📖About & Usage
About
Carol Infra Monitor is a private, administrator-only health dashboard for the virtual machine that runs Carol’s services. It exists to answer a practical question quickly: Is Carol’s underlying computer healthy? The app watches local signals such as processor activity, memory use, disk space, and running processes, helping administrators spot strain or failure before it disrupts the wider Carol ecosystem.
The monitor uses psutil, a system-observation tool that reads health information directly from the machine. It runs as a single worker and is overseen by Hagrid, Carol’s Keeper of Keys. Its focused role complements broader operational views such as Carol Monitor, Sentinel Monitor, and Infra Audit Report.
Usage Patterns
Carol Infra Monitor is used during routine infrastructure checks, incident investigation, and maintenance. It may also be consulted when another Carol app becomes slow, stops responding, or behaves unpredictably. Because access is restricted to administrators, it acts as a backstage instrument rather than a public-facing service.
For example, if Carol Chat suddenly feels sluggish, an administrator can open Carol Infra Monitor to see whether the virtual machine is short on memory, unusually busy, or running low on disk space. That evidence helps distinguish a machine-wide problem from an issue inside one app, making the next troubleshooting step faster and less guessy.
