Quick Deployment

This guide walks you through running your first deployment in Mantis.

Prerequisites

Before creating a deployment, ensure you have:

• At least one target registered and approved
• At least one environment with targets assigned
• At least one action, sequence, or solution to deploy

Note

Contact your administrator if you don’t see any targets or environments.

Creating a Deployment

Step 1: Navigate to Deployments

1. Click Deployments in the sidebar
2. Click New Deployment button

Step 2: Select What to Deploy

Choose one of:

• Solution - A complete deployment package
• Sequence - An ordered set of actions
• Action - A single command or script

Step 3: Select Targets

Choose which targets receive the deployment using one of two selection methods:

• By Target - Select specific targets individually
• Tags - Deploy to targets matching specific tags

Note

An environment is a separate deployment context, not a third target-selection method. The environment supplies the pool of candidate targets and their priority ordering; within it you still narrow the actual targets by IDs or tags.

Step 4: Configure Execution

Option	Description
Execution Mode	Parallel, Sequential, or Rolling
Failure Strategy	Stop on first failure, Continue on failure, or Ignore failures
Timeout	Maximum execution time

Step 5: Review and Deploy

1. Review the deployment summary
2. Click Deploy
3. Monitor progress in real-time

Monitoring Your Deployment

After starting a deployment:

1. View real-time progress in the deployment detail view
2. Click on individual targets to see execution logs
3. Use the log streaming to watch output live
