View the terminal dashboard | Passport from Postman

The terminal dashboard is a live, interactive view of your daemon’s status, proxied traffic, and certificate grants, running directly in your terminal.

Open the dashboard

Run passport to open it:

passport

You can customize the display using options such as --theme, --no-animation, and --ascii. For all display options, see Options.

Review the dashboard

The terminal dashboard displays the following sections:

Status bar — Shows the CLI version, whether the daemon is online, a certificate warning (for example, a prompt to run passport setup if no certificate is provisioned), network and VPN status, the signed-in identity, and the current request count.

Activity graph — A graph of daemon (dmn) and CLI (cli) request activity over time, including proxied, bypassed, and denied counts, success and failure counts, and the peak rate.

Summary — Tunnel count, bytes proxied, requests handled, requests rejected, and daemon uptime.

Traffic by host and Traffic by app — Panels showing request counts grouped by destination host and by the mechanism that routed the request (daemon for traffic routed through the local daemon, versus a direct passport request call).

Grants — The secret references encoded in your current certificate, each shown with its secret store provider and the endpoint it’s scoped to.

Failed secrets — Any secret resolution failures.

System — Connection and identity details: certificate validity countdown (with the r shortcut to renew), proxy connection status and upstream host, the daemon’s traffic-handling mode (cycles through permissive, strict, and allow-all), and the daemon’s process ID.

Errors — Recent error messages, if any.

Connection log — A live table of recent proxied connections:

Column	Description
Time	Timestamp of the connection.
From	Whether the connection came through the daemon (`dmn`) or directly from the CLI (`cli`).
Action	The action taken for the connection, for example `PROXY`.
URL	The request URL, for example `CONN postman-echo.com` for a proxied CONNECT tunnel.
App	The client application that made the request, when identified. Shows `-` otherwise.
OK	Whether the request succeeded.
Latency	Request latency.

Keyboard shortcuts

Key	Action
`s`	Start or stop the daemon.
`r`	Force-renew the client certificate.
`m`	Cycle the daemon’s traffic-handling mode: `permissive` → `strict` → `allow-all`.
`a`	Add a host to the allowlist.
`x`	Remove a host from the allowlist.
`w`	Cycle the time window: `1m` → `5m` → `15m` → `30m`.
`p`	Toggle the proxy-only filter (hide direct connections and denials).
`T`	Cycle the color theme.
`↑` / `↓`	Scroll the connection log.
`?`	Toggle the help screen.
`q`	Quit the terminal dashboard.
