Dashboard Monitoring

How to read CookieFarm dashboard signals during an A/D competition.

Dashboard Monitoring

The dashboard is not a full SIEM. It is a fast operational view of flag pipeline health.

Signals to watch

  • continuous growth of UNSUBMITTED
  • sudden increase in DENIED
  • frequent response_time = 0
  • rising duration (response_time - submit_time)

Quick diagnostics

Too many UNSUBMITTED

Possible causes:

  • checker unreachable
  • wrong submission protocol
  • batch size too large

Actions:

  • verify url_flag_checker
  • verify protocol
  • reduce max_flag_batch_size

Too many DENIED

Possible causes:

  • stale exploit logic
  • wrong flag regex
  • target patched

Actions:

  • rerun ckc exploit test
  • compare exploit output with configured regex

No new flags

Possible causes:

  • exploit crashed
  • client CKP connection disconnected
  • target service down

Actions:

  • check exploit process (ckc exploit listrun)
  • inspect server/client logs
  • temporary fallback with -S
