# Dashboard

> Monitor your Neurons' performance, usage, and cost savings through the Prompteus dashboard.

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 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

<Note>
  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
</Note>

### 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](/neurons/settings/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)

<Note>
  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
</Note>

## Using Dashboard Insights

Here are some ways to use dashboard insights effectively:

1. **Monitor Performance**
   * Track success rates to ensure your Neurons are functioning properly
   * Identify patterns in failed executions through [detailed execution logs](/neurons/logging)
   * [Configure rate limiting](/neurons/settings/rate-limiting) based on usage patterns

2. **Optimize Costs**
   * Monitor microdollar usage to identify expensive operations
   * Track caching savings to validate your [caching strategy](/neurons/settings/caching)
   * Adjust [access controls](/neurons/settings/access-control) 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
