The dashboard is your home base — every monitor, its current status, and its recent
performance in one place.

![The UptimeTwin monitor list, showing each monitor with its target underneath, a coloured status pill reading Up, Degraded or Down, the latest response time, when it was last checked, and its check type](/img/docs/app-dashboard.png)
*Every monitor on one screen. The status pill is the quick read; response time and
last-check age tell you whether a healthy monitor is drifting.*

## Status at a glance

Each monitor shows a colored status:

- **Up** (green) — the last check passed.
- **Down** (red) — the last check failed (after your alert threshold was met).
- **Degraded** (amber) — it's up, but responding much slower than its normal
  baseline.
- **Pending** (grey) — it hasn't completed its first check yet.

The summary at the top rolls these up so you can see how many of your monitors are
healthy right now.

## Response time and history

Click a monitor to open its detail view. You'll see:

- Its current **response time** and how that's trending.
- An **uptime percentage** over your selected window.
- A **history chart** of individual checks, so you can spot patterns and one-off
  blips.
- Type-specific details — for example, days left until an SSL certificate or domain
  expires.

## Auto-refresh

The dashboard refreshes on its own so you're always looking at current status. You
can change how often it refreshes using the control in the header.

## Longer-term trends

For response-time trends and uptime history that go back weeks or months, see
[Analytics & reports](/docs/advanced/analytics-and-reports).
