​
Overview

The dashboard is titled Infrastructure Overview, subtitled “CloudStack resource allocation and activity”. It answers three questions at a glance: what do I have, how much of my quota is left, and has anything gone wrong recently.
Navigation: Dashboard. It’s the first item in the sidebar and the screen you land on after signing in.

​
Header controls

The page refreshes itself every 30 seconds. Background refreshes animate a small dot on each card rather than blanking the page, so the numbers you’re reading don’t disappear underneath you. The header shows · updated HH:MM once data has loaded.

​
Health banner

A banner sits at the top once there is activity to summarize. When everything is clean it reads:
All systems operational — no errors or warnings in recent events
Otherwise it turns amber and counts what it found — for example “2 errors and 1 warning in recent events — review the activity feed below”. The counts reflect your selected timeframe.

​
Resources

A single Resources card carries eight counts:
Instances is the count of virtual machines. The dashboard and the API use “instances”; the Compute screens call the same resource a virtual machine.

​
Quota cards

Three cards show consumption as used / limit with a percentage bar. Bars turn amber at 65% and red at 85%, so you get warning before you hit a wall. GPU and Backup appear only if your account has a limit for them.

​
Allocation charts

Three bar gauges plot the same quota consumption as percentages from 0 to 100:
  • Compute Allocation — ”% of quota used — CPU, Memory, GPU”
  • Storage Allocation — ”% of quota used — Primary, Secondary, Backup”
  • Network Allocation — ”% of quota used — IPs, Networks, VPCs”
Each shows No data when there’s nothing to plot.
The quota cards and the allocation charts are two views of one dataset. The cards give you absolute figures for capacity planning; the charts make it obvious at a glance which dimension you’ll exhaust first.

​
Recent Activity

The activity panel lists your most recent events — up to 12 rows, subtitled with the count and window (for example “48 events · last 24h”). View all → opens the full Events screen. Empty state: No recent activity.

​
When your account has no region

A new account has nowhere to put resources yet, so the dashboard shows a banner instead of numbers:
No region configured yet Create your first resource to pick a region — we’ll set up your VPC and network automatically.
The Get started button begins the virtual machine flow, which asks for a region first. See the Quickstart for the whole path.
In this state the dashboard deliberately stays quiet about failed data fetches — there’s no infrastructure to report on, so an error box would be noise rather than signal. Once you have a region, fetch errors are surfaced normally.
