|
|
|
|
### 📊 **Monitoring Metrics**
|
|
1. **Memory Usage**: Process memory in MB and percentage
|
|
2. **CPU Usage**: Process CPU utilization percentage
|
|
3. **System Memory**: Overall system memory usage and available space
|
|
4. **Cache Information**: Template cache size and cooldown entries
|
|
5. **Performance**: Average automation loop execution time
|
|
|
|
### 🔄 **Real-Time Updates**
|
|
- **2-Second Refresh**: Resource display updates every 2 seconds
|
|
- **Non-Blocking**: Updates don't interfere with automation performance
|
|
- **Automatic Monitoring**: Starts immediately when application launches
|
|
|
|
### 🎨 **Visual Design**
|
|
- **Color-Coded Status**:
|
|
- 🟢 Green: Normal/Good performance
|
|
- 🟡 Orange: Warning levels
|
|
- 🔴 Red: High usage/Performance issues
|
|
- ⚫ Gray: Unavailable metrics
|
|
- **Compact Layout**: Fits seamlessly into existing UI
|
|
- **Professional Styling**: Consistent with application theme
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 📝 **Usage Instructions**
|
|
|
|
### Basic Usage
|
|
1. **View Resources**: Resource panel is visible by default at the bottom of the main window
|
|
2. **Toggle Display**: Click "Hide Resources" button to minimize screen usage
|
|
3. **Monitor Status**: Watch color changes for performance alerts
|
|
|
|
### Enhanced Monitoring
|
|
1. **Install psutil**: Run `pip install psutil` (already added to requirements.txt)
|
|
2. **Restart App**: Close and reopen VisionFlow Automator
|
|
3. **Full Metrics**: All detailed system information will be displayed
|
|
|
|
### Reading the Display
|
|
- **Memory**: Shows process memory usage (green < 10%, red > 10%)
|
|
- **CPU**: Shows process CPU usage (green < 50%, red > 50%)
|
|
- **System**: Shows system memory usage (green < 85%, red > 85%)
|
|
- **Cache**: Shows template cache size (blue normal, orange > 20 entries)
|
|
- **Performance**: Shows loop execution time (green < 500ms, red > 500ms)
|
|
|
|
## 🔧 **Technical Implementation**
|
|
|
|
### Code Changes
|
|
- Enhanced `get_memory_usage()` method with comprehensive metrics
|
|
- Added `_update_resource_display()` for UI updates
|
|
- Modified `_monitor_performance()` for real-time monitoring
|
|
- Added resource display widgets to main UI layout
|
|
- Implemented toggle functionality for space-saving
|
|
|
|
### Error Handling
|
|
- Graceful fallback when psutil unavailable
|
|
- Error display in resource panel for troubleshooting
|
|
- Maintains basic functionality even if monitoring fails
|
|
|
|
