Summary
Build a fully visual Machine Status Center accessible from the Settings menu — a Grafana/Datadog-style dashboard showing real-time machine health, service status, and system metrics. This goes beyond the basic health card originally proposed in #327 to become a comprehensive monitoring tool.
Split from #327 (part 3, expanded scope).
Data Sources
meticulous-watcher (port 3000)
GET /status — Health of all monitored services (7 services)
- System metrics: disk usage, memory, uptime, temperature
Machine API
- Firmware version, serial number, model info
- Network status (IP, hostname, signal strength)
Design Vision
A dedicated Status Center view (navigated from Settings → Machine Status) with a dashboard-style layout:
Service Health Grid
- Card per service with status indicator (green/yellow/red)
- Service name, uptime, last restart time
- Tap card for detail view with recent logs/errors
System Metrics Panel
- Disk usage — gauge/ring chart with used/total
- Memory usage — gauge/ring chart with used/total
- CPU/board temperature — live thermometer or sparkline
- Machine uptime — formatted duration since last boot
Network Status Card
- Connection type (WiFi/Ethernet)
- IP address, hostname
- Signal strength indicator (if WiFi)
Refresh & Auto-Update
- Auto-refresh every 30s with visual countdown
- Manual refresh button
- Last-updated timestamp
- Connection error state with retry
UX Considerations
- Dark theme friendly (dashboard aesthetic)
- Responsive: works on phone, tablet, and desktop
- Graceful degradation when watcher service is unavailable
- Available in all modes (server proxy, Capacitor) — fetches via machine API relay
