# Monitor Dashboard Command

## Command: `/monitor:dashboard`

**Simple launcher** that starts a monitoring dashboard in the background and opens the web browser.

## How It Works

1. **Always Fresh**: Copies latest dashboard from plugin installation every time
2. **No Version Checks**: Simple direct copy ensures you always run the newest version
3. **Silent Launch**: Command executes dashboard.py with minimal console output
4. **Background Process**: Starts Flask server in background without blocking
5. **Auto Browser**: Opens default browser to dashboard URL automatically

**NEW v7.5.1**: Always copies latest dashboard from plugin to ensure unified version with all 5 tabs.

**CRITICAL**: This command executes with minimal console reporting. Dashboard interface shows all metrics.

## Usage

### Basic Usage
```bash
# Launch monitoring dashboard in background (default)
/monitor:dashboard

# Launch with custom port
/monitor:dashboard --port 8080

# Launch with external access (trusted networks only)
/monitor:dashboard --host 0.0.0.0

# Launch with custom data directory
/monitor:dashboard --data-dir /path/to/patterns

# Check if dashboard is running
/monitor:dashboard --status

# Stop running dashboard
/monitor:dashboard --stop
```

### Advanced Options
```bash
# Launch with debug mode (foreground for debugging)
/monitor:dashboard --debug

# Launch with custom refresh rate
/monitor:dashboard --refresh-rate 30

# Generate report without launching server
/monitor:dashboard --report-only

# Force restart if already running
/monitor:dashboard --restart
```

**Expected Performance**: Command completes in 1-2 seconds with dashboard running in background and browser automatically opened. No console output.

## Command Behavior and Implementation

### Direct Execution (No Agent Delegation)

**CRITICAL**: This command executes the dashboard directly without agent delegation to prevent duplicate launches.

1. **Direct Python Call**: `python <plugin_path>/lib/dashboard.py` (no agents involved)
2. **Background Process**: Runs Flask server completely in background
3. **Auto Browser**: Opens browser automatically (once only)
4. **Silent Operation**: No console reporting or status messages
5. **Web Interface**: All metrics available through dashboard only

### Implementation

**Bash-First with Python Fallback (Most Reliable)**:
```bash
# Try bash approach first (Unix-like systems)
if command -v bash >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    bash -c '
    # Step 1: Discover plugin installation
    if command -v find >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        PLUGIN_DIR=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/LLM-Autonomous-Agent-Plugin-for-Claude ~/.config/claude/plugins/marketplaces/LLM-Autonomous-Agent-Plugin-for-Claude 2>/dev/null | head -1)
    elif command -v where >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        PLUGIN_DIR=$(find /c/Users/*/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/LLM-Autonomous-Agent-Plugin-for-Claude 2>/dev/null | head -1)
    fi

    if [ -z "$PLUGIN_DIR" ] || [ ! -f "$PLUGIN_DIR/lib/dashboard.py" ]; then
        echo "ERROR: Plugin installation not found"
        exit 1
    fi

    # Step 2: Always copy latest version from plugin (ensures all fixes are applied)
    echo "Copying latest dashboard from plugin..."
    mkdir -p .claude-patterns
    cp "$PLUGIN_DIR/lib/dashboard.py" ".claude-patterns/dashboard.py"
    echo "[OK] Dashboard ready with all JavaScript fixes"

    # Step 3: Check if dashboard already running
    if curl -s http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/overview >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        echo "Dashboard is already running at: http://127.0.0.1:5000"

    DASHBOARD_PID=$!
    echo "Dashboard started successfully (PID: $DASHBOARD_PID)"
    echo "Dashboard URL: http://127.0.0.1:5000"

    # Step 5: Wait for server and validate
    sleep 3

    # Quick validation check (optional but recommended)

        else
            echo "[WARN] Dashboard validation detected issues"
            echo "[INFO] Run /validate:web http://127.0.0.1:5000 for details"
        fi
    fi

    # Step 6: Open browser
    echo "Opening browser automatically..."
    if command -v xdg-open >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        xdg-open "http://127.0.0.1:5000" >/dev/null 2>&1
    elif command -v open >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        open "http://127.0.0.1:5000"
    elif command -v start >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        start "http://127.0.0.1:5000"
    fi
    ' "$@"
    BASH_SUCCESS=$?

    # If bash succeeded, exit
    if [ $BASH_SUCCESS -eq 0 ]; then
        exit 0

# Benefits of this approach:
# 1. ✅ BASH-FIRST - Uses efficient bash commands when available
# 2. ✅ PYTHON FALLBACK - Reliable cross-platform compatibility when bash fails
# 3. ✅ FASTEST PERFORMANCE - local copy avoids plugin discovery overhead
# 4. ✅ RELIABLE - works even if plugin installation changes
# 5. ✅ SELF-CONTAINED - each project has its own dashboard instance
# 6. ✅ ERROR HANDLING - graceful fallbacks and informative error messages
# 4. ✅ OFFLINE CAPABLE - works completely without plugin after initial setup
# 5. ✅ EASY DEBUGGING - local copy can be modified and tested

# For custom arguments:
# python .claude-patterns/dashboard.py --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0
```

