USER GUIDE
Overview KPIs
Purpose¶
Show live gateway-derived health: requests, error rate, active sessions, bytes transferred, NFC exports, and average response latency.
When to use it¶
- First screen after login — confirm Chimera is receiving infrastructure traffic
- Before and after scenario or fault changes to watch error rate and latency move
- When Transiva or
selftestruns but you need a quick “is anything happening?” check
How to get there¶
- Screen id:
#overview(Command Center home) - Nav: Control Center → Overview (sidebar ⌂) or land here immediately after login
Operate from the console (UX)¶
- Sign in at
/__chimera/if the login gate is showing. - Read the six metric tiles: Requests, Error Rate, Active Sessions, Data Transfer, Exports, Avg Response.
- Note trend arrows (↑/↓) on the second poll — dashboard polling under
/__chimerais excluded from these counters, so flat zeros mean no client traffic yet. - Optionally change Last 15 minutes / Last hour in the page head (visual filter; telemetry still polls every ~2s).
- Click ↻ Refresh to force an immediate telemetry pull if you just started Transiva or
selftest. - Use the top bar Scenario dropdown shortcut to scroll to Scenario Launcher when you want presets without hunting the page.
Empty / fail: All KPIs stay at zero after export tests → confirm clients hit /sdk, not /__chimera/. Error Rate climbs with red statuses in Live requests — open Fault Studio or run Clean Environment. Health ring in the sidebar reads Unavailable → check GET /__chimera/health on the host.
Success: Requests and sessions increment during selftest or Transiva export; exports tick up on NFC lease starts; error rate stays near 0% on clean runs.
