Projects

The projects section on the Hawkeye dashboard allows you to organize your company’s services and resources in a structured manner, similar to folders.

In this section, you can view a list of all your existing projects, search through them using the search bar at the top, and create new projects.

We’ll now guide you through navigating existing projects and creating a new project.

Creating a new project

You’ll find the “New Project” card in the projects section. Click on the card and follow the steps as shown below to create a new project:

1. Setup the project: You’ll be prompted to set up some basic project details, such as:

   • Project Name: Choose a relevant name for your project.
   • Project Description: Provide a short description of what the project will do.
   • Project Color: Select a color to represent the project, allowing easy identification later.

   

   After inputting the required details, click on the Next button at the top right corner of the screen.

2. Select connections: The next step in creating a new project is to select the connections associated with it. You’ll see a screen like the one below with all your available connections, and you’ll make a choice from them.

   

   After selecting, click the Save button at the screen’s top right corner.

3. Finalizing the project setup: After filling out the required details, your project will be set up, and you’ll receive a confirmation message indicating that the project was successfully created. The project will now appear in your list of existing projects and be ready to be worked on.

   

   Once you see the confirmation message above, click on the Start a session button.

   NOTE: After finishing the project setup, the Start a session button will not be usable right away if the project state is still being setup and loaded.

4. Working on a project: Once the project is created, you can now create various sessions under your newly created project. In a session, you’ll find tools and features to help you monitor and manage your services, such as those seen in the images below:

   

Navigating an existing project

Once you have several projects set up, you can easily navigate to and manage them from the projects section. Each project card features a menu that offers various management options.

Follow the steps below to access and manage an existing project:

1. Accessing project options: Locate the three-dotted menu icon on your project card at the top-right corner. Clicking on this icon will open a dropdown menu providing options which include the following:

   • Edit: Alter the name or description of a project.
   • Refresh: Allows you to refresh the state of a project.
   • Delete: You can remove an existing project from your list.

   

2. Editing project details: If you choose the Edit option, you will be taken to a screen where you can modify key project details like the project name, description, and color.

   

   After updating the information, be sure to save your changes by clicking the Save button at the top right corner.

3. Viewing project sessions: You can click on an existing project to access its dashboard. Here, you can query your project against any of your available connections.

   

   After that, it’ll generate an appropriate response to that query, giving you options to keep querying further if need be.
