Quick Start

Start using Dashboard in minutes to monitor health, performance, and model quality

Use this guide to run a first-pass health review using the Dashboard module.

Step 1: Open Dashboard

1. Sign in to Bud Admin.
2. Select Dashboard from the left navigation.
3. Confirm the landing view shows summary cards and chart panels.

Step 2: Read the Top Summary Area

1. Check Total Requests for recent load and trend direction.
2. Check Models for total plus cloud/local distribution.
3. Review Endpoints, Clusters, and Projects cards for readiness posture.

If requests are rising while running endpoints are flat, prioritize capacity checks first.

Step 3: Set Chart Time Windows

For each chart, pick one of:

• LAST 24 HRS for near-real-time anomaly checks
• LAST 7 DAYS for weekly trend analysis
• LAST 30 DAYS for capacity and planning patterns

Step 4: Review Core Performance Charts

1. API Calls: identify top projects by volume.
2. Latency: look for regressions that may affect UX.
3. Throughput: verify processing efficiency at current load.

Step 5: Review Quality and Cost Signals

1. Model Usage: identify the top five active models.
2. Accuracy: compare benchmark performance across those models.
3. Token Metrics: compare input vs. output token patterns.

Step 6: Convert Signals into Actions

Typical follow-ups include:

• Scale or rebalance overloaded deployments.
• Investigate outlier projects in Observability.
• Re-evaluate low-accuracy high-usage models.
• Review token-heavy workloads for prompt optimization.
