Command Center¶
| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Top Activity | Donut chart and legend grouping infrastructure traffic by operation class — vSphere SOAP, SDK, NFC download, NFC resume, and related gateway paths. |
| Fault Studio | Operator drawer for latency, HTTP failure status, next-N API/NFC failures, one-shot NFC stream drops, drop offset, and bandwidth caps. |
| Live requests | Stream recent infrastructure HTTP calls: method, compact path, HTTP status, and end-to-end gateway duration. |
| Login | Authenticate the browser session before any Command Center chrome or data is shown. |
| Overview KPIs | Show live gateway-derived health: requests, error rate, active sessions, bytes transferred, NFC exports, and average response latency. |
| Scenario Launcher | One-click deterministic presets for clean, slow, flaky, and resume-export fault paths — without hand-tuning Fault Studio each run. |
| Settings | Show the configured listen address (read-only) and change Command Center admin username/password live — no Chimera restart required. |
| Topology | Visual datacenter → cluster → host → datastore map of the simulated estate. |
| VM inventory | Searchable, paginated table of simulator VMs with power state, CPU/memory/disk, datastore, and Fixture badge (real VMDK vs synthetic). |
| VMDK Library | List and manage .vmdk fixtures under configured fixture directories; upload from the browser or pick staged host files; optionally pin to a VM. |
