# How can I see what's up and running?

The status of an Instance is visualized in the Instance Dashboard.

1. The individual process status is displayed with the according process - in the table row, or on the card, depending on the view mode.
2. The individual process status is displayed in even more detail when clicking a process in the Process Details Panel.
3. The overall Node state is displayed above the individual process list, and is also visible in collapsed mode. This overall status displays whether the current state is the expected state for a running instance. More explicitly this means if there is a green checkmark, all processes of start type INSTANCE are running.

The Process Control chapters provide more details about the individual process states along with a state graph that visualizes the life cycle of a process.
