Dashboard

Dashboard

The CortexPrism Web UI features a configurable dashboard with drag-and-drop widgets, providing system overview and monitoring at a glance. It is the default landing page when opening the Web UI.

Dashboard Widgets

Widget	Size	Description
KPI Cards	4×1	Agent turns, sessions, tokens, cost
Server Info	2×1	Uptime, LLM provider/model, Cortex version, system status
Daemon Status	2×2	Validator, executor, scheduler detail cards with status dots, online count, warning banner
Memory Stats	2×1	Episodic, semantic, reflection, graph counts
System Resources	2×2	Memory/disk bars, CPU cores, platform panel
Recent Sessions	2×2	Latest session list with agent, model, timestamps
Token Chart	2×2	Token usage over time (Chart.js stacked bar)
Recent Activity	2×2	Latest events from Cortex Lens audit log

Layout Configuration

Widget layout is persisted to ~/.cortex/dashboard.json and managed via:

• Drag and drop — Reposition widgets in edit mode (swap positions in array)
• Add/Remove — Toggle widgets from the widget picker panel
• Resize — Some widgets span 1 or 2 columns/rows

Default layout: 8 widgets (KPI Cards, Server Info, Daemon Status 2-row, Memory Stats, System Resources 2-row, Recent Sessions 2-row, Token Chart, Recent Activity).

Custom HTML Widgets

Agents can craft fully custom dashboard widgets via the dashboard_manage tool:

• Arbitrary HTML and inline CSS
• Optional title override
• Configurable refresh interval (minimum 5 seconds)
• Script tags and event handlers stripped for safety
• Hidden from the manual UI widget picker (agent-only creation)

REST API

Method	Path	Description
GET	/api/dashboard/config	Get widget layout
PUT	/api/dashboard/config	Update widget layout

Agent Tool

The dashboard_manage tool lets agents manipulate the dashboard directly:

dashboard_manage list                          # List current widgets
dashboard_manage add --type html --html "..."   # Add custom HTML widget
dashboard_manage remove --id widget-123         # Remove a widget
dashboard_manage update --id widget-123 --html "..."  # Update widget content

Navigation

The Dashboard is the default landing page when opening the Web UI. It appears in the "Core" navigation section with active-state highlighting. The Command Palette (Ctrl+K) also references it.
