The sidebar groups pages by the task you want to complete. Each page belongs to one category; pinned shortcuts are independent and keep their saved order.
| Category | Pages |
|---|---|
| Monitoring | Overview, Home Internet, Service Health, Flows, Live Feed, Alerts, Schedules |
| Network | Devices, Interfaces, Topology, L2 Fabric, CAPsMAN, Service Routing |
| Users & VPN | Clients, OpenVPN, RADIUS & UM |
| Diagnostics | Investigations, Client Check, Round-trip Lab, Simulator, Packets, Flight Recorder, Support Bundles |
| Security | Attacks, Vulnerabilities, Policies |
| Router configuration | Explain, Change Plan, Transactions, Drift Guard |
| Backup & recovery | Snapshots, Backups, S3 Backups, Router Migration, Recovery Lab |
| MCP workspace | Prompts, Memory, Modules, Access Scope, Config, Releases |
Finding a page
- The active page opens its category automatically. Category headings show item counts and can be expanded independently. Navigation scrolls its active link into view without moving the main page.
- Find a page searches page names, descriptions, categories and common terms.
For example:
wififinds CAPsMAN,user managerfinds RADIUS & UM,mcp permissionsfinds Access Scope, andservice probesfinds Config. - Search is local to navigation; it does not query router data. All words must match, ignoring case. Clear the search to restore the normal category list.
- Use the pin beside any page to keep a shortcut above the categories.
- Existing hash links such as
#openvpn,#aaaand#capsmanare unchanged.
Config and Access Scope configure the MCP server and its permissions. Router configuration contains tools for understanding, planning and auditing changes on a router. Simulator belongs to Diagnostics because it traces a hypothetical packet without applying router changes.
Maintaining the menu
ui/observability/navigation-sections.ts owns the category order, membership and
search aliases. Page labels and route IDs remain in navigation.ts. The sidebar,
page breadcrumb and header category all use this same category metadata.
When adding a page, assign it to exactly one category and update the navigation tests. Do not rename a route ID just to move its menu entry: bookmarks and saved pins use those IDs.
