System Health Dashboard

Real-time desktop monitor for CPU, memory, disk, and network with historical trends and alerts.

c#wpf.netobservability
System Health Dashboard preview

A native Windows desktop application that streams live OS metrics into a single calm view. CPU, memory, disk, and network counters are sampled at 1 Hz, plotted as ring-buffered sparklines, and rolled into hourly aggregates for the historical-trends panel. Alert thresholds fire toast notifications and append to an in-app log.

The point was to fit on one screen without ever hiding signal: no tabs, no hamburger menu, every chart visible at once. Counters that exceed their threshold pulse magenta until acknowledged.

Stack

  • C# / .NET 8 — windows performance counters via System.Diagnostics
  • WPF + MVVM — observable view-models bound to chart controls
  • LiveCharts2 for the sparklines
  • JSON-flat-file rolling log; no database needed for a single-machine tool
