Enhancement: Admin UI & Dashboard

[thewildofficial]

Overview

Build a comprehensive admin dashboard for managing the system.

Tasks

Dashboard Overview

• System statistics dashboard:
  • Total assets ingested
  • Storage usage (by type, by cluster)
  • Processing queue status
  • Active workers and health
  • Recent activity timeline
• Real-time metrics:
  • Ingest rate (assets/hour)
  • Processing latency
  • Search queries/second
  • Error rates
• Charts and visualizations:
  • Asset growth over time
  • Cluster distribution (pie chart)
  • Processing time histogram
  • Storage usage trends

Schema Management UI

• Schema proposal review:
  • List all provisional schemas
  • View DDL with syntax highlighting
  • Preview sample data
  • Show structure comparison (before/after)
• Schema approval workflow:
  • One-click approve/reject
  • Edit DDL before approval
  • Test migration on sample data
  • Rollback capability
• Schema history:
  • Version timeline
  • Migration logs
  • Asset count per schema

Cluster Management UI

• Cluster browser:
  • Tree view of all clusters
  • Asset count per cluster
  • Thumbnail previews
  • Cluster metadata (centroid, threshold)
• Cluster operations:
  • Drag-and-drop cluster merge
  • Rename clusters inline
  • Adjust thresholds with slider
  • Delete empty clusters
• Cluster visualization:
  • 2D projection of embeddings (t-SNE/UMAP)
  • Interactive scatter plot
  • Highlight selected cluster
  • Show cluster boundaries

Asset Management

• Asset browser:
  • Grid view with thumbnails
  • List view with metadata
  • Filter by type, cluster, tags, date
  • Search assets
• Asset details:
  • Full metadata display
  • Embedding visualization
  • Similar assets (ANN search)
  • Edit tags and metadata
• Bulk operations:
  • Move assets between clusters
  • Re-tag multiple assets
  • Delete multiple assets
  • Export metadata (CSV, JSON)

Job Queue Management

• Job queue dashboard:
  • Pending jobs count
  • Processing jobs (live updates)
  • Completed jobs history
  • Failed jobs (dead-letter queue)
• Job details:
  • Processing stages and timing
  • Error messages and stack traces
  • Retry job manually
  • Cancel running job
• Worker management:
  • Active worker list
  • Worker health status
  • Start/stop workers
  • View worker logs

System Configuration

• Configuration editor:
  • View all settings
  • Edit configuration values
  • Validate before saving
  • Restart required warnings
• Feature flags:
  • Toggle VLM analysis
  • Toggle auto-migration
  • Enable/disable experimental features
• Storage management:
  • View storage backend config
  • Test storage connectivity
  • Estimate storage costs (S3)

User Management (if auth enabled)

• User list:
  • All registered users
  • User roles and permissions
  • Last login timestamp
  • Storage usage per user
• User operations:
  • Create/edit/delete users
  • Reset passwords
  • Assign roles
  • View user activity

Audit & Logs

• Activity log viewer:
  • Filterable log entries
  • Search by request_id
  • Export logs
  • Real-time log streaming
• Audit trail:
  • Admin actions log
  • Schema changes
  • Cluster operations
  • Data deletions

Notifications & Alerts

• Alert dashboard:
  • Active alerts
  • Alert history
  • Alert configuration
• Notification channels:
  • Email notifications
  • Slack/Discord webhooks
  • In-app notifications
• Alert rules:
  • High error rate
  • Queue backup
  • Storage near capacity
  • Worker failures

Technology Stack (Suggested)

• Frontend: React or Vue.js
• UI Library: Material-UI, Ant Design, or Tailwind CSS
• Charts: Recharts, Chart.js, or D3.js
• State Management: Redux or Zustand
• API Client: Axios or Fetch API

Acceptance Criteria

• ✅ Dashboard displays real-time system metrics
• ✅ Admins can review and approve schemas visually
• ✅ Clusters can be managed via drag-and-drop
• ✅ Assets can be browsed and searched
• ✅ Job queue can be monitored and managed
• ✅ System configuration editable via UI
• ✅ Audit logs accessible and searchable

Priority

Medium - Significantly improves admin experience

UX Considerations

• Mobile-responsive design
• Dark mode support
• Keyboard shortcuts for power users
• Bulk action confirmations
• Undo capability where possible
• Loading states and progress indicators
• Error messages with action suggestions

Dependencies

• Phase 8 (Admin Operations - backend endpoints)
• Phase 9 (Production Readiness - metrics)

References

• MVP Design: Section 14 (Next Deliverables - Admin UI)
• Modern admin dashboard examples: Retool, Metabase, Grafana

❌ NOT STARTED (0%) - LOW PRIORITY

Enhancement phase - implement after MVP is complete

Status:

Not started. These are post-MVP enhancements.

Recommendation:

Focus on completing Phases 3, 4, 7, and 9 first.
