### 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.

#### Collectors

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, collector membership, and collector 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bindplane.com/readme/access-bindplane-ui.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
