Dashboard Overview

Your Clusters page is the starting point for managing authentication services — it’s where you land after signing in. Each cluster card shows status, version, region, and its realms, so you can jump straight to what you’re working on.

Clicking into a cluster opens its Overview — a cockpit view with live metrics, realm management, health, and recent activity.

Layout

Top Bar

The top bar provides:

• Breadcrumbs: Your current location (Clusters ▸ cluster ▸ realm ▸ page)
• Theme Toggle: Light and dark mode
• User Menu: Account settings and logout

The workspace switcher lives at the top of the sidebar — click your workspace name to switch workspaces (if you belong to several) or return home.

Sidebar Navigation

The sidebar is a context stack: what it shows depends on where you are in the Workspace ▸ Cluster ▸ Realm hierarchy.

Workspace level (the default view):

• Clusters: Your clusters, plus “New cluster” and “Migrate from Keycloak”
• Workspace: Team, Billing, Add-ons, Usage & limits, Security, Maintenance, API keys, White Label, Audit logs
• Account settings: Your personal profile, notifications, and security

Cluster level (after clicking into a cluster):

• Overview: The cluster’s cockpit view
• Observe: Insights, Events, Logs, Webhooks
• Configure: Extensions, Themes, Custom domain
• Security: Security, SIEM

Realm level (after clicking into a realm):

• Identity: Users, Groups, Roles
• Connect: Applications, Identity providers
• Customize: Branding, Email, Recipes

The stack at the top of the sidebar always shows which cluster and realm you’re working in — switch either without losing your place.

Cluster and Realm Overview

Live Metrics

Opening a cluster (or a realm inside it) shows a cockpit view with live signal tiles over a trailing window:

• Tokens: Tokens issued in the window
• Login success: Success rate with a trend sparkline
• Failed logins: Authentication errors in the window
• Active users: Unique users in the window

Health, Activity, and Maintenance

The cluster Overview also shows:

• Health: Database and version status at a glance
• Activity: Recent admin and login events, linking to the full Events log
• Maintenance: Your effective maintenance window and the next scheduled slot

Switching Clusters and Realms

Cluster and realm selection happens in the sidebar’s context stack, not on individual pages. Click a cluster in the sidebar (or the switcher at the top of the stack) to enter it; click a realm inside the cluster to scope the sidebar to that realm. The active cluster and realm determine:

• Which realm options are shown
• Application configuration context
• Branding and email settings

Understanding Status Indicators

Cluster Status

Clusters display their current operational status:

• 🟢 Available: Cluster is fully operational

• 🟡 Updating: Cluster update operation in progress (extensions, themes, scaling, etc.)
• 🟡 Degraded: Cluster is running but experiencing issues
• 🔴 Failed: Operation failed or cluster is unhealthy
• 🔴 Deleting: Cluster deletion in progress
