Hi @viveksingh23 !

I suspect that you don’t have any database operators installed and that Everest is not monitoring any namespaces.  
Did you use just `everestctl install` command for installation or you specified some namespaces to monitor?  
I think you will need to specify command like in the installation doc here: [Install Percona Everest - Percona Everest](https://docs.percona.com/everest/install/installEverest.html#installation)

```auto
everestctl install --namespaces <namespace-name1>,<namespace-name2> --operator.mongodb=true --operator.postgresql=true --operator.xtradb-cluster=true --skip-wizard

```

The namespaces don’t need to be created before and Everest will take full ownership of them.  
Also you don’t need to uninstall anything, just execute a new install command with namespaces and operators and it will add new namespace and DB operators.

If this is your issue then I think the quick start guide needs a bit updating (although it has a warning that at least one namespace needs to be set, but the command example doesn’t show it) and if it’s not your issue then we need more info about which command you used for installation, did you have namespaces created before or not and which pods are running in each namespace.

hello @Tomislav_Plavcic  
Thank you for the response. I found similar issue reported in link mentioned below:

> [@Percona Everest 1.3.0 can't see any namespaces or create them from WEB UI](https://forums.percona.com/t/percona-everest-1-3-0-cant-see-any-namespaces-or-create-them-from-web-ui/35107):

> Hello folks. I am new to Everest. I tried to install it in alignment with docs, but faced issue with on WEB UI I can’t do anything, no buttons, no namespaces, no ability to change settings, just like I have read-only user instead of admin. My actions: Install Everest CLI on macOS [Install Percona Everest CLI - Percona Everest](https://docs.percona.com/everest/install/installEverestCLI.html) Install Everest by the command: everestctl install --namespaces everest-qa --operator.mongodb=true --operator.postgresql=false --operator.xtradb-cluster=true --skip-wiz…

I did follow quick install guide providing command “everest install” and followed interactive prompts where i provided inputs for namespaces and operator to be installed. Installation showed success but UI option was not visible.

Third time i used below command provided in your comment and now i get UI option to create database, so iss  
everestctl install --namespaces , --operator.mongodb=true --operator.postgresql=true --operator.xtradb-cluster=true --skip-wizard
