The admin panel gives SysOps and Director-level staff access to system-wide configuration, monitoring, and security tools.
Environment configuration
Edit your .env settings directly from the admin panel without SSH access:
- View and update all environment variables
- Secret masking — sensitive values (API keys, passwords) are masked by default
- Changes take effect immediately without a container restart
Changes to environment variables affect the entire platform. Incorrect values can break integrations or lock out users. Always verify changes in a staging environment first.

| Enable/disable | Toggle individual cron jobs without editing configuration files |

API health monitoring
The API health dashboard tracks the performance and availability of every API endpoint:
- Response times — average, P95, and P99 latency per endpoint
- Error rates — percentage of 4xx and 5xx responses
- History — time-series charts showing performance trends
- Alerts — configurable thresholds for response time and error rate
Performance headers are included on every API response:
X-Response-Time-ms — total request processing timeX-DB-Query-Time-ms — database query time
