# 3.3 Dashboard Console
A centralized dashboard providing real-time visibility into the health, performance, and operational status of your Kafka infrastructure.
The **LivestreamIQ Dashboard** provides a centralized overview of the Kafka environment, enabling administrators and operators to monitor cluster health, broker status, message activity, and key operational metrics in real time. It serves as the primary landing page, offering quick access to critical insights and helping users identify the overall status of their Kafka infrastructure at a glance.

Follow the steps below to switch between environments and Kafka clusters.
Step 1 : Click Select Clusters from the Dashboard.
Step 2: Select the required environments (e.g., DEV, SIT, UAT, PREPROD, PROD, or DR).
