Operation Modes
AuroraOptimizer supports five distinct operation modes. The active mode determines the orchestrator's behavior during each evaluation cycle. Modes can be changed at runtime without restarting the server.
| Mode | Behavior | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|
ACTIVE | Full automatic optimization. The orchestrator evaluates metrics every cycle and applies actions according to active policies. | Stable production environments |
PASSIVE | Observation and reporting only. All metrics are collected and logged; no actions are executed. | Initial deployment, diagnostics |
MANUAL | Automatic actions disabled. Only /auroraoptimizer optimize and /auroraoptimizer trigger can apply changes. | Admin full-control scenarios |
DISABLED | Plugin completely inactive. No observation, no actions, no metric collection. | Deep debugging and conflict isolation |
ANALYSIS | Eye telemetry runs at maximum resolution. Data is exported to disk. No actions are executed. | Pre-production profiling and baseline capture |
