Management Overview

The Management section includes tools for maintaining and securing OpenObserve operations. Most of them live under Settings in the left navigation: manage running queries, handle encryption keys, redact sensitive data, and monitor node-level performance and resource metrics. Alert destinations and templates are under Reliability, and audit trails are stored in the audit stream.
