# Monitoring Your Work

ACTIVATE features several data monitoring modules as well as a monitor dashboard to track your work.

## Home

The **Home** page displays important data at a glance.

### Workflow Runs

This module shows a snapshot of your most recently run workflows.

Data columns for your workflow runs include:

- Workflow
- Run
- Status
- Submitted
- Runtime

If you click a run’s number in the **Run** column, you’ll be taken to that run’s detail page. Clicking the workflow’s name takes you to its configuration form.

A workflow’s **Status** can be Started, Running, Completed, Canceled, or Error. The status buttons above the table filter the list.

The **Workflow Runs** module also includes two action buttons:

- Cancel Run 
- Run Workflow Again 

If you click the  icon to re-run a workflow, you’ll be taken to the workflow’s configuration form on the **Workflows** page.

### Storage Resources

There is a module for each storage category — **Buckets**, **NFS**, **Disks**, and **Lustre**. Each one shows your favorited resources of that type and their status.

If you click the information  icon, you’ll be taken to the storage’s configuration form on the **Storage** page.

### Compute Clusters

This module shows your favorited resources and their status (**active** nodes and **requested** nodes if active or **stopped** if inactive).

The navy bar reflects the number of maximum nodes a resource can have. In the screenshot above, the resource has the controller node and a partition that’s configured for 10 maximum nodes, for a total of 11 possible nodes.

The green bar reflects the number of active nodes on a compute resource. In the screenshot above, the resource is active but not running any jobs, so there is 1 active node (the controller).

If you click the gear  icon, you’ll be taken to the resource’s **Definition** tab on the **Clusters** page.

If you click the information  icon, you’ll be taken to the resource’s **Sessions** tab on the **Clusters** page.

## Workflows

On the **Workflows** page, click a workflow. You’ll be taken to the workflow’s **Runs** tab.

![Screenshot of the Runs tab on the Workflows page after clicking a workflow.](/content-images/docs/monitoring/instances-and-jobs/workflow-jobs-tab.png?v=32fd956d)

The **Runs** tab lists every run of this workflow, with its status, when it finished, and how long it took. It also includes action buttons to re-run, cancel, and delete a run.

Click a run to open its detail page, where the dependency graph shows each job and step. Click **General log**, or a step in the graph, to open its log.

You can save a log by clicking the **Download** button.

## Clusters

When monitoring a cluster, the most important features are its [**Status**](/docs/compute/navigating-cloud-clusters#status) and [**Jobs**](/docs/compute/navigating-cloud-clusters#jobs) tab. 

## Storage

When you click on a persistent storage resource, you’ll be taken to the storage’s **Details** tab. Click **Events** to see everything that has happened to that resource.

![Screenshot of the Events tab on the Storage page after clicking a storage resource.](/content-images/docs/monitoring/instances-and-jobs/storage-disk-jobs-tab.png?v=0beb443a)

The **Events** tab shows one row per action on this storage resource, including:

- Time
- Type
- Actor
- Target
- Outcome

Use the **Time range** and **Outcome** filters to narrow the list.

:::info Ephemeral Storage

Please note that ephemeral storage resources don’t have this page because they’re created and destroyed with a resource.

## Monitor

In the sidebar category **Monitor**, the **Cost** and **Instances** pages track spend and running instances. **Jobs** and **Queues** cover scheduler activity.

### Cost 

The **Cost** page shows your cost data across ACTIVATE. For more information about this page, please see [**Monitoring Costs**](/docs/monitoring/costs).

### Instances

The **Instances** page shows your active and deleted clusters within the last hour.

The first table groups instances by the cluster that owns them and includes the following data:

- Controller
- Deployment
- Region
- # of Running Instances
- Started
- Deleted
- State

The second table lists standalone instances.

If a cluster is active, its **State** will show **Running** in green.

If a cluster has recently been shut down, its **State** will show **Deleted** in blue.

![Screenshot of a running and a deleted cluster on the Instances page.](/content-images/docs/monitoring/instances-and-jobs/instances-page-running-deleted.png?v=a2c2109f)

If you haven’t started or stopped a cluster within the last hour, the page will show the messages _No controllers found_ and _No instances found_.
