Console Overview

The MACHHUB web console is the browser app you use to operate the platform: build collections, manage the Unified Namespace, view the Historian, and administer users. It is a single-page app that talks to the REST API and subscribes to tags over MQTT-over-WebSocket.

The console Home dashboard after login.

Signing in

Open the console URL and sign in with your username and password. On success you land on the Home dashboard. Your session (a JWT) is kept in the browser; signing out clears it. See Logging in & domains.

The shell

Domain switcher

At the top of the sidebar is the domain switcher. A Domain is a tenant: the built-in MACHHUB / Administrator domain, plus any Application domains you create. Switching domains changes what data and which navigation sections you see.

Navigation

The sidebar groups the platform into sections:

Section	Pages	What you do there
Home	dashboard	See counts (users, groups, tags) and license status.
Applications (admin domain)	list	Deploy and manage your Applications (start/stop, ports); add their backing domains.
Dashboard	no-code dashboards	Build and view widget dashboards.
Flows	Node-RED servers	Manage your MACHHUB-managed Node-RED servers.
Processes	serverless functions	Author and run Python/TypeScript processes.
Account	Users, Groups, Permissions, Developer Keys	Manage people, permissions, and machine credentials.
Namespace	Manage, Historian	Edit the UNS and view history.
Connections	Upstreams, Downstreams, MQTT	Bridge to other MACHHUB instances and inspect MQTT clients.
Integration	Data Source	Connect external Node-RED, OPC UA, and SECS/GEM sources.
Database	Collections	Build schemas and edit records.
Settings	General, Gateway, Firewall, Network, License, Backups, Storage, Log	Device, network, backup, and licensing settings.
Support	Logs	Inspect server logs.

What you see depends on your domain

In the admin domain you see all sections (plus Applications, Settings, and Support). In an Application domain the navigation focuses on Account, Namespace, Connections, Integration, and Database.

The same rule applies to a section’s contents: in the admin domain, sections like Applications, Flows, Processes, Account, Connections, and Database show resources across all domains; in an Application domain they show only the resources that domain owns.

User menu

At the bottom of the sidebar, the user menu shows your name and email, a light/dark theme toggle, Edit Profile, and Log out.
