FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor Bob's real-time health and state transitions?

Monitor Bob's operation through the web dashboard at http://localhost:5001, which displays current state, events, and health metrics. Access API endpoints for state queries and use MQTT monitoring to trace event flows in real time.

How do I analyze logs and debug performance issues in Bob?

Log analysis filters errors and inspects state transitions to diagnose performance or connectivity problems. Use grep and bash tools to extract log patterns, then correlate with API health checks and MQTT event traces for reproducible debugging workflows.

Can I trace MQTT events and view performance metrics across dashboards?

Yes. MQTT event tracing captures message flows, while web dashboards and local terminal access display performance metrics and health checks side by side, enabling end-to-end visibility of Bob's operation.

What tools do I need to set up monitoring and log analysis for Bob?

You need read and bash access, log analysis tools like grep, an MQTT monitor, and a web dashboard. These components work together to enable health checks, event inspection, and diagnostic command workflows across web and terminal interfaces.

What are the limits of dashboard-based monitoring for Bob diagnostics?

Dashboard monitoring provides real-time visibility into state and events but requires API endpoints and MQTT connectivity. Complex state-machine debugging or pattern extraction at scale may need supplemental log analysis and reproducible bash commands for deeper investigation.
