Introduction

When logging into the Alumio environment, you always navigate to the Dashboard page where the main functionality about the state of your environment, statistics and processed amount of tasks is represented. In addition, using the menu panel from the Dashboard allows you to create a new connection, transform data, add storage, set up a scheduler to run tasks and verify system settings quickly.

Dashboard page

The Dashboard page illustrates the following information:

• Task statistics - displays the number of tasks with appropriate statuses such as New, Processing, Failed, Skipped, Finished and Total. In addition, statistics allows you to use a time filter based on today, last week, past 30 days or set a custom time to check how many tasks were done. Please note that the statistics updates every 60 seconds.
• Errors and issues - indicates issues that may occur in your configurations.
• List of Routes - gives an overview of routes for each route. The table displays the number of tasks created, processed, failed, skipped and finished per route and also shows the total number of tasks done according to the route.
• Memory pressure - displays which configurations consume the most memory pressure in your environment.
• Data engines - according to your license, shows the number of data engines applied to the environment and lists scheduled queues.
• Disk usage. - this option is available for system administrators of the environment and in case of having the existing environment only (no extra Spaces). It highlights the capacity of databases and filesystems, limitations on email alerts and tasks.
