# Control Panel

![Sidecar Configuration](https://2512473607-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LsNFVozLgvw3NDMzxBg%2Fsync%2F668b5f8306fc1425d010e3cde39a924a58322bc7.png?generation=1605196244208242\&alt=media)

The Control Panel allows users to interact with several Grey Matter features: change business impact settings, view the service's proxy configurations and manage service level objectives (SLOs) on specific metrics within each service. The Control Panel is available by clicking on the "settings" icon on a service card (see [docs](https://github.com/DecipherNow/gm-gitbook-sync/tree/67f01da6abfff2a41154f6b20dd0331d0b346f61/usage/sense/summaryView.md#service-icons) for more information) and persists through every view in the application. It can be closed at any time by clicking on the "x" on the top right.

## Business Impact

The [Business Impact](businessimpact) section allows users to configure how important any given service is to their business.

## Proxy

The Proxy tab in the Control Panel shows users read-only configuration of the Grey Matter Sidecar and route objects which are part of the configuration for all proxies for the service.

* listeners
* routes

> NOTE: Only selected filters are currently displayed in the side panel. This is to prevent spillage of potentially sensitive information.

## SLO

Service Level Objectives [(SLOs)](slo) let users set performance thresholds on collected service metrics. If a service performs worse than the set threshold (i.e. if memory utilization is 60 MB but we have set a SLO for 100 MB), then an SLO violation is recorded and displayed in the Service Summary page. Read the [SLO](slo) page for more information on setting and viewing SLOs.
