- One engine: go-analyze/charts (grafana theme) for all live metrics - Server chart: CPU temp, CPU load%, mem load%, power W, fan RPMs - GPU charts: temp, load%, mem%, power W — one card per GPU, added dynamically - Charts 1400x280px SVG, rendered at width:100% in single-column layout - Add CPU load (from /proc/stat) and mem load (from /proc/meminfo) to LiveMetricSample - Add GPU mem utilization to GPUMetricRow (nvidia-smi utilization.memory) - Document charting architecture in bible-local/architecture/charting.md Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Charting architecture
Decision: one chart engine for all live metrics
Engine: github.com/go-analyze/charts (pure Go, no CGO, SVG output)
Theme: grafana (dark background, coloured lines)
All live metrics charts in the web UI are server-side SVG images served by Go
and polled by the browser every 2 seconds via <img src="...?t=now">.
There is no client-side canvas or JS chart library.
Why go-analyze/charts
- Pure Go, no CGO — builds cleanly inside the live-build container
- SVG output — crisp at any display resolution, full-width without pixelation
- Grafana theme matches the dark web UI colour scheme
- Active fork of the archived wcharczuk/go-chart
SAT stress-test charts
The drawGPUChartSVG function in platform/gpu_metrics.go is a separate
self-contained SVG renderer used only for completed SAT run reports
(HTML export, burn-in summaries). It is not used for live metrics.
Live metrics chart endpoints
| Path | Content |
|---|---|
GET /api/metrics/chart/server.svg |
CPU temp, CPU load %, mem load %, power W, fan RPMs |
GET /api/metrics/chart/gpu/{idx}.svg |
GPU temp °C, load %, mem %, power W |
Charts are 1400 × 280 px SVG. The page renders them at width: 100% in a
single-column layout so they always fill the viewport width.
Ring buffers
Each metric is stored in a 120-sample ring buffer (2 minutes of history at 1 Hz). Buffers are per-server or per-GPU and grow dynamically as new GPUs appear.
