Admin dashboard

The admin Dashboard answers two questions: is the platform healthy, and what is waiting on you. It is the first page you see in the admin panel.

Admin Panel → Platform → Dashboard (/admin)

The page is read-only. Every row that needs action links to the page where you take it.

The status masthead with its chips, and the Needs attention list below it with at least one red and one amber row.

Status masthead

The banner across the top gives one verdict:

VerdictMeaning
All systems nominalNothing is broken and nothing is waiting
N things need attentionQueues are waiting on you, but nothing is failing
N incidents need attentionSomething is failing now

Alongside it: the environment badge, how many labs and services are running, a live server clock, and chips for scheduled background jobs, over-quota tenants, failed deploys, incidents and certificates.

Needs attention

Each row is clickable. Red rows are incidents. Amber rows are queues waiting for a decision.

When the list is empty it reads "Nothing needs your attention right now."

Failed deploys have no list of their own yet

The Failed deploys row opens the Instances page, but that page has no failed-deploy view. Look at the affected lab's own Deployments tab for the error, or ask your engineering team to retry the deploy.

Fleet and scale

Headline counts for the whole platform: users, running labs, managed services, storage, VPN peers and admins, plus a chart of instances by status.

Four charts for the last 30 days: new users, labs launched, currency flow and incidents. Use them to spot a sudden change, such as a drop in labs launched after a settings change.

Activity

The 15 most recent admin actions from the audit trail. For older history and filters, open Access Control → Audit log. See Access control.
