The control panel

The first screen after login answers one question: is everything all right. Four tiles — the health counters; below them, the viewers and traffic dynamics; at the bottom, the per-channel error heatmap.

The control panel of a working installation

The tiles

  • Streamers online and Streamers broken — the registry's summary: who reports, who stopped.
  • Channels online and Channels broken — the running channels and the ones that should run but cannot: none of their sources delivers data.

The broken-tiles stay gray while the count is zero and turn red on the first failure — on a healthy installation this screen is gray-green, and any red spot on it means work.

The Add channel button leads to the channel list.

The charts

  • Channels and clients — how many channels are on air and how many viewers watch, over time.
  • Network — the installation's ingress and egress traffic.

The charts' history comes from the built-in metrics store: a fresh installation starts with empty axes, and the history accumulates as it runs.

Channel errors

The heatmap at the bottom — a channel per row, time across; the darker the cell, the more errors fell on the channel in that interval. Hover a cell and the tooltip names the exact number. It is the fastest way to see that a channel is sick periodically: an even row of dark cells on one channel is a systematic source problem, a single spot is a one-off.

When something is red

  • Streamers broken. Open the streamer registry: who exactly went silent and for how long — the reachability chips and the last sync live there too.
  • Channels broken. Open the channel list: the red indicator shows who, the source chain shows why. Then — source diagnostics.
