### Overview of the UI

You'll find the following pages once you've accessed the Bindplane UI.

#### Overview

The Overview page summarizes the flow and consumption of your configurations and destinations. It's used to quickly understand your overall throughput for metrics, logs, and traces.

The ability to sort to the "Top Three" will let you see the Configurations and Destinations with the most consumption at a glance.

#### Agents

This is the first stop to view your collectors quickly. From this page, you can navigate to view collector configuration, status, or errors directly by clicking on the collector name. Alternatively, you can see which configuration resources are deployed to these collectors in the "Configuration" column. Quickly narrow your view with the search bar and suggested filters.

#### Fleets

This page gives you a high-level overview of all your fleets. From here, you can navigate directly to a fleet’s details by clicking its name, where you can view its assigned configuration, agent membership, and agent health breakdown. You can also quickly narrow your view using the search bar and suggested filters.

#### Configurations

Here is the entry point to view all your current configurations. From here, you can select a configuration to edit or create a new configuration with the button on the top right.

#### Library

The library page is where you'll find all your reusable resources. Here, any sources, processors, connectors, and destinations that have been saved to the library can be viewed, edited, and deleted.

Now that you've accessed the UI, let's help you install your first collector.
