System Pulse - Real-Time Hardware Monitoring Dashboard
Real-time system monitoring dashboard streaming CPU, RAM, disk, network, and process metrics with sub-second latency
Description
Real-time system monitoring dashboard streaming hardware and network metrics with sub-second latency.
Problem Solved
Building a production-quality system monitoring tool that provides instant feedback on hardware performance without overwhelming the UI or backend. Challenges included efficient polling intervals, WebSocket connection resilience, and rendering high-frequency data updates smoothly.
Architecture
Event-driven architecture with AsyncIO backend. Python psutil for hardware metrics collection. WebSocket server broadcasts metrics at configurable intervals. React frontend with optimized re-rendering for live charts. Threshold-based alerting system with visual and notification indicators.
