Header

The header contains:

Sidenav

The sidebar provides navigation across Cerbera AI. It is a permanent drawer on desktop and a collapsible drawer on tablet and mobile.

Section	Views
Home	Dashboard overview
Alerts	Rule matches and activity, drillable by user, application, provider, MCP server, tool, or session
AI Registry	Inventory of AI providers, applications, MCP servers, packages, users, and sessions
Agent Activity	Risky command and file-access signals, and agent posture
Rules	The allow / monitor / redact / block rule catalog
Deployment	Roll out and manage the proxy across your fleet
Settings	Default policies, block page, value lists, and data requests

The sidebar also includes a workspace selector at the top and a search button that opens the Command Menu (⌘K / Ctrl+K).

Shortcut	Action
H	Go to Home
K	Open Command Menu (search everything)

tip

The Command Menu (K) is the fastest way to navigate. Start typing to search for pages, actions, or settings.

Command Menu

The Command Menu provides universal search across:

• Pages - Navigate to any page
• Actions - Quick actions (create a rule, export, etc.)
• Settings - Configuration options
• Help - Documentation and support

Using Command Menu

1. Press K to open
2. Start typing your query
3. Use arrow keys to select
4. Press Enter to navigate

Tables and Data Views

Most views use consistent table patterns:

• Search - Filter by text across columns
• Filters - Dropdown filters for specific fields
• Sorting - Click column headers to sort
• Pagination - Navigate through large datasets
• Bulk Actions - Select multiple rows for batch operations

URL State

Table state is preserved in the URL, so filtered views are bookmarkable and shareable, and browser back/forward works.

Modals and Dialogs

Actions often open in modals: Create for new rules, Edit for modifications, Detail for viewing an alert, and Confirmation dialogs for destructive actions. Press Escape to close, or use Tab to navigate form fields.

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs appear at the top of pages showing your location:

Home > Cerbera AI > Rules > Flag ChatGPT personal accounts

Click any breadcrumb to navigate back.

Responsive Design

Cerbera adapts to different screen sizes: a full sidebar on desktop, a collapsed icon sidebar on tablet, and limited navigation on mobile.

warning

Some advanced features are only available on desktop. For the best experience, use Cerbera on a desktop browser.

Dark Mode

Toggle dark mode from the user menu or system preferences. Both themes are fully supported.
