# Monitor & Manage Clusters

> Manage Clusters offers a comprehensive interface for configuring and monitoring GPU and CPU clusters, enabling users to optimize resource allocation and performance. With advanced management tools, users can efficiently deploy workloads, scale resources, and gain real-time insights into cluster health and utilization.

To access the dashboard, log into [io.net](http://io.net) and select **Manager Clusters**.

## View Your Cluster

To see all the details about your cluster, click on it in the **Cluster** tab.  The screenshot below highlights what you can expect to see in a hired, active cluster.

#### Clusters Tab

The **Clusters** tab provides a quick overview of all your clusters, both active and inactive.

#### Sort Clusters

Use the sorting options to find the cluster you're looking for easily. Sort by status (**Running, Completed, Failed, Destroyed**) or search by keyword.