**Platform Support**:
- **Windows**: ✅ Native support (cmd.exe, PowerShell, Git Bash)
- **Linux**: ✅ Native support (bash, sh)
- **macOS**: ✅ Native support (bash, zsh)
- **All Installation Methods**: ✅ Marketplace, development, system-wide

**How It Works**:
1. **Built-in Discovery**: The Python script automatically searches for plugin installation across all standard locations
2. **Marketplace Priority**: Prioritizes marketplace installations over development/local installations
3. **Platform-Aware**: Uses OS-specific environment variables and paths (Windows: APPDATA/LOCALAPPDATA, Linux/macOS: standard directories)
4. **Fallback Support**: Falls back to development mode if marketplace installation not found
5. **Current Directory Access**: Preserves current working directory for pattern data access (.claude-patterns/)

**Discovery Order**:
1. **Marketplace Installations** (Primary):
   - Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.claude\plugins\marketplaces\LLM-Autonomous-Agent-Plugin-for-Claude\`
   - macOS/Linux: `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/LLM-Autonomous-Agent-Plugin-for-Claude/`
   - Alternative paths in `.config/claude/plugins/`

2. **Platform-Specific Paths**:
   - Windows: `APPDATA\Claude\plugins\marketplaces\`, `LOCALAPPDATA\Claude\plugins\marketplaces\`
   - Linux/macOS: `/usr/local/share/claude/plugins/marketplaces/`, `/opt/claude/plugins/marketplaces/`

3. **Development/Local Installations** (Fallback):
   - `~/.claude/plugins/autonomous-agent/`
   - Current directory and parent directories (development mode)

**Data Access**: Pattern data always comes from current project directory (`./.claude-patterns/`), while the dashboard script runs from the plugin installation directory.

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Self-contained - no external launcher files needed
- ✅ Works from any user project directory
- ✅ Cross-platform compatible (Windows, Linux, macOS)
- ✅ Automatic plugin discovery - no hardcoded paths
- ✅ Marketplace installation priority
- ✅ Clear error messages with installation guidance

**Key Fix**: Eliminates path resolution issues by embedding discovery logic directly in the command rather than relying on external launcher files that don't exist in user project directories.

### Smart Browser Opening (Enhanced v1.0.2)

**Prevents Double Browser Opening**:
- **Existing Dashboard Detection**: Checks if dashboard is already running on ports 5000-5010
- **Browser Lock Mechanism**: Uses lock files to track browser opening per port
- **Single Browser Launch**: Opens browser only once per dashboard instance
- **Multiple Instance Support**: Handles multiple dashboard instances gracefully

**Browser Opening Logic**:
1. **Check existing dashboard**: Scans for running dashboard on specified port range
2. **Browser state tracking**: Uses temporary lock files to track browser opening state
3. **Smart opening**: Opens browser only if not already opened for that specific instance
4. **Automatic cleanup**: Removes lock files on dashboard shutdown

**Edge Cases Handled**:
- **Multiple dashboards**: Each port gets separate browser lock tracking
- **Dashboard restarts**: Lock files are properly cleaned up and recreated
- **Manual browser opening**: Respects existing browser states
- **Cross-platform**: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS

