Dashboard

The dashboard is available at /<HELIX_PATH> (default: /helix). It helps you inspect indexes, browse records, review activity, and manage snapshots.

What you can do

• View all indexes and their status.
• Inspect index stats and disk usage.
• Browse and paginate records.
• Create, restore, and delete snapshots.
• Visualize records (2D projection of the first two dimensions).

Access control

Define the gate in your app:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

Gate::define('viewHelix', fn ($user) => $user?->isAdmin());

Notes:

• By default, Helix defines viewHelix to allow access only in the local environment.
• You can disable the gate with HELIX_GATE=false and/or customize middleware.

Middleware

The dashboard uses the middleware list from helix.middleware (default: ['web']). To add auth:

// config/helix.php
'middleware' => ['web', 'auth'],

Route path

Change the path with:

HELIX_PATH=admin/helix

The dashboard will then be available at /admin/helix.
