Dashboard & System Observability

The ActonOS Dashboard serves as the primary cockpit for monitoring agent activity, system telemetry, resource consumption, and background automations in real time.

1. Top Telemetry Bar​

The top telemetry header provides a continuous pulse on the physical or containerized host:

  • CPU Usage Gauge: Real-time multi-core processor load, updated every 2 seconds via WebSocket snapshot.
  • RAM Allocation: Active memory consumption vs. total physical capacity (e.g., 1.8 GB / 16 GB).
  • Disk Storage: Used vs. available storage on the persistent /data volume.
  • HAL Mode Badge: Displays whether the system is running in Bare-metal (bwrap) or Docker Container mode.
  • Chip Temperature (Bare-metal): Direct thermal sensor readout from the motherboard D-Bus interface.

2. Active Agents Overview​

The central cards display all currently registered agents:

  • Agent Avatar & Name: Quick-glance identification.
  • State Indicator:
    • 🟒 Idle - Agent is awaiting input or scheduled pulse.
    • 🟑 Executing Tool - Agent is actively calling an MCP, WASM, or Native tool.
    • 🟣 Delegated - Agent is coordinating subtasks across a child swarm.
    • πŸ”΄ Approval Required - Agent execution is paused awaiting human clearance.
  • Quick Action: Click any agent card to jump directly into a dedicated Chat session or open its configuration in Agent Studio.

3. Global Command Palette (Ctrl + K)​

Press Ctrl + K (or Cmd + K on macOS) from anywhere within ActonOS to launch the Omnisearch Command Palette:

  • Quick Navigation: Jump instantly to any page (Chat, Missions, Plugins, Skills, Settings, Terminal).
  • Agent Direct Search: Type an agent name to initiate an immediate chat session.
  • File Locator: Locate and open files in the Workspace without navigating the folder tree.
  • Quick Actions: Trigger manual System Backup, Heartbeat Pulse, or Session Lock.

4. Pending Approvals Banner​

When an autonomous agent attempts a high-risk mutation (such as modifying system files, executing unknown shell commands, or sending outbound email broadcasts), an amber alert banner appears across the dashboard:

  • Action Preview: Displays the exact tool name, target path/URL, and parameter payload.
  • Approving / Rejecting: Click Approve (with optional audit reason) to resume execution from its exact checkpoint, or Reject to abort the action safely.
