Find your way around
The rail on the left of icLens has one place for each kind of work. Places marked Agent appear once you have an Agent.
| Place | What you do there |
|---|---|
| Home | Search for any canister, and see what needs attention. |
| Canisters | Your canister list, and each canister’s pages. |
| Monitor Agent | What the Agent watches, alert rules, availability checks and alerts. |
| Telemetry Agent | Explore metrics, logs, traces and frontends, and build dashboards. |
| Cycles Agent | The Reserve, automatic top-ups, limits and payments. |
| Activity | Operations, jobs and the audit trail. |
| Discover | The public network: subnets, governance, Chain Key and SNS. |
| Inbox Agent | Everything that needs you, across your Agents. |
| Agent | Your Agent’s health, people, storage, AI and updates. |
| Settings | Your account, network, appearance and this browser’s data. |
Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) anywhere to search for a canister, a page or a dashboard.

Keep using your build tools to compile and test. icLens is for the canisters you have deployed.
For a website, start in Frontends: notice a change, size its impact, inspect an issue or page, and open a real example’s Timeline. Its collector lives under that frontend. Data connections links there; People controls access. Monitor holds its rules, and dashboards retain the exact collector and application from which they read.
