Each Fleet displays its current status, region, and instance capacity, with options to view fleet configuration & stacks, sessions, and utilisation. The Stack Directory lists available stacks, their account and region, description, and associated fleet.

Administrators can also use Find a user session to locate session information or select Explore history to view more detailed application usage history

The Monthly Fleet Utilisation page, accessed by clicking Utilisation under the relevant fleet, provides an overview of fleet capacity, usage, and costs for the selected reporting month.

The page displays Average Utilisation, Peak Instances in Use, Users, and Recorded Hours, with graphs showing capacity trends throughout the month and for the latest day.
