Dashboard

Dashboard for monitoring mirrord usage

The mirrord Dashboard is a web-based interface for monitoring mirrord usage across your organization. It provides real-time visibility into sessions, users, targets, CI pipelines, and overall adoption trends.

Want to see the dashboard in action? Check out our live playground.

mirrord serves this dashboard two ways, depending on how your operator is licensed:

	License Server Setup	Cloud Setup
Operator credential	Self-hosted license server (license.licenseServer)	Cloud API key (cloud.apiKey)
Plan	Enterprise	Team or Enterprise
Where you view it	In-cluster, via kubectl port-forward	app.metalbear.com, behind your login
Access control	Your cluster networking	Your organization's members, through login
Where usage data lives	Your license server's database	mirrord cloud
Best for	Self-hosted installs — air-gapped, compliance, or by preference	Teams that can reach the mirrord cloud

An operator does one or the other, never both. Pick your setup path, then come back here — the interface below is identical either way.

Usage Tab

The Usage tab is the main view, showing metrics, session activity, and analytics charts.

Metric Cards and Session Activity

Metric cards and session activity table

The top row displays five key metrics at a glance:

Metric	Description
Licenses	Total license count and number of active unique machines
mirrord Champion	The most active mirrord user and their total session time
Total Sessions	Cumulative number of mirrord sessions, with a sparkline trend
Session Time	Total cumulative session time, with a sparkline trend
CI Sessions	Total CI pipeline sessions, with max concurrency

Use the time range selector in the top-right corner (7d, 30d, 90d, All) to adjust the data to the selected time period.

Below the metrics, the Session Activity table shows a cross-referenced view of users and their target workloads. Each row shows the user, target, namespace, session count with a visual bar, and total time. The table is searchable and sortable by any column, with pagination for large datasets.

Users View

User charts and metrics table

Switch to the Users tab to see user-focused analytics:

• Session Duration vs. Count: A scatter chart plotting each user's total sessions against their average session duration. Larger bubbles indicate more total session time, helping you spot power users and usage patterns.

• User Timeline: Shows when each user was first seen and their most recent activity, giving a quick view of adoption over time.

• User Metrics table: A detailed, searchable table with columns for identifier, first active date, last seen date, total sessions, cumulative time, and average duration. Click any column header to sort.

Targets View

Target adoption and namespace breakdown

Switch to the Targets tab to see target-focused analytics:

• Target Adoption: A scatter chart showing sessions vs. unique users per target. This helps identify which workloads are broadly adopted vs. heavily used by a few people.

• Sessions by Namespace: A horizontal bar chart breaking down session distribution across Kubernetes namespaces.

• Target Metrics table: A searchable table listing each target workload with its namespace, session count, total time, and number of unique users.

ROI Calculator

ROI Calculator

The ROI Calculator tab estimates the time and cost savings from using mirrord. Configure the inputs on the left and see the calculated results on the right:

Inputs:

• Number of developers: How many developers use mirrord

• Developer cost: Annual salary or hourly rate

• Deploy/test cycles per developer per day: How many code-deploy-test loops each developer does daily

• Minutes per deploy cycle: Time saved per cycle by using mirrord instead of deploying to the cluster

• Infrastructure savings (expandable): Number of staging environments decommissioned and their monthly or annual cost

Results:

• Hours saved per developer per week

• Faster delivery percentage

• Annual productivity savings (team hours and dollar value)

• Annual infrastructure savings

• Net Annual ROI after subtracting the mirrord license cost

Features

Dark Mode

Toggle between light and dark themes using the moon/sun icon in the top-right corner of the app bar. Your preference is saved in the browser's local storage.

Manual Sync

Click the Sync button in the app bar to manually refresh all dashboard data. The last updated timestamp is displayed next to the button.

Operator Version

The operator version is displayed in the app bar for quick reference (e.g., v3.142.0).
