Untangle's administration can be divided into two main parts, the '''Navigation Pane''' on the left and virtual '''Racks''' on the right.
There are four main tabs in the administration interface in the main menu:


The '''Navigation Pane''' contains two tabs - '''Apps''' and '''Config''', detailed below.
# [[Dashboard]]
The '''Apps''' tab on the left-hand side is used to learn more about applications and install applications into the "virtual rack." The '''Config''' tab contains several sections to configure the Untangle server's settings.
# [[Applications|Apps]]
# [[Config]]
# [[Reports]] (only visible if the [[Reports]] app is installed.)


Applications are installed into one or more virtual '''Racks''' on the right hand side, and filter the traffic passing through the Untangle server. Each application has a faceplate with a '''Settings''' button to configure it, current status information and a power button to toggle it on or off.
In the sub-menu there are four views:


Across the top there is a dropdown menu to switch to different '''Racks''' or use the [[Session Viewer]] and [[Host Viewer]], as well as readouts for network speed statistics, a count of open sessions, CPU, memory, and disk information.

If you see an alert icon near the top of the web GUI, hover over it for more information - these are [[Administrative Alerts]] designed to help you keep your Untangle healthy.
