Dashboard Navigation

The dashboard is the operational starting point for a Moltern workspace. It is built for quick scanning: what is running, what changed recently, and what needs attention.

Moltern dashboard summary cards

Workload Filters

Moltern workload table and filters

Use the filter bar to reduce noise:

  • All shows every app and service.
  • Apps shows Git-backed applications.
  • Services shows catalog services.
  • Failed is the first stop during incident response.
  • Deploying shows in-progress work.
  • Stopped shows paused workloads.

Reading The Workload Table

Each row links to a detail page. The most important columns are:

  • Type: application or service.
  • Workload: name and source summary.
  • Status: current state.
  • Route / next step: URL, missing route, or recovery hint.
  • Updated: when the workload last changed.

Open the row when:

  • The status is failed, crashing, pending for too long, or stopped unexpectedly.
  • You need logs.
  • You need to add a domain.
  • You need to resize the workload.
  • You need to change variables or runtime settings.

Quick Jump

Moltern sidebar quick jump

Use the quick jump field in the sidebar to move between common destinations without scanning the entire navigation. It is useful when switching between dashboard, applications, services, environments, webhooks, and billing during an incident.

Dashboard Review Routine

Moltern recent deployments and platform panel

For a production workspace, review the dashboard in this order:

  1. Check the needs attention count.
  2. Open the failed filter if the count is not zero.
  3. Review recent deployments.
  4. Confirm routes for important workloads.
  5. Check billing usage before starting large services or scaling apps.
  6. Open workload detail pages for anything that changed unexpectedly.
