Dashboard

The Dashboard is your home base in SimpleLogs. It gives you a real-time overview of your system's performance and recent log activity, and lets you build a custom layout of timing graphs scoped to any touchpoint or category you care about.

Performance graphs​

The top section of the Dashboard displays a grid of timing graphs you configure yourself. Each graph plots latency data for a specific touchpoint or category over time.

Adding a graph​

Click Add Graph in the top-right corner to open the graph picker. You can choose:

  • Touchpoint graph — Shows latency for a single named touchpoint (e.g. api/checkout/submit)
  • Category graph — Aggregates latency across all touchpoints in a category (e.g. api/checkout)

Once added, the graph appears in the grid and auto-resizes to fill the available columns.

Editing the layout​

Click Layout (the icon next to Add Graph) to open the Layout Editor panel. From there you can:

  • Reorder graphs by dragging them up or down
  • Remove a graph from the dashboard

Changes persist per-team so every member of your team sees the same layout.

Empty state​

If no graphs have been added yet, the Performance section shows a prompt to add your first graph. This is a good place to start after you've sent your first timing events.

Recent activity​

Below the Performance section, the Recent Activity feed shows the most recent log events ingested by your team. It gives a quick pulse on what's happening in your system without needing to switch to the Log Explorer.

Blocked origins alerts​

If your client-side API key receives requests from an origin that isn't on its allowlist, SimpleLogs records the blocked attempt. A banner appears at the top of the Dashboard with a count per blocked origin, so you know when to update your key's allowed origins in Settings → API Keys.

Switching teams​

Use the Team Selector in the sidebar to switch between workspaces. The Dashboard and all data views are always scoped to the currently active team.
