# Understanding The Dashboard

Dashboard details

## Main Dashboard Screen

Once you’ve registered your hotspot to the dashboard, you will find the following (see screenshot below).

![SenseCAP M1 Dashboard](https://3579718252-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7YbcCgLCjFwfmsboPLCT%2Fuploads%2FTJNWAdJH40DDKo68Zcy4%2Fsensecap-m1-dashboard.png?alt=media\&token=e3c7d9a5-6899-49e3-a0d6-56916dbbdf63)

You will quickly be able to see all status updates of the hotspot on this page. If you register more than 1 hotspot, they will be added as separate rows.

Simply click the hotspot name or SN to view further details explained below.

## What Information You Can Find

The dashboard allows you to monitor your hotspots settings, including **CPU temperature**, **network settings**, **blockchain syncing progress**, and **much more**. Below is a breakdown of what each setting represents.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The information presented inside the dashboard is updated every 5 minutes. If you update network configuration changes, such as fixing relay status or simply want to see if you are synced, refreshing the dashboard in 5 minutes will provide updated data.
{% endhint %}

### Hotspot Details

* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**SN:**</mark> Your registered hotspot serial number.
* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**Hotspot Name:**</mark> Name of your registered hotspot on the blockchain.&#x20;
* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**Hotspot Online Status:**</mark>  Based on your hotspot.
* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**Helium Online Status:**</mark> Hotspot status is strictly based on helium API or ETL API, depending on which P2P data is up-to-date.
* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**Hotspot Address:**</mark> The blockchain address of your hotspot. You can click the hotspot address to view your hotspot on the Helium Explorer website.
* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**Hotspot Owner:**</mark> Your wallet (whom the hotspot is registered to on the ‘Helium App’) You can click the hotspot owner to view details of your entire account on the Helium Explorer website.

### Hotspot Network Configuration Details&#x20;

* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**Listen IP:**</mark> Peer-2-Peer listening IP of your hotspot including last update from local ETL.
  * <mark style="color:green;">**Expected:**</mark> This should be your actual physical IP address and port you are listening on ie., */ip/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/tcp/44158*
  * <mark style="color:red;">**Issue:**</mark> P2P address ⇒ /p2p//p2p-circuit/p2p/ If your IP is showing a P2P address, please wait a few hours as sometimes there is a delay with connections until your correct IPV4 address is displayed across the entire Helium P2P network.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Do not be alarmed if your status is not updated. The Helium network will need time to pick-up your new IP address and will eventually update.
{% endhint %}

### What Is PeerPing?

* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**PeerPing:**</mark> PeerPing provides network activity ping in milliseconds to determine if your connective hotspot is <mark style="color:green;">healthy</mark> or <mark style="color:red;">unhealthy</mark>. Generally, lower ping results in excellent and healthy connections and open PORT for 44158.

![Healthy PeerPing](https://3579718252-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7YbcCgLCjFwfmsboPLCT%2Fuploads%2FrIMb9POLAgOph5frIsNe%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=c2d2023d-4401-4155-b29e-5335774fd4d6)

* <mark style="color:green;">**Expected:**</mark> Healthy.
* <mark style="color:red;">**Issue:**</mark> Forwarding Unreachable/Unknown.
  * The screenshot below shows unhealthy PeerPing because PORT 44158 is not reachable or a misconfiguration of network settings.&#x20;
    * Please refer to >> [Network Configuration](/home/sensecap-gateways/sensecap-m1/m1-troubleshooting/network-related/network-configuration.md) for additional configuration steps to achieve expected results.

![Unhealthy PeerPing](https://3579718252-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7YbcCgLCjFwfmsboPLCT%2Fuploads%2FJyYbqlWhPemV7pxyw2CT%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=5198f999-6875-4417-be45-29c9860707a6)

### What Is PeerBook?

* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**PeerBook Inquiry:**</mark> This tool allows you to check directly with libp2p-peerbook to view your P2P network connections as what is being recorded on the network.

![PeerBook Inquiry](https://3579718252-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7YbcCgLCjFwfmsboPLCT%2Fuploads%2FPLIn62zhgslbIcKuP5ig%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=c65233f1-e974-4db9-be13-52e49cf18685)

{% hint style="info" %}
This is a library for storing libp2p peer information in a peer-to-peer (p2p) network. The peerbook plays a key role in a p2p network because it maintains a view over time of the peers that are available in the network.
{% endhint %}

### What To Look For In Peerbook

Once clicked, you will see your P2P network address, followed by a name, listen\_address, connection, NAT, and last\_update. (see screenshot below)

![PeerBook Inquiry Results](https://3579718252-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7YbcCgLCjFwfmsboPLCT%2Fuploads%2FgnrwSGdbhXg43qllWZEw%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=686b6250-feec-4df6-8b01-f2b5a030a64e)

If you have NAT restrictions, you will see NAT: Symmetric, Static, etc…

* <mark style="color:green;">**Expected:**</mark> NAT: None/Open for best results and maximum.
* <mark style="color:red;">**Issue:**</mark> NAT: Symmetric/Static/Strict or any other value.

If your UPnP configuration on your network is incorrect, you may see a random PORT assigned, such as '44159'. Please refer to >> [Network Configuration](/home/sensecap-gateways/sensecap-m1/m1-troubleshooting/network-related/network-configuration.md).

* <mark style="color:green;">**Expected:**</mark> PORT 44158
* <mark style="color:red;">**Issue:**</mark> Any other PORT, such as 44159

If your network configuration is incorrect, you will see a random port assigned to your hotspots IP, such as 55698, or 44159, the number varies as your router/network assigns a random port to your hotspot.

If your listen\_address is a P2P address, please allow 24-48 hours for updated data. If not resolved after 24-48 hours, please re-check your network configuration (including port forwarding, UPnP, IP reserving, etc...)

* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**Connections:**</mark> Active P2P connections.

### NAT Types Explained

* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**NAT Type:**</mark> <mark style="color:green;">**None / Open**</mark> - This is encouraged to achieve the best results, ensuring all P2P connections, PORTS, and network configurations have been applied. Allows all incoming and outgoing P2P connections. This is recommended.
* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**NAT Type:**</mark>  <mark style="color:orange;">**Symmetric**</mark> - All requests from the same internal IP address and port, to a specific destination IP address and port, are mapped to the same external IP address and port.
* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**NAT Type:**</mark>  <mark style="color:red;">**Restricted**</mark> - Certain network configurations will not allow your hotspot to perform it's duties, resulting in lower rewards and minimal p2p connections if any.
* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**NAT Type:**</mark> <mark style="color:green;">**Static**</mark> - Your network settings are based on a static IP address. This is OK.

{% hint style="info" %}
**NOTE**: Please do not run multiple hotspots within the same network. All hotspots will eventually end up in 'Relayed Status' as the hotspots will be fighting to connect to PORT 44158 and fail.
{% endhint %}

* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**Public IP Address:**</mark> Your public IP address on the internet given by your ISP.

### Additional Hotspot Details Continued

* [x] <mark style="color:blue;">**Relayed:**</mark> Provides you the current hotspot relay status. \[**Values**: <mark style="color:red;">**Yes**</mark>/<mark style="color:green;">**No**</mark>]
