Web dashboard

The dashboard is a small HTTP server that renders daemon state: budget, per-project task summaries, and recent events. Read-only, local by default.

Run it

openloop dashboard start            # foreground, default port 7399
openloop dashboard start --port 8080

Or auto-start it with the daemon:

openloop dashboard enable           # starts alongside `service start`
openloop dashboard disable
openloop dashboard status

Then open http://127.0.0.1:7399.

The API

The dashboard also exposes JSON endpoints, handy for scripting or your own tooling:

Endpoint	Returns
/api/snapshot	Everything below in one payload
/api/daemon	Daemon + paused state
/api/projects	Per-project task summaries
/api/events	Recent audit events
/api/budget	Daily spend vs. ceiling

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:7399/api/budget

All endpoints are GET-only; the dashboard can inspect the fleet but never mutate it.

When to use what

• openloop watch: terminal-native, 1s refresh; best while you’re actively watching a run.
• Dashboard: leave a browser tab open; survives terminal churn; JSON for scripting.
• openloop status / digest: one-shot checks for humans and CI respectively.
