Getting Oriented with ModelOp Center’s Command Center

This article describes the components of the Command Center which appear on the Dashboard. The ModelOp Command Center is the user interface that allows access to Model Op's features, functions, and assets.

Table of Contents

 

Introduction

The ModelOp Command Center displays a single screen with access to all of the tools to monitor and manage your models. The components on the Dashboard include the three panes in the middle of the screen, the notifications pane below, and the four icons in the menu on the left.

Models Pane

On the Models pane, you can see the current status of the models in your system. The Models pane shows:

  • The number of models that are currently registered. This is the number of models being managed.  

  • The number of models that are currently running in an ModelOp Runtime

  • The number of model tests that have failed

  • The number of those failures that are errors in the model as opposed to system or MLC errors

You can click on a category that is populated to filter the notifications to see details related to that category. For instance, if Test Failures shows the number 2, you can click on the number to filter the notifications below to just those associated with test failures.

Processes Pane

The Processes pane displays how many MLC processes are currently deployed and any incidents or errors associated with the MLC processes.

The MLC Processes

Each MLC Process has built in monitoring tasks that report events and errors to the Command Center. This pane displays the following:

  • The number of defined MLC Processes

  • The number of reported incidents

  • The number of active MLC Processes

  • The number of MLC Process errors

Runtimes Pane

The Runtimes pane displays information about the runtimes available to the system. These are the environments where models are deployed.

This pane displays how many runtimes are available, active, idle, and if there are any runtime errors.

Notifications Pane

The notifications pane displays a real-time list of all notifications across the ModelOp Center system. This includes informational notifications as well as alerts that require immediate attention. Per the prior sections, the notifications pane can be filtered by clicking one of the items in the Models, Processes, or Runtimes pane.

Main Menu Bar

The Main Menu Bar is meant to provide quick access to all of the Models, MLC Processes, Runtimes, and Tasks across the enterprise ModelOps program. See below for details of each section.

Tasks and Alerts

The Tasks and Alerts screen has two tabs, My Tasks and Approvals.

My Tasks

Tasks are defined as User Tasks in the MLC Process. They are typically configured to assign tasks to a specific group. A person within this group can then decide to take ownership of that task and execute it to completion.

Tasks are things a user has to do - such as approve a model or acknowledge a failed test - so that the MLC Process can move forward.

The My Tasks page filters tasks in two categories:

  • All Open Tasks

  • Tasks in Progress

Approvals

  • My active Tasks - # outstanding

  • ds_team - awaiting assignment - # outstanding

  • python_approvers - awaiting assignment - # outstanding

  • r_approvers - awaiting assignment - # outstanding

  • other_approvers - awaiting assignment - 0 outstanding

Runtimes

The Runtimes screen has the following tabs:

Jobs

Displays how many jobs are running, how many have failed, how many were successful and the total.

Runtime Dashboard

 Displays high level status for all currently deployed runtimes, each in it’s own pane. Click on the pane for access to details about that Runtime. Tabs under the Runtime Dashboard pane include:

  • Details - displays the name and type of the runtime, identifying tags, its current state, release number, and when it was last updated

  • Deployed Model - displays information about the model deployed on the runtime, if any

  • Platform - platform information including libraries installed on the platform

  • Endpoints - lists assigned input and output endpoints. You can also add new input and output endpoints on this screen.

  • Live View - details about the Edpoint Throughput, CPU Utilization, and System Resource Usage

Runtime Stats

 Lists all available runtimes. Click through a runtime for details about that runtime.

Models

Tabs under the Models icon are Model Details, Model Tests and Champion/Challenger tabs.

Model Details

The following table describes the details available under the Model Details tab. These fields are available only after you select a model from the list.

Model Info

Displays the name of the model, the description, and any tags applied to the model.

Model Source

Source code that defines the model.

Attachments

Attachments are typically training artifacts that get loaded into the model, but can be any other file required to execute the model.

Input Schemas

Defines the parameters of what is passed to the model.

Output Schemas

Defines the parameters and format of what is passed from the model.

Model Functions

Defines the entry points into the model for initialization, training, metrics testing, and scoring.

Model Platform

Lists the dependencies used by the model.

Model Tests

Lists the models in the system. Click a model to access the results of tests on that model.

Click on a test to see visualizations of the tests. The visualizations available depend on the tests built into a MLC Process.

Champion/Challenger

Champion/Challenger is an industry standard technique to compare the performance of competing model strategies, or the performance of a recently updated model against a previous version of the same model.

Lists the models in the system. Click a model to access the results of tests on that model and choose two tests two compare them against each other.

See the Champion/Challenger article for more details.

Model Life Cycle

The Model Life Cycle screen has two tabs, MLC Overview and MLC Processes.

The MLC Overview tab displays information about all the activities being handled by the MLC Manager.

  • Active MLC Processes

  • Total Incidents

  • Total Tasks

  • Runtime information

  • Oldest Tasks information

The MLC Processes tab displays the diagrams of the MLC Processes that are currently deployed into the MLC Manager.
