# Advanced Monitoring
> Deeper insight from the employee drawer and run detail — planner notes, performance summary, and per-run cost
## Overview
Beyond status badges and the Day Planner, Cowork exposes richer monitoring **inside the employee drawer and run detail** — not on a separate analytics dashboard.
Use these views when you need to understand *how* an employee has been working, *how reliably*, and *at what cost*.
## Performance summary (drawer)
The employee drawer includes an aggregate summary for that employee:
* Total runs and split between succeeded and failed
* Success rate over all recorded runs
* Average run duration
* Total credits consumed
These numbers update as new runs complete. Use them to spot drift — rising failures, slower runs, or climbing credit use — before opening individual run details.
## Planner notes (run detail)
Some employees maintain a **planner journal**: compact summaries of recent heartbeats that help the employee stay oriented across runs without keeping an enormous chat context.
When enabled for your workspace, journal entries appear in **run detail** for eligible runs — a readable digest of what the employee planned and did, plus any open threads it flagged for itself.
Planner journal is a workspace capability that may be off by default. If you do not see it, your admin has not enabled it yet.
## Per-run cost and usage
Each run detail shows credits used and, when available, token counts and the model that handled the work. Compare runs to tune:
* Work instructions (shorter, clearer tasks often cost less)
* Model choice in Advanced settings
* Work Cycle frequency (fewer wakes → lower steady spend)
Credit limits configured on the employee (daily/monthly caps) are described in [Detailed Configuration](/en/cowork/digital-employees/configuracao-detalhada/detailed-configuration).
## Goal progress signals
When goal tracking is active, the drawer may surface how the employee reports progress against its stated goal. Treat large gaps between expected and reported progress as a review trigger — adjust instructions or Work Mode rather than assuming silent success.
## When to go deeper vs stay in Mission Control
| Question | Where to look |
| ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| What needs action right now? | Day Planner + node badges |
| Is this employee healthy overall? | Drawer performance summary |
| Why did one run fail or cost too much? | Timeline → run detail |
| What did it plan across several heartbeats? | Run detail planner notes (when enabled) |