### Expected Command Output

**Smart console output**. The command provides intelligent feedback based on dashboard state:

```
# New dashboard instance:
Starting Autonomous Agent Dashboard...
Dashboard URL: http://127.0.0.1:5000
Opening browser automatically...
Browser opened to http://127.0.0.1:5000

# Existing dashboard found:
Dashboard is already running at: http://127.0.0.1:5000
Browser already opened for this dashboard instance.

# Browser opened for existing instance:
Dashboard is already running at: http://127.0.0.1:5000
Browser opened to existing dashboard: http://127.0.0.1:5000
```

### Error Handling

If dashboard fails to start, the command fails silently. Check for common issues:

- **Port conflicts**: Use different port with `--port 8080`
- **Missing dependencies**: Install with `pip install flask flask-cors`
- **Directory issues**: Ensure `.claude-patterns` directory exists

All error handling and status information is available through the web dashboard interface.

### Process Management Commands

```bash
# Check dashboard status
/monitor:dashboard --status

# Stop dashboard
/monitor:dashboard --stop

# Restart dashboard
/monitor:dashboard --restart
```

*Process management commands are handled through the dashboard web interface.*

## Security Considerations

### Local Access Only (Default)
- Binds to localhost (127.0.0.1) for security
- Accessible only from the machine where it's running
- Recommended for most use cases

### Network Access (Use with Caution)
```bash
# Enable external access (trusted networks only)
/monitor:dashboard --host 0.0.0.0

# Add firewall rules for security
sudo ufw allow 5000  # Linux
# Configure firewall rules appropriately
```

### Data Privacy
- All data processing happens locally
- No external data transmission
- Pattern data stored locally
- User controls data retention

## Integration with Other Commands

### Pre-Dashboard Analysis
```bash
# Generate comprehensive data before dashboard
/analyze:project
/learn:analytics
/analyze:quality

# Then launch dashboard
/monitor:dashboard
```

### Post-Dashboard Actions
```bash
# Generate reports based on dashboard insights
/workspace:reports
/learn:performance

# Implement optimizations
/workspace:improve
```

### Continuous Monitoring
```bash
# Background monitoring
/monitor:dashboard --background

# Generate periodic reports
/workspace:organize
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Port Already in Use**
```bash
# Use different port
/monitor:dashboard --port 8080

# Kill existing process
lsof -ti:5000 | xargs kill -9
```

**No Data Available**
```bash
# Initialize pattern learning
/learn:init

# Generate some activity
/analyze:project

# Check data directory
ls -la .claude-patterns/
```

**Dashboard Won't Load**
```bash
# Check Python dependencies
pip install flask flask-cors

# Verify dashboard script (auto-detects plugin path)
python <plugin_path>/lib/dashboard.py --test

# Check system resources
free -h  # Memory
df -h    # Disk space
```

**Performance Issues**
```bash
# Increase cache TTL
/monitor:dashboard --cache-ttl 120

# Reduce refresh rate
/monitor:dashboard --refresh-rate 60

# Clear old data
/monitor:dashboard --cleanup-days 7
```

### Debug Mode
```bash
# Launch with debug output
/monitor:dashboard --debug

# Check log files
tail -f .claude/logs/dashboard.log

# Validate installation (auto-detects plugin path)
python <plugin_path>/lib/dashboard.py --validate
```

## Best Practices

### Production Use
- Use external access only on trusted networks
- Set up appropriate firewall rules
- Monitor resource usage
- Regular data backups
- Implement access controls for team sharing

### Performance Optimization
- Regular data cleanup and archiving
- Optimize cache settings based on usage
- Monitor system resources
- Use appropriate refresh intervals
- Consider resource limits for long-term operation

### Data Management
- Regular backup of pattern data
- Archive old data to maintain performance
- Monitor storage usage
- Implement data retention policies
- Export important insights regularly

## Performance Metrics

### Expected Resource Usage
- **CPU**: 2-5% during normal operation
- **Memory**: 50-200MB depending on data size
- **Storage**: Grows with pattern data (manageable)
- **Network**: Minimal (local access)

### Scalability
- **Data Points**: Handles 10,000+ pattern entries efficiently
- **Concurrent Users**: Supports 5-10 simultaneous users
- **Historical Data**: Optimal performance with 30-day retention
- **Response Times**: <100ms for most API endpoints
