Dashboard Overview

Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard is the first screen you see after logging in. It gives you a real-time snapshot of your monitors' health, recent activity, and open incidents — all in one place.

Dashboard Sections

Stats Cards (Top Row)

Four summary cards appear at the top of the Dashboard:

Card What It Shows
Total Monitors The total number of monitors on your team, including paused ones
Active Monitors Monitors currently running checks (excludes paused)
Open Incidents Incidents that have been triggered and not yet resolved
Success Rate Percentage of checks in the current period that returned a successful response

Endpoint Health

Below the stats cards, the Endpoint Health section lists all your monitors and their current status at a glance. Each row shows:

  • Monitor name and URL
  • Current status badge: Up, Down, or Paused
  • Last response time
  • Last checked timestamp

Click any monitor name to open its detail page.

Active Incidents

The Active Incidents section lists all incidents that are currently open or acknowledged. Each row shows:

  • Incident severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
  • Affected monitor name
  • Time the incident started
  • Current status

Click an incident to open the incident detail page, where you can acknowledge or resolve it.

Recent Checks

The Recent Checks section shows the last 10–20 individual check results across all your monitors. Each row shows the monitor name, status, response time, and timestamp.

Note: The Dashboard refreshes automatically. You do not need to reload the page to see the latest data.

The left sidebar gives you access to all sections of PulseAPI:
