The Prompteus dashboard provides real-time insights into your Neurons’ performance, usage metrics, and cost savings. This guide explains how to interpret the dashboard metrics and use them to optimize your Neurons.

​
Dashboard Overview

The Prompteus dashboard

The dashboard consists of four main panels that give you a comprehensive view of your Neurons’ performance and costs:

​
Neuron Execution

The Neuron Execution panel shows the success rate of your Neuron executions through a pie chart visualization. It displays:
  • Successful executions (green)
  • Failed executions (if any, in red)
  • Time range filters: 1d, 7d, and 30d
This metric helps you monitor the reliability of your Neurons and quickly identify if there are any issues that need attention.

​
Microdollar Usage

The Microdollar Usage panel shows your spending over time. A microdollar (μ$) is one millionth of a dollar, allowing for precise tracking of API costs at a very granular level. The graph shows:
  • Usage patterns over time
  • Spending spikes and trends
  • Time range filters: 1d, 7d, and 30d
Microdollars (μ$) are used to track costs with high precision. For example:
  • μ$1,000,000 = $1.00
  • μ$100,000 = $0.10
  • μ$1,000 = $0.001

​
Cumulative Usage

The Cumulative Usage panel tracks your total resource consumption, with options to view:
  • Total tokens processed
  • Input tokens
  • Output tokens
  • Total spend
  • Time range filters: 1d, 7d, and 30d
For better readability, the dashboard automatically switches between dollars ($) and microdollars (μ$) based on the amount:
  • Large amounts (≥ $1.00) are shown in dollars (e.g., $118,954.925)
  • Small amounts (< $1.00) are shown in microdollars (e.g., μ$100,000)
This helps you understand your overall usage patterns and plan capacity accordingly.

​
Caching Savings

The Caching Savings panel shows how much you’ve saved through caching. It displays:
  • Total amount saved through cache hits
  • Savings over time graph
  • Time range filters: 1d, 7d, and 30d
Like the Cumulative Usage panel, this panel also automatically switches between dollars and microdollars for better readability:
  • Significant savings are displayed in dollars (e.g., $13,236.50)
  • Smaller savings are displayed in microdollars (e.g., μ$13,236)
The automatic unit switching between dollars ($) and microdollars (μ$) helps you quickly understand the scale of usage and savings:
  • Microdollars (μ$) provide precision for small amounts
  • Dollars ($) offer familiarity for larger amounts
  • The switch happens automatically at the $0.0001 threshold

​
Using Dashboard Insights

Here are some ways to use dashboard insights effectively:
  1. Monitor Performance
  2. Optimize Costs
    • Monitor microdollar usage to identify expensive operations
    • Track caching savings to validate your caching strategy
    • Adjust access controls if you notice unexpected usage patterns
  3. Capacity Planning
    • Use cumulative usage data to forecast future needs
    • Identify peak usage periods
    • Plan for scaling based on growth trends
