Account Setup
Create your FixPanic account and set up your first cluster
Before deploying agents, you need to create a FixPanic account and set up a cluster to organize your infrastructure.
Create Your Account
1. Sign Up
Navigate to app.fixpanic.com/signup and enter your email address and a secure password.
2. Verify Your Email
Check your inbox for a verification email and click the confirmation link to activate your account.
3. Log In
Once verified, log in at app.fixpanic.com to access the dashboard.
Create Your First Cluster
A Cluster is a logical grouping of resources where your agents run. Think of it as an environment (like "Production" or "Staging") that contains one or more agents.
1. Navigate to Clusters
From the dashboard sidebar, click on Clusters.
2. Create a New Cluster
Click the "Create Cluster" button in the top right.
3. Configure Your Cluster
Enter a name for your cluster (e.g., "Production-East" or "Dev-Environment").
Optionally, add a description to help identify the cluster's purpose.
4. Save Your Credentials
After clicking "Create", you'll receive:
- Agent ID: A unique identifier for deploying agents to this cluster
- API Key: The authentication key for your agents
Important: Save these credentials immediately! The API key is only shown once and cannot be retrieved later.
Understanding Your Credentials
| Credential | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Agent ID | Identifies which cluster an agent belongs to | clust_abc123def456 |
| API Key | Authenticates the agent with the platform | sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
These credentials are used when deploying agents via the CLI:
fixpanic agent install \
--agent-id="clust_abc123def456" \
--api-key="sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxx"Dashboard Overview
Once logged in, you'll see the main dashboard with:
- System Overview: Active agents, cluster health, and credit balance
- Agent Grid: Quick access to your most recently active agents
- Sidebar Navigation: Access to Clusters, Agents, Team, and Settings
Billing & Credits
FixPanic uses a credit-based billing system:
- Wallet: Your balance of available credits
- Usage: Credits consumed based on agent runtime
- Top-ups: Purchase additional credits as needed
You can manage your subscription and view transaction history in Settings > Billing.
Note: New accounts typically include starter credits to help you get started. Check your wallet balance in the dashboard.
Next Steps
Now that your account is set up and you have a cluster with credentials, you're ready to deploy your first agent.
