title: Monitoring Project Progress
---

ClearML provides a comprehensive set of monitoring tools to help effectively track and manage machine learning projects. 
These tools offer both high-level overviews and detailed insights into task execution, resource 
utilization, and project performance.


## Project Overview

A project's **OVERVIEW** tab in the UI presents a general picture of a project: 
* Metric Snapshot – A graphical representation of selected metric values across project tasks, offering a quick assessment of progress.
* Task Status Tracking – When a single metric variant is selected for the snapshot, task status is color-coded (e.g., 
Completed, Aborted, Published, Failed) for better visibility.

Use the Metric Snapshot to track project progress and identify trends in task performance.

For more information, see [Project Overview](../webapp/webapp_project_overview.md).

## Project Dashboard 

:::info Pro Plan Offering
The Project Dashboard app is available under the ClearML Pro plan.
:::

The [**Project Dashboard**](../webapp/applications/apps_dashboard.md) UI application provides a centralized 
view of project progress, task statuses, resource usage, and key performance metrics. It offers:
* Comprehensive insights:
  * Track task statuses and trends over time. 
  * Monitor GPU utilization and worker activity. 
  * Analyze performance metrics. 
* Proactive alerts - By integrating with Slack, the Dashboard can notify teams of task failures 
  and completions.

For more information, see [Project Dashboard](../webapp/applications/apps_dashboard.md).

## Slack Alerts

ClearML allows you to monitor tasks and send notifications based on specific conditions or events using the [`clearml.automation.Monitor`](https://github.com/clearml/clearml/blob/master/clearml/automation/monitor.py) 
class. By extending this class, you can:

* Send notifications via Slack or other channels
* Trigger automated responses based on specific task conditions

ClearML provides an example Slackbot built using the [`Monitor`](https://github.com/clearml/clearml/blob/master/clearml/automation/monitor.py) class. The Slackbot does the following:

* Monitors task status (completion, failure, etc.)
* Sends notifications to a specified Slack channel
* Retrieves task details such as status, console logs, and links to the ClearML Web UI

You can configure filters for task types and projects to reduce unnecessary notifications.

For a full example and detailed setup, see the [Slack Alerts Example](../guides/services/slack_alerts.md).
