Admin
The Admin area is the instance-wide side of the panel: nodes, servers, users, eggs, databases, and panel settings all live here. It's only visible to administrators: root admins (accounts with the Admin toggle, see Users) and users granted admin permissions through a Role. See the Permissions Reference for what each admin key covers.
The sidebar starts with Back (returns to the dashboard) and Home, followed by these groups, and the Quick actions palette (Ctrl+Space) jumps to any of these pages by name:

Home
/admin lands on Home, a status dashboard with three tabs: Overview, Updates, and Health. The Updates and Health tabs require the stats.read permission, and so does the content of Overview. Whenever a newer panel version is available, a banner at the top links to the upgrade instructions.
Overview
Three cards:
- System Overview: CPU model, memory usage (including how much the panel process itself uses), kernel version and architecture, container type (Official, Official AIO, Official Heavy, or None detected), PostgreSQL version and database size, cache version, and cache calls/hits/misses with the average cached call latency.
- General Statistics: how many Users, Servers, Locations, Nodes, Nest Eggs, Database Hosts, Backup Configurations, and Roles the panel has.
- Backup Statistics: backup counts for All Time, Today, This Week, and This Month, each broken down into total, successful (with size), failed, and deleted.
Updates
- Panel Version: the version you're running versus the latest available, with a Recheck for Updates button that re-runs every update check on this tab.
- Version History: a table of installed versions and when they were installed. The dropdown switches between the panel's history and each extension's.
- Outdated Extensions: extensions with a newer version available, listing package name, installed and latest version, and the changelog. Extensions that failed the update check are listed separately with their error.
- Outdated Nodes: nodes running an older Wings version than the latest, including how many failed to check. Requires
nodes.read. - Outdated Database Agent Hosts: the same for database agent hosts. Requires
database-agent-hosts.read.
Health
- General Health: applied database migrations (e.g.
107 / 107 (100.00%)) and the panel's Avg. NTP Offset, highlighted when it climbs above 100 ms. - Extension Migration Health: applied versus total migrations per installed extension.
- Debug Mode: shows whether debug mode is currently enabled, with an Enable Debug Mode / Disable Debug Mode button (requires
settings.update). The setting resets to its default when the application restarts. - Desync Nodes: nodes whose clock is more than 5 seconds off the panel's clock, which can cause file download and console issues. Ideally this list stays empty.
