📝 Usage Instructions
Basic Usage
- View Resources: Resource panel is visible by default at the bottom of the main window
- Toggle Display: Click "Hide Resources" button to minimize screen usage
- Monitor Status: Watch color changes for performance alerts
Enhanced Monitoring
- Install psutil: Run
pip install psutil(already added to requirements.txt) - Restart App: Close and reopen VisionFlow Automator
- 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
