# Gyro Console: all your cloud resources on one screen

https://www.gyrohosting.com/en/knowledgebase/article/gyro-konsol

- **What you will learn**: How to find resources in Gyro Console, create new resources (one or many) without leaving the console, name and tag resources, go from a resource's detail page to its management tools, search, and project filtering.
- **Time**: 5 minutes

## 1. What is Gyro Console?

**My Services** lists every service (hosting, domains, licences, servers…) in one list. **Gyro Console** splits your cloud resources by type; each type has its own list and detail page, like the consoles of the large cloud providers.

Open it with **Gyro Console** right below **Dashboard** in the left menu. If you have cloud resources, a one-line console summary also appears at the top of the **Dashboard**.

The overview shows:

- **Summary:** number of resources, resources that need attention and this month's estimated cost.
- **Applications:** one tile per resource type with count, status and monthly cost.
- **Quick create:** server, environment, load balancer, DNS zone, storage and monitoring; a click opens the **Quick create** window inside the console (Section 3).
- **Recent activity** and **Developer access** (API keys, documentation, `gyro` CLI).

## 2. Sections

| Section | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| **Servers** | Gyro Cloud Istanbul, Gyro Cloud (global), Turkey VDS and dedicated servers in one list; filter by region, type and status |
| **Containers** | Gyro Containers environments, serverless containers, active alerts |
| **Image Registry** | Your private registry per environment with a `docker push` example |
| **Security Groups** | All your security groups, their rules and attached servers |
| **IP Addresses** | Primary and additional IPv4/IPv6 addresses with reverse DNS (PTR) |
| **Load Balancers** | Region, IP, services, targets and certificates |
| **DNS Zones** | Your zones on Gyro DNS |
| **Object Storage** | Your buckets (standard and protected) and quota usage |
| **Monitoring** | Your uptime monitoring plans |

**New …** at the top of each section (**New group** under Security Groups) opens the **Quick create** window inside the console, without the store (Section 3). Lists show 25 rows per page; on mobile, tables turn into cards. Filter lists by status, region, type and **tag**.

**Status labels:** *Active*, *Warning*, *Suspended*, *Provisioning*. "Warning" means, for example, renewal is less than 7 days away, a container alert is firing, a DNS zone awaits verification, storage quota is above 90% or a security group opens a management or database port to everyone.

## 3. Quick create: new resources without leaving the console (one or many)

Create resources in a few clicks without the storefront, cart or checkout pages. You can create many resources of the same plan (e.g. 22 container environments) **at once**.

1. Click **New …** in a section (or a **Quick create** shortcut on the overview). The window opens inside the console.
2. Choose the **region** (servers: Istanbul hourly prepaid, regions abroad monthly) and the **plan**. Cards show vCPU, RAM, disk and price: the amount in your account currency with the fixed euro price in brackets.
3. For servers choose the **operating system** and optionally a **one-click app**; for monthly plans choose the **billing cycle**.
4. Type a **name (nickname)**. In a batch `{n}` becomes the sequence number: `gyro-ecs-{n}` → `gyro-ecs-1`, `gyro-ecs-2`… (without `{n}`, `-1`, `-2` is appended). Optionally add **tags** (comma separated, e.g. `production, web`).
5. Choose the **project** (default: the project selected in the top bar) and the **quantity** (at most 25 at once; each is a separate service, all created in **one order**).
6. Check the **Summary**, tick the **Distance Sales Agreement and Preliminary Information Form** box and press **Create**.
7. The window shows the setup progress live (e.g. "18 / 22 ready"). You can close it; setup continues.

**How is it paid?**

- **Prepaid resources** (Gyro Cloud Istanbul, Gyro Containers): no invoice, usage is charged hourly from your balance. Your balance must cover the **first 24 hours** of the chosen quantity; the summary shows the amount needed and how many your balance covers. If it does not, use **Top up balance**, then continue in the window.
- **Monthly/yearly resources** (Gyro Cloud abroad, load balancer, Gyro DNS Pro, Object Storage, monitoring): paid from your balance when it covers the total, setup starts at once. Otherwise the order is created **with an invoice** and the window shows **Go to payment**; the resources are set up automatically once paid.
- New accounts are limited in their first days (e.g. at most 1 container environment in the first 7 days); the summary shows what is left. Open a support ticket to raise it.

The **security group** window only asks for a name and description; groups are free and created empty, add rules on a server's **Firewall** tab.

## 4. Naming and tagging resources

In lists and on the detail page, click the **pencil** next to a resource's name (**Name it** when it has none), type a **name (nickname)** and **tags**, and **Save**. The name becomes the title in lists and on the service page, with the Gyro product name and service number in small text below. Filter and search lists by tag. See [Service names and tags](https://www.gyrohosting.com/en/knowledgebase/article/hizmet-takma-ad-ve-etiket).

## 5. Managing a resource

1. Click the resource name or **Open** in the list.
2. The detail page shows general information (type, region, size, operating system, IP, monthly cost), IP addresses and attached security groups.
3. The shortcuts in the **Manage** box (for example *Console (VNC)*, *Additional IP and PTR*, *Snapshots and templates*, *Change plan*, *Reinstall*, *Firewall*) open the matching tool on the service page.
4. **Back to Gyro Console** at the top of the service page takes you back in one click.

The console never changes anything by itself; every action runs in the service page tools with the same permissions and confirmations. Invoices, renewals and service pages work as before.

## 6. Search

Type a server name, IP address, PTR record, domain, bucket, security group, nickname, tag or `#service-id` into the search box at the top (shortcut `/`). Results are grouped by section.

## 7. Using it with projects

When you pick a project in the **project switcher** in the top bar, the console shows only that project's resources: servers, IP addresses, containers and the rest are filtered. Security groups follow the project of the servers they are attached to. Switch back to **All projects** to see everything. See [Projects](https://www.gyrohosting.com/en/knowledgebase/article/projeler-hizmetleri-gruplama).

## 8. Frequently asked questions

**Does the console replace My Services?**

No. My Services, invoices and service pages stay as they are. The console is an additional view for cloud resources.

**Can I see whether a server is powered on?**

The console status is the service status (active, suspended, provisioning). Power state and graphs are in the **Management** tool on the service page.

**How is cost calculated?**

Monthly equivalent for recurring (monthly, yearly) services; the amount actually deducted from your balance this month for prepaid (hourly) services. Amounts are in your account currency.

**Can sub-users use the console?**

Sub-users who can view services can open it. Actions in the tools need the manage services permission.

**How many resources can I create at once?**

At most 25 per request in the Quick create window and the API. Repeat for more; open a support ticket if you need a different limit.

**Is a batch one invoice?**

Yes, everything is created in one order. Prepaid resources have no invoice; monthly resources get one invoice. Each resource is still a separate service, managed and deleted on its own.

**Can I do the same with the API, CLI or Terraform?**

Yes: `POST /cloud/servers` and `POST /cloud/containers` (`quantity`, `name`, `tags`) in the API, `gyro server create gyro-web-{n} --count 3 …` and `gyro container create --plan mini-1-1 --count 3 --name "gyro-ecs-{n}"` in the CLI, `count` in Terraform.

**I have no cloud resources. Is the console useful?**

It opens with empty tiles and "create" shortcuts, so you can create your first resource right from the console. If you only use hosting and domains, the **Dashboard** and **My Services** are enough.
