Use the Home Page
Use the Home page to check the health of your Redpanda Agentic Data Plane environment at a glance. It shows what needs your attention, then summarizes AI Gateway traffic, spend, and budget health. It’s where you land when you sign in at ai.redpanda.com. To return to it, open Home in the sidebar.
After reading this page, you will be able to:
-
Find, fix, or dismiss problems from the Needs attention card
-
Check gateway traffic and top spenders from the Home page
-
Monitor spend and budget health from the Home page
Act on what needs attention
The Needs attention card shows problems in the environment, and the issues page behind it holds the full list. Both order errors first, then warnings, then informational items. Each item has a button that either fixes the problem in place or takes you to the place to fix it.
| When this happens | Severity | Button |
|---|---|---|
A budget’s spend reaches its limit |
Error |
Adjust opens the budget |
A budget’s spend reaches its warning amount |
Warning |
Adjust opens the budget |
A managed agent fails |
Error |

A managed agent is degraded |
Warning |

An agent with its own budget gets its own budget item. Agents on the default budget share one item, labeled Default budget, which appears when the agent closest to the default limit reaches it.
The card shows the most serious issue. Click View all issues to see the rest. On the issues page, each issue has the same action button and Dismiss control.
To hide an item you don’t plan to act on, click Dismiss. A dismissed item stays hidden in this browser for this environment. If the problem clears and later comes back, the item appears again.
Set the time range for the page
One time range covers the AI Gateway traffic chart, the spend figures, and Top spenders. Pick a preset or an exact window of your own from the page’s range selector. The page opens on the last 24 hours.
Selecting a window on a chart applies it to the rest of the page too. A spike you find in gateway traffic narrows the spend figures and Top spenders to the same window. Click Reset time range to go back to the last 24 hours. Budget health is the exception, because a budget reports against its own period rather than a range you pick.
Check gateway traffic
The AI Gateway traffic chart covers gateway traffic over the page’s time range. See Set the time range for the page. It plots tokens and spend on separate axes. A change in spend that token volume doesn’t explain stands out. Click View all to open the same window on the Cost and usage page.
Check spend at a glance
Three figures summarize the environment over the page’s time range:
-
Spend: Spend in the range.
-
Active agents: Agents that ran in the range.
-
Tokens: Tokens used in the range.
Click any of them to open the matching view on the Cost and usage page. See Analyze Cost and Usage.
Check budget health
The Budget governance card shows how agents are doing against their budgets in the current period:
-
How many agents are governed by a budget, and the default budget’s limit and warning percentage.
-
A bar that splits those agents into within budget, near limit, and over limit. An agent is near its limit when its spend reaches the budget’s warning amount.
-
Closest to their limit: Up to four agents with the highest budget usage. Each is tagged Custom when it has its own budget, or Default when the default budget applies. Click an agent to see its cost and usage.
Click Manage budgets to open the Budgets page. If the environment has no default budget yet, the card says No budget set. Click Create default budget to add one. See Set Up Budgets.
See who spends the most
Use the Top spenders card to find which agents or users drive spend over the page’s time range. Switch between the Agents and Users tabs, and click View all to see the full breakdown on the Cost and usage page.
