Web Dashboard

Add dashboard() to get a web UI for your stack — a Sui explorer plus a small control panel for restarting, funding accounts, and capturing snapshots. It's a normal stack member: add it like any other plugin and open it in a browser.

import { defineDevstack, sui, account, dashboard } from '@mysten-incubation/devstack';

export default defineDevstack({
	members: [sui(), account('alice'), account('bob'), dashboard()],
	stackName: 'main',
});

Opening the UI

Like the wallet and other service endpoints, the dashboard is reached through a stable, stack-scoped router hostname rather than its raw process port. The default-stack URL is:

http://api.<app>.localhost:9810

Non-default stacks insert the stack segment: http://api.<stack>.<app>.localhost:9810. The plugin also resolves to a direct loopback url for tooling that bypasses the router, but the hostname above is the one to open in a browser.

What you can see and do

The dashboard is read-mostly, with a small set of guarded controls:

• Sui explorer — addresses, objects, packages, and transactions, with resolve-first search.
• Walrus & Seal panels — service status and live data for the storage and key-server plugins.
• Logs — the cross-service log store.
• Snapshot & restore progress — capture and restore narrated live, with each snapshot marked current, stale, or unknown against the running stack.
• Controls — restart, shutdown, and advance-clock, each behind a confirmation.
• Faucet fund — a one-click fund action: SUI funds a fixed amount; WAL and DEEP take an editable amount. See Faucet and Funding Strategies.

Options

All fields are optional.

• port — preferred loopback port for the dashboard's server. Devstack picks another free port if it's busy.
• bindAddress — the address the server binds, default '0.0.0.0'. The public URL stays router-fronted and stack-scoped regardless.
• allowedOrigins — extra CORS origins to allow alongside this stack's own origins, for headless test runners and custom dev hosts.

Tune how much log history the dashboard keeps with environment variables:

• DEVSTACK_DASHBOARD_LOG_CAPACITY — per-service record cap, default 2000.
• DEVSTACK_DASHBOARD_LOG_MAX_SERVICES — distinct-service ring cap, default 256.
