# Monitoring Your Work

ACTIVATE features several data monitoring modules as well as a monitor dashboard to track your work.

## Home

The **Home** page displays important data at a glance.

### Workflow Monitor

This module shows a snapshot of your most recently run workflows.

Data columns for your workflows include:

- ID
- Workflow
- Status
- Submitted
- Runtime (Minutes)

If you click a workflow’s **ID** number or its name in the **Workflow** column, you’ll be taken to a more detailed view on the [**Workflows**](#workflows) page.

A workflow’s **Status** can be Started, Running, Completed, Canceled, or Error.

The **Workflow Monitor** also includes three important action buttons:

- Cancel Run 
- Run Workflow Again 
- View Active Workflow 

If you click the  icon to re-run a workflow, you’ll be taken to the workflow’s configuration form on the **Workflows** page.

### Storage Resources

This module shows your favorited storage resources and their status (**active**, **starting**, or **stopped**).

If you click the information  icon, you’ll be taken to the storage’s configuration form on the **Storage** page.

### Compute

This module shows your favorited resources and their status (**active** nodes and **requested** nodes if active or **stopped** if inactive).

![Screenshot of the Compute module.](/content-images/docs/monitoring/instances-and-jobs/blank-running-cluster.png)

The navy bar reflects the number of maximum nodes a resource can have. In the screenshot above, the resource has the controller node and a partition that’s configured for 10 maximum nodes, for a total of 11 possible nodes.

The green bar reflects the number of active nodes on a compute resource. In the screenshot above, the resource is active but not running any jobs, so there is 1 active node (the controller).

If you click the gear  icon, you’ll be taken to the resource’s **Definition** tab on the **Clusters** page.

If you click the information  icon, you’ll be taken to the resource’s **Sessions** tab on the **Clusters** page.

## Workflows

On the **Workflows** page, click a workflow. You’ll be taken to the workflow’s **Jobs** tab.

The **Workflow Monitor** here mirrors the [**Workflow Monitor**](/docs/monitoring/instances-and-jobs#workflow-monitor) from the **Home** page.

The **Job logs** module shows details about specific workflow sessions. When you navigate to this page, this module shows `No log found` until you click a job number in the **ID** column.

If you navigate to this page after clicking the eye icon  on a running workflow, the **Job logs** module will show details for that active session.

You can save workflow logs by clicking the **Download** button.

## Clusters

When monitoring a cluster, the most important features are its [**Status**](/docs/compute/navigating-cloud-clusters#status) and [**Jobs**](/docs/compute/navigating-cloud-clusters#jobs) tab. 

## Storage

When you click on a persistent storage resource, you’ll be taken to the storage’s **Sessions** tab.

The **Sessions** module shows details about all your sessions with this storage resource, including:

- Session
- Status
- Creation Time
- Deletion Time

The **Logs** module shows details about specific storage sessions. When you navigate to this page, the **Provision** and **Deletion** tabs here show `Log not found` until you click a number in the **Session** column.

You can save storage logs by clicking the **Download** button.

:::info Ephemeral Storage

Please note that ephemeral storage resources don’t have this page because they’re created and destroyed with a resource.

You can see more details about ephemeral storage resources by navigating to their attached resource and clicking on the **Storages** tab of the **Logs** module.

## Monitor

In the sidebar category **Monitor**, there are two pages: **Cost** and **Instances**.

### Cost 

The **Cost** page shows your cost data across ACTIVATE. For more information about this page, please see [**Monitoring Costs**](/docs/monitoring/costs).

### Instances

The **Instances** page shows your active and deleted clusters within the last hour.

Each instance listed here includes the following data:

- Pool
- Session
- Region
- Number of Running Instances
- Started
- Deleted
- State

If a cluster is active, its **State** will show **Running** in yellow.

If a cluster has recently been shut down, its **State** will show **Deleted** in blue.

If you haven’t started or stopped a cluster within the last hour, the **Instances** tab will show the message _No instances found_.
