Dashboard Guide

The Arc Cloud dashboard at cloud.arc.basekick.net is your central hub for managing instances, running queries, and monitoring your data.

Instances

The Instances page lists all your Arc Cloud instances with their current status:

• Running — Instance is active and accepting requests
• Stopped — Instance is paused (no compute charges)
• Error — Instance encountered an issue and needs attention

From this page you can create, start, stop, and delete instances.

SQL Console

Run SQL queries directly from your browser. The SQL Console provides:

• A full-featured query editor
• Results displayed in a sortable table format
• Query history for quick re-runs

Use standard DuckDB SQL — window functions, CTEs, joins, and aggregations all work as expected.

Log Explorer

Browse and search ingested log and event data stored in your databases. The Log Explorer provides:

• A structured view of ingested events with automatic field detection
• Filtering by severity level, time range, and custom field values
• Pattern detection to group similar log entries
• Field browser for exploring your data schema

The Log Explorer reads data from your database tables — it is not for viewing Arc system logs. For Arc instance logs (startup, errors, health), see the Monitoring tab on the instance detail page.

Retention Policies

Configure automatic data retention per database. Retention policies delete data older than a specified duration, keeping storage costs under control.

Set retention at the database level to match your data lifecycle requirements — for example, 30 days for raw logs, 1 year for aggregated metrics.

Continuous Queries

Schedule recurring SQL queries that run on a defined interval. Use continuous queries for:

• Materialized views — Pre-compute expensive aggregations
• Downsampling — Reduce high-resolution data to summary tables
• Aggregations — Roll up raw events into hourly or daily summaries

Connection Details

View your instance endpoint URL and region. The admin token is shown once during provisioning. If you need a new token, restart the instance to regenerate it.

Billing

Manage your subscription from the Billing page:

• View current plan and usage
• Upgrade or downgrade tiers
• View and download invoices
• Monitor storage usage and overage charges

Storage

The Storage page lists all persistent volumes in your organization, including volumes from deleted instances that are still within the 7-day retention window. From this page you can:

• See which volumes are Active (attached to a running instance) or Orphaned (instance deleted)
• Export data as a .tar.gz archive (Owner and Admin roles only)
• Monitor the retention countdown for orphaned volumes

See Storage & Data Export for details.

Team

Invite team members and assign roles:

Role	Permissions
Owner	Full access, billing, delete organization
Admin	Manage instances, team members, and settings
Member	Create and manage own instances, run queries
Viewer	Read-only access to instances and query results

Settings

Configure organization-level settings and manage your profile. The Settings page includes:

• Profile — Display name and email
• Organization — Organization name and settings
• Security — Two-factor authentication (TOTP) and passkey management

See Account Security for setup instructions.
