5. Status Center

Status Center repeats the same node/StorageSet/volume summary cards from the Dashboard and adds two full-width panels: Alerts, and a tabbed panel whose tabs are Events Log and Audit Log.

Full Status Center page: summary cards + Alerts panel + Events Log/Audit Log panel Figure 5.1. Full Status Center page: summary cards + Alerts panel + Events Log/Audit Log panel.

5.1 Alerts Panel

Column Description
Severity Icon-coded severity of the alert
Alert Message Human-readable description
Component The realm component the alert concerns
Alert Group Logical grouping/category
Code Machine-readable alert code

Additional columns available via the column picker but hidden by default: Alert Rule, IP Address.

Toolbar (top-right of the panel): severity filter chips (All/Critical/Warning/Info, each with a count), a filter-builder icon, a column-visibility icon, and a search icon. See 3.1 for how these work; the same pattern is reused on every table in the product.

Column headers add their own controls: an up/down arrow sorts the table by that column, ascending or descending, and a three-dot menu offers sort order, pin, filter, hide-column, and manage-all-columns options.

When nothing is active, the panel shows a checkmark and “No active alerts”.

5.2 Events Panel

The Events Log tab is the default view of the bottom panel.

Column Description
Time (UTC) Sortable; defaults to newest-first
Event Message Human-readable description
Event Group Logical grouping/category
Code Machine-readable event code
Component The realm component the event concerns

This panel uses the same toolbar pattern as Alerts (filter, column-visibility, and search icons). Once the realm has done anything (brought a volume online, enabled a backup service, etc.), this panel populates with real rows: a timestamp, a human-readable message (e.g. “Volume online: Volume /home has been brought online.”), an Event Group, a numeric Code, and the Component it concerns.

Alerts panel filtered to a Critical alert, with the Events Log tab beneath it populated with Volume-component rows Figure 5.2. Alerts panel filtered to a Critical alert, with the Events Log tab beneath it populated with Volume-component rows.

Note: On a realm with no activity yet (e.g. immediately after a fresh reset), this panel instead shows a perpetual loading skeleton with no rows, even after waiting. Elsewhere in the product (the Tenant detail page, 9.2) the equivalent Events tab shows the same empty/loading behavior under the same no-activity-yet condition, while the Audit Log tabs and panels (5.3, and on the Tenant and User detail pages, 9.2 and 10.2) populate immediately since simply viewing a page is itself an audited action. This is a property of having nothing to show yet, not a broken control.

5.3 Audit Log Panel

The Audit Log tab, next to Events Log, lists the actions users and service accounts have taken in the realm, newest first. Because viewing a page is itself an audited action, this tab has rows as soon as anyone has signed in.

The Audit Log tab of the Status Center bottom panel Figure 5.3. The Audit Log tab of the Status Center bottom panel.

Column Description
Date & Time (UTC) Sortable; defaults to newest-first
Actor Who performed the action, e.g. “admin”
Action e.g. “View”, “List”
Resource What the action was performed on, e.g. “Volume”, “Tenant”, or a linked ID
Source IP The IP address the action originated from
Result e.g. “Success”

This panel uses the same toolbar pattern as Alerts (filter, column-visibility, and search icons). It shows the same records as panctl audit list.
