3 minute read.
The TrueCommand Dashboard provides an overview of each connected TrueNAS system in system widgets (information cards).
The top banner includes two sort options, one to filter the view to show All or Ungrouped systems and the other to sort either by Name or Order. The default view shows all widgets for all NAS systems added to and managed by TrueCommand. Use the Find field to search for a system by name. To add a new system, click New System.
For more information on the top toolbar icons, refer to the Interface Overview article in the Getting Started Guide.
Each system has a unique widget (information card) that displays usage metrics including CPU, Temp and Storage, the number of pools and drives in the system, network, I/O read/writes and the disk verses cache usage.
The Storage graph shows how many pools and drives the system has and the storage consumed and available by size and percentage.
ARC MISS shows how often the system uses disks instead of the ARC cache. Anything above 0% means that the system is using RAM. The numbers vary by use case and workload.

double down arrow to show more information on system hardware, serial number, hostname, CPU and memory, and uptime.An alert bubble appears next to the system name and indicates the number of alerts detected for the system.
