# Mission Control monitoring

> Use the Day Planner, employee drawer, and Mesh Canvas to see what needs attention — all inside Cowork Mission Control

## Overview

Monitoring in Cowork happens on the **Mesh Canvas** (Mission Control at `/cowork`) — not on a separate Control Center page. You watch employees from three surfaces that work together:

1. **Day Planner** — upcoming wake-ups and pending items across your workspace
2. **Employee detail drawer** — status, stats, and timeline for one employee
3. **Mesh nodes** — live status badges on each employee on the canvas

## Day Planner

Open the **Mission Control / Day Planner** panel on the Mesh Canvas. It answers “what needs attention now?”

Typical lanes include:

* **Upcoming wake-ups** — scheduled Work Cycle runs about to start
* **Pending approvals** — plan reviews, input requests, connector decisions, and hire reviews waiting on you
* **Recent activity** — quick scan of what ran recently across visible employees

Click an item to jump to the employee on the Mesh and open its drawer.

> [!TIP]
>
> Resolve pending approvals promptly — blocked runs and scheduled wake-ups stay waiting until you decide.

## Employee detail drawer

Click any employee node to open the drawer. Monitoring details live here:

* **Status badge** — Idle, Active, Running, Paused, Error, Pending approval, or Terminated
* **Summary stats** — run counts, success rate, average duration, and credit usage for this employee
* **Timeline** — recent runs with outcome, duration, and cost per run
* **Quick actions** — invoke, pause, resume, or terminate (when you have permission)

See [Execution History](/en/cowork/digital-employees/historico-execucoes/execution-history.md) for how to read the timeline and open a run’s full detail.

## Pending items on the Mesh

Employees waiting on you show a **Pending approval** (or similar) status on their node. You may also see cues in the Day Planner. Open the drawer or the live run view to approve, reject, or answer input — see [Approvals & Interactions](/en/cowork/digital-employees/aprovacoes-e-interacoes/approvals-interactions.md).

## What to watch

| Signal | Where to look | What it means |
| - | - | - |
| **Error** status | Node badge or drawer | The last run failed — open the timeline and latest run detail |
| **Pending approval** | Day Planner, node, drawer | A human decision is blocking progress |
| **Running** | Node badge | The employee is executing now |
| **Paused** | Node badge or drawer | Scheduled wake-ups are suspended until you resume |
| **Failed runs (recent)** | Day Planner or drawer timeline | Pattern of failures worth investigating |

> [!TIP]
>
> Cowork does not show per-employee CPU or memory usage. Use run logs, timeline outcomes, and credit usage to judge health.

## Tips

* Start each session in Mission Control — scan Day Planner, then spot-check nodes with Error or Pending approval
* Use **Cowork Layers** to widen or narrow whose employees you see (My area through Full org)
* For deeper per-run insight (planner notes, token/credit breakdown), open a run from the drawer — see [Advanced Monitoring](/en/cowork/digital-employees/monitoramento-avancado/advanced-monitoring.md)
