Navigation layout

The left-hand navigation groups features by responsibility: compute, networking, storage, projects, billing, and account. This structure is designed to map to how operations teams think about infrastructure.

  • Projects – logical grouping for resources.
  • Compute – instances, images, snapshots.
  • Networking – IPs, firewalls, private networks.
  • Storage – volumes and backups.
  • Billing – invoices, payment methods, alerts.
  • Support – tickets and incident history.

Project dashboard

Each project has a dashboard that summarizes resource usage and health:

  • Instance list with status and region.
  • Network overview, including public IPs and firewall assignments.
  • Storage utilization by volume and snapshot.
  • Recent events such as deploys, reboots, and snapshot operations.

Activity and audit logs

The Activity section exposes a time-ordered feed of actions taken in the panel and via API. Use filters by project, actor, or resource to quickly answer “who changed what and when.”

Accessing the API from the panel

You can generate and manage API tokens from Account > API:

  1. Create a new token and scope it to a specific project or to your entire account.
  2. Store the token in a secure secret manager rather than committing it to source control.
  3. Use the token with the XenonCloud API for automation.
