Dashboard Overview
After a successful login, the user lands directly on the Dashboard (menu item "Overview"). It provides a complete at-a-glance status of all managed IDIAL containers and their certificates.
Dashboard Layout
The dashboard is divided into three areas:
- Statistics tiles (top): Display aggregated key metrics for containers and certificates.
- Container list (center): Lists all managed IDIAL containers with their status and certificate summary.
- Navigation bar (left): Allows switching between the main sections of the application.
Statistics Tiles
Container Statistics
The first row of tiles shows the current state of all IDIAL containers:
| Tile | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total Containers | Number of all registered IDIAL containers |
| Running | Containers that are actively reachable (status "Online") |
| Errors | Containers with connectivity or certificate issues |
| Total Endpoints | Total number of monitored endpoints across all containers |
Certificate Statistics
The second row of tiles summarizes the state of all managed certificates:
| Tile | Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Total Certificates | Shield icon | Total number of all certificates across all containers and endpoints |
| Valid | Green checkmark icon | Certificates that are valid and have not yet expired |
| Expiring Soon | Orange warning icon | Certificates expiring shortly that should be renewed |
| Expired | Red shield icon | Already expired certificates that must be renewed immediately |
Container List
Below the statistics, the Container section lists all registered IDIAL containers. Each entry shows:
- Name of the container
- Status badge:
Online(green) orOffline(grey) - IP address and port of the container
- Number of endpoints
- Certificate status badges (right side):
- Green number: Number of valid certificates
- Orange number: Number of certificates expiring soon
- Red number: Number of expired certificates
- Grey number (on some containers): Inactive or unmonitored certificates
Clicking the arrow button (›) on the right side opens the detail view for that container.

Menu Items
The left navigation bar contains three main sections:

The Containers menu item shows the same list as the dashboard, but additionally provides the + Add Container button to register new IDIAL containers.
The User Management menu item lists all users with their username, full name, organizational unit, role (Admin or User), and the date of last login. New users can be created via + Create User.
User Area and Quick-Access Controls
At the bottom of the left navigation bar are the user area and three quick-access buttons.
Logged-In User and Sign Out
At the top of the user area, the name of the logged-in user is displayed. The arrow icon to the right allows the user to sign out.

The globe icon with the abbreviation DE or EN switches the language of the user interface. Clicking it opens a dropdown menu with the following options:

The sun/moon icon toggles between Dark Mode (dark theme, default) and Light Mode (light theme).

The selection is applied immediately and saved in the browser.
