit store, so it can't tell you whether they are reachable or healthy. For live checks, use Server Health & Monitoring. To change the values, see Configuration and Network Ports & Firewall.

04 · Credits#

The product credit line and copyright notice.

When a field says “dev”#

Release builds always carry a commit and a product version. If the commit or the product version shows dev, the build was made without that information, typically a locally built server. Mention this in a support request.

What to include in a support request#

When you contact support@sealgrid.ai, copy these values from the About page:

The product version from the sign-in footer (for example 0.9.2).
The Version badge (build version) and the full Commit.
The Operating System and .NET Version.
The Database Provider and Audit Provider.

On the virtual appliance, Settings → Appliance → Overview also shows the appliance release and its operating-system version, and you can attach a support bundle from the appliance's support tools. See Appliance overview and Support: bundles, server log and OS journal.

Versions and backups#

An appliance backup records the build version of the server that made it. When you restore, the preview shows the backup's build next to the build installed now. A backup from a newer build is refused until you update the appliance. Backups from the same or an older build are accepted. See Appliance Backup & Restore.
