What Inspired the Agent Emergency Dashboard
I wanted a unified, futuristic dashboard that could monitor everything in real time—server health, network uptime, notifications, automations, and security events.
Something inspired by tactical UIs seen in movies, but actually functional.
That idea became the foundation for the Agent Emergency Dashboard.
1. Core Technologies Behind the System
The dashboard is powered by a combination of:
Raspberry Pi 4 running the backend
CasaOS as the container platform
Python scripts for data collection
Custom endpoints that feed real-time data into widgets
Telegram Bot API for instant alerts
Uptime Kuma for service health monitoring
Each part works independently, but all together they create a seamless experience.
2. The Data Pipeline
The system collects and processes information such as:
CPU, RAM, and temperature monitoring
Disk usage and external drive status
Service uptime (Nginx, WireGuard, FileBrowser, PiHole, etc.)
SSH activity logs
Failed login attempts
Network latency and public IP changes
This data is pushed into JSON endpoints that the dashboard reads every few seconds.
3. Designing a Smart UI
The UI focuses on being:
minimal
responsive
futuristic
inspired by tactical interfaces
Each card includes:
icons
color-coded states (green/yellow/red)
compact metrics
quick status indicators
The idea is to get all information in under 3 seconds.
4. Real-Time Alerts with Telegram
A critical feature is the alert system.
The dashboard and scripts forward alerts when:
a service crashes
a login attempt fails
the server temperature spikes
a container restarts
the network goes offline
These notifications turn the dashboard into a live assistant.
5. Why This Dashboard Matters
This system makes my server setup:
safer
smarter
faster to debug
easier to manage
more automated
Instead of checking logs manually, I get everything visually and instantly.
6. The Future of the Project
I plan to expand the dashboard with:
mobile-optimized UI
map-based geolocation alerts
smartwatch integration (Galaxy Watch 5 → iPhone 13 → Pi)
voice-triggered commands
AI-powered anomaly detection
The goal is simple:
a personal control center that evolves with my hardware and automations.
