1.6 KiB

Overview tab

Compact home dashboard for the active agent.

KPIs

Top strip shows live scalars (CPU, RAM, load, net, health), filled from history seed and live samples.

KPI Notes
CPU Percent used
RAM used Auto-scales B → KiB → MiB → GiB → TiB
Load 1m Plain load average
Net RX Auto-scales b/s → kb/s → Mb/s → Gb/s
Health Anomaly engine status (ok / degraded / critical) with tint

Sparks vs KPIs

Overview charts load from queryData history immediately; KPI labels sync from the same series so they are not stuck on while graphs already have data.

Spark panels

Six fixed panels (CPU, RAM, net, I/O, load, spotlight/explore):

  • Heights grow modestly with window size (clamp) so the pane prefers to fit without scrolling.
  • Series depth follows the Charts timeframe when Charts has an active window; otherwise Settings → Overview spark depth.

Fleet strip

When you have saved / linked hosts (or a parent fleet), a summary strip appears:

  • Per-host status and short metrics when available
  • Click through to activate / connect

Full management lives on the Fleet tab.

Spotlight / explore

The explore panel tracks a configurable chart id (Settings → Default spotlight chart, default system.io). Change it from Overview controls when present, or Settings.

Tips

  • Overview is for at-a-glance; deep investigation belongs on Charts.
  • If Overview feels cramped on a short display, the view may scroll — widen the window or collapse secondary chrome.
