Version: Spectra Analyze 10.0.0

Dashboard (New UI)

Classic UI documentation

For documentation of the classic Dashboard, see Dashboard.

Overview​

The Dashboard in the new Spectra Analyze UI serves as the primary landing page and file submission interface. It provides a streamlined, centered layout focused on file and URL submission and your recent submissions. The top search bar is not shown on the Dashboard.

Key differences from classic UI​

The new Dashboard focuses on file and URL submissions with a tabbed interface (Auto, File, URL, and Search tabs). Unlike the classic Dashboard, submission statistics, processing metrics, and classification distribution charts are not displayed on this page. To view these metrics, use the classic Dashboard.

Submission tabs​

The following tabs provide access to different submission and search methods:

  • Auto - Paste a URL, hash, domain, or IP address, or drop files to submit them (default tab)
  • File - Upload files for analysis
  • URL - Submit URLs for analysis
  • Search - Search for previously analyzed samples

When you switch tabs, the input field is cleared.

Above the tabs, the Try section lists example values, such as a file hash, a domain, and an IP address. Click an example to add it to the input field.

Auto tab​

The Auto tab is the default tab. Paste a URL, file hash, domain, or IP address in the input field and click the arrow button. Spectra Analyze searches for the value, and if a URL has not been analyzed before, submits it for analysis. Advanced Search queries are not supported on this tab. To run them, use the Search tab.

You can also drop one or more files below the input field to submit them for analysis. Archives are decomposed automatically.

URL tab​

The URL tab provides an interface for submitting URLs for analysis. Enter a URL in the text field and select Search to submit it for analysis. After submission, the Sample Details page opens displaying the analysis results for the submitted URL.

Search tab​

The Search tab provides a search interface for querying previously analyzed files. Enter a URL, IP address, domain, or file hash in the search field and select Search to execute the query. The search field includes placeholder text with syntax examples such as "try: classification:malicious".

Helper icons appear below the search field. The filter icon opens the quick search panel with advanced filtering options, and the lightbulb icon opens search suggestions and syntax help.

info

The Search tab uses the same search syntax and capabilities as the classic UI Advanced Search feature. See Advanced Search for query syntax details.

File submission area​

The File tab provides a drag and drop zone for uploading files, or you can select Choose files to browse and select files from your local system.

After selecting a file, a confirmation dialog appears showing the file hash (SHA256) and file size. Select Confirm upload to proceed with the submission, or Cancel to abort.

To customize the submission, expand Advanced Analysis Options to configure analysis settings. Available options include Static Analysis (Spectra Core), Threat Intelligence (Spectra Intelligence), and Dynamic Analysis (RL Cloud Sandbox). When Dynamic Analysis is selected, you can choose the platform from the platform drop-down menu. Select the desired analysis types before confirming the upload.

Your recent submissions​

Below the submission tabs, the Your recent submissions section lists your most recent file and URL submissions, newest first. Only top-level submissions are shown, not extracted files. Each row shows the sample hash, the file name, and how long ago it was submitted.

  • While a sample is being processed, its status shows Analyzing. If the analysis fails, hover over the error to see the reason.
  • The list refreshes automatically every 30 seconds.
  • Click a submission to open its report.
  • Click View all to open IoC Submissions with the My Submissions filter turned on.

If you have not submitted anything yet, the section shows the message "Nothing analyzed yet. Submit a file or URL above and it will show up here."

At the bottom of the page, links to the API documentation and your API key are available for automating submissions.

The left sidebar provides access to main application features:

  • Search - Search and dashboard functionality (home page)
  • IoC Submissions - View submission history and manage submitted indicators of compromise
  • YARA Hunt - Create and manage YARA rules for threat hunting
  • Graph - Visualize relationships between samples and entities (marked as "Classic")
  • API Key - Manage API authentication keys
  • Administration - System configuration and user management
  • Documentation - Access product documentation

The bottom of the left sidebar contains the following options:

  • Dark Mode / Light Mode - Switch between dark and light themes. If no theme is selected, the New UI follows your operating system or browser color scheme.
  • Expand / Collapse - Expand or collapse the sidebar. When collapsed, only icons are shown.
