Forge HQ Dashboard Tour ​

Understanding Your Window Into the Planetary Compute Network ​

Forge HQ is the control plane for everything you do with Forge Pool:

  • organizations and projects,
  • API keys and limits,
  • nodes and agents,
  • jobs, metrics, and credits.

This page gives you a visual tour of the main Dashboard view so new users don’t get lost on day one.

1. Layout at a Glance ​

The Dashboard is split into three main areas:

  1. Top bar – global controls and context.
  2. Left sidebar – navigation between sections.
  3. Main canvas – organization-wide KPIs, charts, and tables.

If you have multiple organizations, the top-left org selector changes the entire context of the dashboard.

2. Top Bar ​

  • Organization selector
    Choose which organization you’re currently managing.
  • Quick Search
    Search for jobs, nodes, projects, and adapters.
  • Notifications
    Status updates, incidents, important messages.
  • Profile / Account menu
    Personal settings, API tokens (for user-scoped features), sign-out.
  • Nodes & Billing shortcuts
    Icons that jump straight to Nodes and Billing & Credits for fast access.

3. Left Sidebar Navigation ​

The sidebar groups everything into a few logical clusters.

Workspace ​

  • Dashboard – the view described on this page.
  • Activity Stream – high-level log of jobs, nodes, and org events.
  • Organizations / Projects – structure of your tenant.

Compute ​

  • Monte Carlo – views and tools around risk-style workloads.
  • MatMul & AI – numeric / BLAS workloads and AI inference (where enabled).

Storage & State ​

  • Blob Storage – Forge Blob buckets and objects.
  • KV Layer – planetary key–value store used by adapters and workflows.

Nodes & Agents ​

  • Nodes – list of all Agents registered to this organization: status, metrics, reputation, and earnings.
  • Metrics – detailed charts for CPU/GPU, throughput, and errors.

Economy ​

  • Billing & Credits – balances, invoices, credit packages.
  • Payouts – provider earnings and payout history.

Adapters & Integrations ​

  • Adapters – which adapters are enabled for your org.
  • Integrations – Samsara, weather APIs, finance feeds, and more.

System ​

  • Account / Settings – org-level configuration, IAM, API keys.
  • Documentation / FAQ – shortcuts to docs (this site).

4. Dashboard KPIs ​

At the top of the main canvas you’ll see several summary cards:

  • Active jobs – how many jobs are running or queued right now.
  • Jobs (24h) – completed jobs in the last 24 hours.
  • Nodes online – nodes currently connected and healthy.
  • Available credits – your remaining credit balance.

These numbers answer: “Is the org healthy and are we burning compute?” at a glance.

5. Organization Snapshot & Capacity ​

Organization Snapshot ​

Shows:

  • which workspace / tenant you’re in,
  • high-level job count,
  • compute volume and credits consumed.

Good for quick sanity checks before you start debugging.

Organization Capacity ​

Summarizes the raw power available to the scheduler:

  • number of online nodes,
  • total CPU cores / GPU units,
  • total RAM available to the pool.

As nodes join or leave, this panel updates, giving you a live view of how much horsepower you can tap into.

6. Compute Usage (Last 7 Days) ​

A stacked area chart showing:

  • CPU ms,
  • GPU ms,
  • job counts

aggregated per day.

Use this to:

  • spot traffic spikes,
  • compare weekdays vs weekends,
  • see the effect of new features or integrations that use Forge Pool.

Hovering over a point reveals exact values and breakdown.

7. Jobs by Adapter (Last 24h) ​

A donut / pie chart that shows how your jobs split by adapter:

  • montecarlo:insurance,
  • montecarlo:eta,
  • blas:matmul,
  • ffmpeg:transcode,
  • custom adapters.

This helps answer:

  • “What are we actually using Forge Pool for?”
  • “Which team or workload family drives most of our spend?”

8. Recent Compute Jobs ​

A table listing the last N jobs for this organization:

  • job ID,
  • adapter name,
  • status,
  • duration / elapsed time,
  • credits spent,
  • started timestamp.

Click any row to open the full job detail view, where you’ll see:

  • shard plan,
  • participating agents,
  • verification results,
  • raw JSON response.

This is the main entry point for debugging and audits.

9. Top Nodes by Contribution (24h) ​

A ranking of nodes that contributed the most compute in the last 24 hours:

  • node hostname / label,
  • OS / architecture,
  • jobs executed,
  • CPU ms,
  • GPU ms.

For providers, this view is a simple way to:

  • see which machines are pulling their weight,
  • spot underutilized nodes,
  • correlate earnings with actual usage.

10. Time Ranges & Filters ​

Most charts have a time selector:

  • Last 24h, Last 7 days, Last 30 days.

Future iterations may include filtering by:

  • adapter,
  • project,
  • region.

Use these to zoom from “global health” to “this week’s Monte Carlo launch” in a few clicks.

11. Where to Go Next ​

From the Dashboard, typical flows are:

  • Integrators / clients:

    • go to Projects → API Keys and wire Forge into your app,
    • then watch jobs appear under Jobs → Recent jobs.

  • Providers / node operators:

    • go to Nodes → Metrics to monitor your hardware,
    • and Nodes → Earnings to track payouts.

  • Architects / leads:

    • explore Adapters, Economy → Credits, and FAQ to plan broader rollout across teams.

The Dashboard is your “mission control” – once it makes sense, the rest of Forge Pool feels like operating a single, planetary-scale computer.
