# Understanding the Dashboard

Your dashboard is the hub from which you can monitor and alter the behind-the-scenes aspects of your exchange. This doc explains what each section you are looking at can do and how to understand it

## Overview

The *Overview* page is the first shown when logging in. This mostly acts as a quick way to navigate to the other pages and to see the progress of initial setup steps, like setting domains or verifying your identity. 

The *Exchange* section quickly shows the back-end information and monitors resource usage. The 

*Frontend Projects* list shows all your current projects and their current status.

## Backend

This page deals with the 'behind-the-scenes' elements, such as the hosting and API.&#x20;

The main section of the page shows the basic information about the exchange, such as the current version, server location, and more.

Below this, you can monitor current or past deployment activity, such as updates, restarts, domain updates, and more.

In the section on the right, you can apply backend changes:

1. The first tab, *Domain*, allows you to change the backend API domain (the setup of which can be seen in [Launching Your Exchange](/hollaex-dashboard/launching-your-exchange.md) ) and set up your [SMTP Emails](/hollaex-dashboard/smtp-email-setup.md).
2. The next tab, *Events*, gives a longer list than in the main section of all the previous events that have run on your Exchange.
3. *Monitoring*, the third tab, gives real-time metrics of the Exchange's usage and breakdowns of what specifically is using the most resources in the CPU and memory.&#x20;
   1. Below this is the *Logs* tab, which monitors all activity and can be filtered for the API, Stream, and Plugins
   2. Finally, *Settings* shows the exchange ID (unchangeable) and Display name (which can be changed).
   3. It also shows the region your servers are within and the version.
   4. The blue button allows you to have a backup of the database sent to your email.
   5. The final two sections allow for restarting the exchange, as well as stopping and terminating the exchange in the '*Danger Zone*', actions that should be taken with care.&#x20;

## Frontend

### Projects

Here, all your projects are listed, or can be created for the first time as detailed in the [setup guide](/hollaex-dashboard/launching-your-exchange.md#frontend-setup).&#x20;

From this page, you have similar abilities to those of the backend. On the left side of the screen, you can view relevant details for that project and the most recent deployment actions below.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3965312054-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MP899VqAdyGFgLTy9SY%2Fuploads%2FVzJ3ckJqAjEs4wedKVPa%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=ab720e48-fc24-41d0-845f-cec9f975af39" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

With the project(s) set up, you can access that specific project's details by clicking on it.

On the right side, we can change the domain as [described here](/hollaex-dashboard/setting-your-domain.md).

&#x20;*Access* allows us to define team members from the dashboard and give them a role.

The *Settings* tab is similar to their backend equivalent, showing information and allowing you to unpublish the page, as well as delete that project.&#x20;

### Crypto Gallery

The *Crypto Gallery* allows you to view the various UI templates that can be used with your HollaEx exchange.&#x20;

By default, all exchanges have access to the *HollaEx Kit v2 Web*. If, however, you take a liking to any of the other UIs, send the <support@hollaex.com> to inquire how to get these UIs for your exchange.&#x20;

All current templates can be seen using the try it live button on hover, which sources its data from [pro.hollaex.com](https://pro.hollaex.com).

## Account

*Account* is the final section of the Dashboard, and relates purely to your personal details, rather than direct exchange settings.

### Verification

Here you can run through the KYC (provided by iDenfy, a KYC provider you can use for your own exchange via their [plugin](/plugins/use-plugins/idenfy-automatic-kyc.md)). This process will be necessary to fully access all features on the dashboard, and you will be reminded to do so by the setup guide on the overview page.

### Agreement

With verification done, the agreement is the final thing to sign to fully complete your setup. Once sent off and verified by our team, you can refer back to it here.&#x20;

### Billing

*Billing* lists your current plan, as well as all previous paid invoices. If your plan is coming up to resubscription time, you are able to do so from here.

### Team

Finally, through the *Team* menu, you can directly invite your team members via email and instantly assign them roles within your organization and exchange.&#x20;
