A tour of the dashboard

The navigation is a rail of icons down the left side; hover one for its name, or press Expand at its foot to show the names beside them. Its areas come in two groups: Operate, for what’s happening right now, and Configure, for how it should behave. Under the mark at the top is the workspace you are in — open it to switch workspace or create one, see Workspaces and members — and below that Search (the command palette); at the foot are Help and your account, with Sign out. The rail stays in place while a long page scrolls. At the top right of every page a pill shows whether live updates are on: a green Live, a grey Connecting… or an amber Reconnecting…. On a phone the rail is a menu behind the ☰ button, and the pill is a dot in the top bar.

Above all of it sit the banners that have to stay in front of you: an unencrypted connection, a master.key still to be backed up, and — on InfraInbox Cloud — an email address you haven’t confirmed yet, which is what stops anything being sent (see Your account).

Screen Route What it’s for
Inbox /incidents Everything that needs a person, grouped by what to do next, beside the incident you chose. See Triage in the inbox.
Activity /events Every event received, whatever became of it — including the ones that never opened an incident. The place to check “did this even arrive?”
Deliveries /deliveries Every outbound notice, across every destination: sent, failed, skipped, and why.
Sources /sources Every source, its connection and health, and where to add a new one. See How sources work.
Watchers /watchers Every InfraInbox watcher checking in, its host, version, last check-in and settings in effect; and each source’s served detection settings. See Docker and host watcher.
Screen Route What it’s for
Notifications /rules Routing, presets, silences, quiet hours and dry run — see below. Every member can read it; only an owner or admin can change it.
Destinations /destinations Telegram, Slack, Discord and webhook destinations. Owner/admin only.
Settings /settings Account, security, devices, workspace, members, server info and API keys — see below.
Tab Route What it’s for
Routing /rules The ordered rule list and the default route. See Routing rules and the default route.
Presets /rules/presets Each integration’s starting rules, and per-source overrides. See Presets.
Silences /rules/silences Time-boxed silences and mutes. See Silences and mutes.
Quiet hours /rules/quiet-hours The workspace’s daily quiet window. See Quiet hours.
Dry run /rules/dry-run Try one event against the current rules without sending anything. See Try an event (dry run).
Tab Route Visible to What it’s for
Account /settings/account everyone Your profile.
Security /settings/security everyone Password, two-factor authentication and recovery codes, browsers signed in.
Devices /settings/devices everyone Your own paired phones: pair one, revoke one.
Workspace /settings/workspace everyone (owner/admin can change it) The workspace’s name, time zone and retention, and today’s usage against its limits. A member reads them — the time zone is the clock every date in the dashboard is shown on — and sees no boxes to type in. An owner can also export the workspace or delete it — see below.
Members /settings/members everyone (an owner can change it) Who is in the workspace and who has been invited. See Workspaces and members.
Server /settings/server everyone (extra detail for owner/admin) Version, mode, server ID; an instance admin also sees transport and push relay settings.
API keys /settings/keys owner/admin Every source’s ingest keys in one place. See Keys and credentials.

At the foot of Settings → Workspace, an owner — not an admin — has two more actions:

  • Export workspace downloads one JSON file with the workspace’s sites, sources, monitors, rules, destinations, silences, incidents and events. It carries no keys, credentials or push endpoints. One export runs at a time; ask again while one is running and InfraInbox says so.
  • Delete workspace asks you to type the workspace’s name, then to confirm it’s you. Its sources stop accepting events at once, its monitors stop watching, anything queued for it is cancelled, and its rows are removed within 30 days. There is no undo, so export it first if you want the data. Your last workspace can’t be deleted this way — close your account instead.

Help, at the foot of the navigation, is this guide, built into the dashboard: it works offline and matches the version you run, and code samples in it show your own server’s address instead of infrainbox.example.com. Every screen also has a small help link (? or Learn more) next to its title; it opens the page about that screen on the public docs at infrainbox.app/docs, in a new tab, so the screen you were on stays open.

Press ⌘K (macOS/iOS) or Ctrl K (everywhere else) to open a search box over areas, sources and open incidents — jump anywhere without leaving the keyboard. Type a few letters of a topic and it also finds pages of this guide.

While the Inbox is open and you’re not typing into a field:

Key Does
j / k Choose the next / previous incident
e Acknowledge it
s Snooze it for an hour
x Resolve it (asks first)
u Undo the last action
/ Filter the Inbox
