/search gains a `setting` category, `<node>.<setting>` under its flow with the node type and the value in a new `detail` field, so Ctrl-K finds which node uses a broker or a timeout and opens the node. `setting_text` is the one place that decides what may be said: a reference to a stored secret shows its name (to superusers only, as the secrets list does), a plain value in an `x-secret` field or under a key like password, token or api_key is masked and never indexed, nested credentials in headers or query are masked, long values are clipped. The global search ranks what contains the query as typed ahead of loose spellings before it caps a group, which long setting values would otherwise have crowded out.

The dashboard app
Open your instance's app address, or select it at fluksio.com
after enrollment. For the single-container setup, open
localhost:8080 and use the admin login printed by
docker compose logs fluksio. See Getting started
for setup.
Finding your way around
The sidebar opens as a sheet on phones.
| Entry | Use it to |
|---|---|
| Home | see the brain graph, health and recent activity |
| Flows | create flows and open their editors |
| Dashboards | build widget dashboards |
| Devices | pair wall screens and choose the dashboards each shows |
| Runs | start batch runs and review their results |
| Workers | manage machines that execute nodes |
| Secrets | store credentials; superusers only |
| Modules | see or install packages used by node code |
| Alerts | choose where failures are reported |
| Admin | manage users and OAuth clients; superusers only |
| Search | find items by name |
| Settings | change your account, appearance and remote access |
Assistant appears when a provider is configured. Documentation opens the docs in another tab. On a phone the header carries one chat button instead: on Home it opens the Control tab, on any other page the assistant.
Search
Use Search, or ⌘K / Ctrl-K, to find flows, nodes, node settings, flow inputs and outputs, dashboards, widgets, devices, secrets, modules, workers and alert channels. Selecting a result opens its editor or settings.
A setting is listed as node.setting with its value beside it, so you can look
up which node uses a broker, a topic or a timeout. A credential is never shown.
A setting that points at a stored secret shows only the secret's name, and only to
superusers. A plain value in a credential field, or under a key such
as password, token or api_key, shows as •••• and cannot be searched
for.
Search covers the current instance. When connected through a portal, All instances returns to the instance list.
Home
The brain graph
The graph combines nodes from published flows. Nodes talking to the same broker topic, URL or other external target share a neuron; computation nodes appear individually. Messages connect them, and activity makes them pulse.
A problem keeps the affected neuron's label visible. A
wren or
assistant node also adds a chat
button for its Control tab.
Flows and dashboards
The flow list includes switches to start and stop flows. Dashboard tiles show a small sketch of each layout; open one for its live readings.
Health
Health shows flow status, node load errors, queue depth and event-loop lag. After you have used batch runs, it also shows running and queued runs. A degraded instance lists the problems that need attention. Warnings, such as a device that is offline, are listed in amber and leave the status as it is.
Execution time per node type
One bar per node type at its average time per run, slowest first, on a log scale. Each row also shows how often the type ran and its slowest single run, so a slow or busy kind of node stands out.
Activity
Choose 1h, 6h, 24h or 7d to review executions and failures, recent runs, dead-lettered work and the audit trail. Hover a chart to filter the lists to that moment; click to hold the selection while you read.
Managing flows and dashboards
The lists show titles, unpublished changes and status. Use New flow or New dashboard to create one. The Flows list offers Publish all changes when drafts are waiting.
To delete or duplicate several items, hold a card or Ctrl-click it, then
select the rest. The create button becomes a trash button with a duplicate
button beside it. Deletion asks for confirmation; Escape clears the selection.
A duplicate is named after the original with _copy and starts as an
unpublished draft, so it runs nothing and no panel shows it until you publish
it.
Appearance
Light and dark follow your system by default. Change this under Settings → Appearance. Dashboards also have their own theme settings.
