Stats Topic

The stats topic provides real-time system performance data including CPU, memory, GPU, disks, and network metrics.

Full Stats

Subscribe to all system metrics:

{ "op": "subscribe", "data": { "topics": ["stats"] } }

This automatically includes: cpu, memory, gpu, disks, network.

Granular Stats

Subscribe to specific metrics only:

{ "op": "subscribe", "data": { "topics": ["stats.cpu", "stats.memory"] } }

Backward Compatible

Legacy topic names (cpu, memory, gpu, disks, network) still work.

Available Sub-Topics

Topic	Alias	Description
`stats.cpu`	`cpu`	CPU load, temperature, speed
`stats.memory`	`memory`	RAM usage (used, free, percent)
`stats.gpu`	`gpu`	GPU load, temperature, VRAM
`stats.disks`	`disks`	Disk space per mount point
`stats.network`	`network`	Total bytes sent/received

Event: `system_stats`

Broadcasts at the configured interval (default: 1000ms).

Configuration

In config.json:

{
  "websocket": {
    "stats": {
      "enabled": true,
      "interval_ms": 1000
    }
  }
}

Example Use Cases

1. System Monitor Dashboard

Build a real-time dashboard showing CPU, memory, and GPU usage.

const ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:9990/api/ws");

ws.onopen = () => {
  ws.send(
    JSON.stringify({
      op: "subscribe",
      data: { topics: ["stats"] },
    }),
  );
};

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const { type, data } = JSON.parse(event.data);
  if (type === "system_stats") {
    updateCpuGauge(data.cpu?.current_load);
    updateMemoryBar(data.memory?.used_percent);
    updateGpuGauge(data.gpu?.current_load);
  }
};

2. Low-Bandwidth Mode

Only subscribe to what you need for a minimal widget:

// Only CPU and memory - no GPU, disks, or network
ws.send(
  JSON.stringify({
    op: "subscribe",
    data: { topics: ["stats.cpu", "stats.memory"] },
  }),
);

3. Disk Space Alert

Monitor disk usage and alert when running low:

ws.send(
  JSON.stringify({
    op: "subscribe",
    data: { topics: ["stats.disks"] },
  }),
);

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const { type, data } = JSON.parse(event.data);
  if (type === "system_stats" && data.disks) {
    for (const disk of data.disks) {
      if (disk.used_percent > 90) {
        alert(`${disk.fs} is ${disk.used_percent.toFixed(1)}% full!`);
      }
    }
  }
};

4. Network Traffic Graph

Track bandwidth over time:

const history = [];

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const { type, data } = JSON.parse(event.data);
  if (type === "system_stats" && data.network) {
    history.push({
      time: data.timestamp,
      sent: data.network.bytes_sent,
      recv: data.network.bytes_recv,
    });
    renderGraph(history);
  }
};
