This guide will give you the info you need to use the platform dashboard and get familiar with what it can do for you.

Note: You can access a quick, interactive tutorial right from the dashboard by clicking on Help > Tutorial in the top-right corner.

Now, let’s dive into a thorough exploration of the platform dashboard.

Once you’re done setting everything up, enter your Environment Name and hit the Create button.

You’ll find a list of all your environments right in the main panel of the dashboard.

Here’s what you’ll discover in the columns:

  • Name: This includes the name (or alias if provided) of the environment and its domain. Clicking the arrow icon next to the environment’s name expands the list of nodes it contains.
  • Status: This shows the current state of your environments (such as Running, Sleeping, Stopped, Creating, etc.).
  • Tags: Here you can see Environment Groups, region of this environment, container versions (tags), and the name of the deployed project.
  • Usage: This section displays the current load, including cloudlets and disk space usage. You can also access your Billing History from here, which takes you to a separate tab with your spending statistics for the current environment.

Function Icons for Environments

Move your mouse cursor over a running environment to find various icons for managing it: Set Alias, Region, Open in Browser, Settings, Change Environment Topology, Clone Environment, Start/Stop, Delete Environment, Add/Edit Env Groups.
