Dashboard Features

Traffic Overview

Real-time view of recent MCP operations flowing through Ultra:

• Request count, success/error rates
• Per-server breakdown
• Latency distribution

Trace Inspector

Drill into individual operations:

• Full request/response payloads
• Duration and status
• Upstream server and tool name
• OpenTelemetry trace and span IDs

Audit Log Viewer

Browse security audit events:

• Filter by event type, severity, and outcome
• View details for each event
• Track who did what and when

Storage

The dashboard reads from the same local storage that Ultra writes to during operation:

~/.config/ultra/ultra.db

You can run the dashboard while Ultra is running — concurrent reads and writes are supported.

Run ultra start in one terminal and ultra dashboard in another to monitor traffic in real time.
