Dashboard

The OpenPanel interface is the central hub of your user account, providing access to all available tools, usage information, and notifications.

The OpenPanel dashboard interface is divided in two sections:

Features: listing all available options
Widgets: 2FA, Information, Usage and How-to guides

Nameservers (if configured)

Information widget with the username, plan, IP address and last login IP address

Usage

This widget displays your current usage against your plan's limits, for each item enabled on your plan:

Websites
Domains
Databases (MySQL and/or PostgreSQL)
Email accounts
FTP accounts
Storage
Inodes
CPU Usage
Memory Usage

Usage widget with bars for websites, domains, databases, email and FTP accounts, storage, inodes, CPU and memory

CPU and Memory usage are fetched live from the server. For a more detailed, dedicated view of CPU and RAM usage (and historical charts), see the Resource Usage and Resource Usage History pages under the Advanced menu, if enabled by your Administrator.

How-to Guides

If enabled by the Administrator, the How-to guides section will display links to Knowledge Base articles configured by your hosting provider, or to the official OpenPanel documentation by default.

Favorites

When Favorites feature is enabled by Administrator, users can bookmark up to 10 pages from the OpenPanel interface. These pages will appear in the sidebar menu. To add a page to favorites, simply left-click the star icon in the top-right corner of any page. To remove a page, right-click the same icon.

Services

A service badge with the service name and its status is shown in the top-right corner of the header, but only on pages that manage a container, such as MySQL, Redis or Cron Jobs. Other pages don't show it.

Hover over the service name to see live information about its container:

Name
CPU Usage
RAM Usage
Memory %
Network I/O
Block I/O
PIDs

If the Services feature is allowed on your plan, a Manage link next to the badge opens the service's page. If only the Docker feature is allowed, Manage opens the service on the Containers page instead.

Search

Click the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of the header to open the search box. It searches across pages/features, files and folders, websites, domains, email accounts, FTP accounts, containers, services, cron jobs, and MySQL/PostgreSQL databases and users. Results are limited to what's enabled on your plan — some entity types (databases, domains, emails, FTP, containers, services, websites, cron jobs) additionally require an Enterprise license.
