Dashboards

Dashboards give you an at-a-glance view of what Axiom is doing: which workflow runs are running, failing or waiting, which tasks need your input, how events are flowing through subscriptions, what AI usage costs, and whether the application is healthy.

You can create as many dashboards as you like. Each dashboard has a name, an optional description, optional labels, and one or more tabs. Each tab holds widgets arranged on a 12-column drag-and-drop grid.

Opening dashboards

Dashboards in the sidebar (/dashboards) opens the default dashboard. If no dashboard is the default, it shows the dashboards list instead.
The dashboards list is always at /dashboards/all. Every dashboard has an All dashboards button that returns to it.

The default dashboard

One dashboard at a time can be the default. Click the star icon in the dashboards list, or Set as Default on a dashboard, to make it the default. The first dashboard you create becomes the default automatically.

Creating a dashboard

From the dashboards list:

Create Dashboard creates an empty dashboard with one tab. Click Edit, then Add Widget, to fill it.
Create from Template creates a dashboard that already contains a set of widgets. Choose a template, change the name if you want, and optionally add labels. The result is an ordinary dashboard: you can edit, rearrange or remove its widgets afterwards.

When there are no dashboards yet, the empty list offers the templates directly.

Templates

Template	Widgets
Operations	Runs by Status, Application Health, Tasks Awaiting Input, Recent Failed Runs, Waiting Runs, Upcoming Schedules
Event Operations	Event Source Health, Subscription Processing, Event Volume, Processing Failures, Recent Events
AI Usage	AI Cost Summary, AI Usage Breakdown (by workflow), AI Usage Breakdown (by model), AI Cost by Subject

Editing a dashboard

Click Edit to unlock the layout. In edit mode you can:

Drag and resize widgets.
Click a widget's gear icon to change its settings, or its X icon to remove it.
Click Add Widget to open the widget catalog, which groups widgets by category and marks widgets that ignore dashboard labels.
Add, rename and remove tabs.
Change the dashboard's name, description and labels.

Click Save to keep your changes. Refresh reloads every widget.

Label scoping

Dashboard labels are subject labels. When a dashboard has labels, widgets that show subject-related data only include data for subjects that have all of those labels, for example only the runs, tasks and AI usage of subjects labelled team=a. This uses the same label filter as the Subjects, Inbox, Activity and AI usage pages.

Some data is not tied to a subject (event sources, subscriptions, schedules, system health), so those widgets are global and always show everything. When a dashboard has labels, each widget shows a Filtered or Global badge next to its title so you can tell which is which.

For AI usage widgets, usage that is not linked to any subject cannot match the labels, so it is left out. These widgets tell you how much cost was excluded this way.

Live refresh

Most widgets update by themselves:

Live widgets reload when Axiom sends a matching server event, for example when a workflow run changes status, a human task is added or removed, a new stream event arrives, or event processing changes. Reloads are debounced (about 2 seconds), and during a steady stream of events a widget still reloads at least every 10 seconds. Widgets also reload after the browser reconnects to the server.
Polling widgets reload on a timer.
The remaining widgets update when you click Refresh or reopen the dashboard.

Widgets

In the tables below, Scope is either Filtered (dashboard labels apply) or Global (dashboard labels are ignored). Time windows are 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or 90 days.

Runs

Widget	Shows	Scope	Refresh	Settings
Runs by Status	Number of runs that are running, waiting, completed, failed and cancelled. Running and waiting are current; the others cover the time window.	Filtered	Live (run changes)	Time window (default 24 hours)
Recent Failed Runs	The most recently failed runs, with their subject and a Re-run button.	Filtered	Live (run changes)	Time window (default 7 days), max rows (1-50, default 10)
Waiting Runs	Runs waiting on a timer, an event or human input, longest waiting first, with what they wait for and any timeout.	Filtered	Live (run and inbox changes)	Max rows (1-200, default 10)
Upcoming Schedules	Schedule triggers ordered by next firing time, with the last firing outcome.	Global	Live (run changes)	Max rows (1-500, default 10), show disabled schedules (default off)
Workflows	Workflow definitions with their published state, enabled schedules and most recent run.	Global	Live (run changes)	Max rows (1-100, default 10)
Recent Activity	Latest workflow, task and subject activity, with links to the subject, trace and event.	Filtered	Live (activity)	Max entries (default 15)

Inbox

Widget	Shows	Scope	Refresh	Settings
Tasks Awaiting Input	Human tasks waiting for input, with their subject, workflow run and age. Click a row to open the task in the Inbox.	Filtered	Live (inbox changes)	Max rows (default 10)

Events

Widget	Shows	Scope	Refresh	Settings
Event Source Health	Every event source with its state (healthy, failing, baseline, disabled or never polled), last success, last error and events received in the last 24 hours. Problems are listed first.	Global	Polls every minute	None
Subscription Processing	Processing outcomes per subscription (pending, completed, failed, skipped) and the last error.	Global	Live (processing changes)	Time window (default 24 hours), hide subscriptions with no activity (default on)
Processing Failures	Failed, exhausted and filter-error processing entries, newest first, with a Retry button.	Global	Live (processing changes)	Max rows (1-200, default 10)
Event Volume	Bar chart of stream events received over time: hourly for windows up to 7 days, daily beyond.	Global	Polls every 5 minutes	Time window (default 24 hours), event source (default all)
Recent Events	Latest stream events with their source and processing state. Click a row to open the event.	Global	Live (new events and processing changes)	Max rows (1-100, default 10), event source (default all)

AI & Cost

Widget	Shows	Scope	Refresh	Settings
AI Cost Summary	Total AI cost, input and output tokens and invocations.	Filtered	Manual	Time window (default 7 days)
AI Usage Breakdown	AI cost, tokens and calls grouped by subject, workflow, engine, model or action type, highest cost first.	Filtered	Manual	Group by (default workflow), time window (default 7 days), max rows (1-100, default 10)
AI Cost by Subject	Bar chart of the subjects with the highest AI cost.	Filtered	Manual	Time window (default 7 days), max subjects (default 5)

AI usage is linked to the workflow run and workflow that caused it. Usage that did not come from a workflow, such as AI assistant sessions, is grouped under "(none)" when you group by workflow.

System

Widget	Shows	Scope	Refresh	Settings
Application Health	Overall status (UP, DEGRADED or DOWN) and the database, event source, engine and scheduler checks.	Global	Polls every 30 seconds	None
Disk Usage Breakdown	Subjects using the most disk space, with a link to the disk usage details.	Global	Manual	Max subjects (1-20, default 10)
Action Types	Action types and their execution mode.	Global	Manual	Max rows (1-100, default 10)

Subjects

Widget	Shows	Scope	Refresh	Settings
Active Subjects	Subjects with a running or waiting workflow run.	Filtered	Live (subject changes)	Max rows (default 8)
Subject Spotlight	One chosen subject: its runs by status, the runs waiting now and its total AI cost.	Global (shows the chosen subject)	Live (run and subject changes)	Subject

Dashboards can be included in configuration packs. On the export page, select them in the Dashboards section. On import, dashboards are matched by name like other items: an existing dashboard with the same name is reported as a conflict. An imported dashboard becomes the default only if it was the default when exported and no dashboard is already the default.
