The Cockpit
3 min read
The Cockpit is your board in a browser. It is the same fleet the Director shows on your desktop - every session card, every terminal, every control - served by your own Gateway so you can open it from any machine. There is nothing to install: it is a web address, you sign in, and you are looking at your control room.
The same board, not a status page
The Cockpit is not a stripped-down dashboard. You can start new sessions, answer an agent that is waiting on you, redirect one that wandered, and stop one that should not be running - the controls you have at your desk, in a tab. If you can do it on the Director board, the Cockpit is meant to let you do it from anywhere.
One board for every machine
If you run agents on more than one computer, the Cockpit is where they meet: every agent on every machine you own shows up on the single board, so you stop remoting into each box to check on it.
It connects to your machine, not through our servers
The Cockpit is served by the Gateway running on your own computer. Your browser talks to your machine; your code and your terminals do not pass through DevThrottle's servers. That is the same privacy line the whole product holds: agents run locally, and views - desktop, browser, phone - connect to them.
Where to go next
- Answering agents remotely - the away-from-your-desk flow, step by step.
- DevThrottle on mobile - the same idea, in your pocket, with push notifications.
