Introduction to Monitor
Learn about Introduction to Monitor in WaymakerOS.
Monitor is Host's operational dashboard. It shows real-time health metrics across your apps, ambassadors, and webhooks — so you can see what's running, what's failing, and where to investigate.
What Monitor tracks
Monitor focuses on infrastructure health, not business analytics. It answers:
- Are my apps deploying successfully?
- Are my ambassadors running without errors?
- Are webhooks being delivered?
- What happened in the last 24 hours?
The dashboard
Open Monitor from the Host module bar. The dashboard shows four key metrics at the top:
| Metric | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Apps | Total apps and how many are actively running |
| Ambassadors | Total ambassadors and how many are active |
| Tables | Total tables in your data layer |
| Webhooks | Total received and how many failed |
Time range
Use the selector in the top-right to adjust the time window:
- 24 hours — what happened today
- 7 days — this week's overview
- 30 days — monthly trends
All metrics and the activity feed update to match the selected range.
Detailed metrics
Below the summary cards, three detailed metric panels show:
Deployments
- Count — total deployments in the time range
- Success rate — percentage that completed successfully
- Colour-coded: green (90%+), amber (70–89%), red (below 70%)
Invocations
- Count — total ambassador invocations
- Success rate — percentage that completed without errors
- Average response time — how long invocations take on average
Webhook delivery
- Count — total webhooks received
- Success rate — percentage delivered successfully to their destinations
The activity feed
Below the metrics, a chronological feed shows every operational event:
- Deployments — app or ambassador deployed (success or failure)
- Invocations — ambassador function called
- Webhook events — incoming webhook received and processed
Each event shows:
- The affected resource (app or ambassador name)
- A status icon:
- Green checkmark — success
- Red X — failed
- Orange warning — timeout
- Grey clock — queued or building
- Relative timestamp ("5 minutes ago")
Click any event to jump directly to the affected app or ambassador.
Empty state
If no activity exists in the selected time range, the feed shows a message confirming everything is quiet.
When to use Monitor
After a deployment
Check Monitor to confirm your deployment succeeded. If it failed, the activity feed shows the error and links to the affected app.
Investigating errors
If users report issues, check the invocation success rate and activity feed. Look for failed invocations or webhook delivery failures.
Routine health checks
Glance at the dashboard weekly to spot trends — declining success rates, increasing response times, or webhook failures that need attention.
