## Features

### 📊 Real-time Monitoring
- **CPU Usage**: Gauge visualization with sparkline history
- **Memory**: Stacked bar showing used/buffers/cached/free
- **Disk**: Per-filesystem usage with visual bars
- **Network**: Interface statistics with RX/TX totals
- **Temperature**: Sensor readings from thermal zones
- **Load Average**: 1/5/15 minute load display

### 🖥️ System Information
- Hostname, model, kernel version
- OpenWrt version and target
- Uptime with days/hours/minutes display
- CPU cores and frequency

### 🌐 Network Details
- Interface list with IP addresses
- Link state and speed detection
- Connection tracking statistics
- Per-interface traffic breakdown

### ⚙️ Process Monitor
- Running/sleeping process counts
- Process list with PID, user, command
- Memory usage per process
- State visualization

### 🎨 Modern Design
- Dark theme optimized for monitoring
- Responsive grid layout
- Animated gauges and sparklines
- GitHub-inspired color palette

### 🔔 SecuBox Alerts & Logs
- Control bar integrates with the new `/usr/sbin/secubox-log` helper.
- Start/restart/stop events get appended to `/var/log/seccubox.log`.
- Dashboard card shows the tail of the aggregated log and lets you capture a dmesg/logread snapshot from LuCI.

## Installation

### Prerequisites

- OpenWrt 21.02 or later
- LuCI web interface

### From Source (Recommended)

```bash
# Clone into OpenWrt build environment
cd ~/openwrt/feeds/luci/applications/
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/luci-app-netdata-dashboard.git

# Update feeds and install
cd ~/openwrt
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

# Enable in menuconfig
make menuconfig
# Navigate to: LuCI > Applications > luci-app-netdata-dashboard

# Build package
make package/luci-app-netdata-dashboard/compile V=s
```

### Manual Installation

```bash
# Transfer package to router
scp luci-app-netdata-dashboard_1.0.0-1_all.ipk root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/

# Install on router
ssh root@192.168.1.1
opkg install /tmp/luci-app-netdata-dashboard_1.0.0-1_all.ipk

# Restart services
/etc/init.d/rpcd restart
/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
```

## Usage

After installation, access the dashboard at:

**Status → Netdata Dashboard**

The dashboard has four tabs:
1. **Real-time**: Overview with gauges and sparklines
2. **System**: Detailed system information
3. **Network**: Interface statistics
4. **Processes**: Process monitor

Data refreshes automatically every 2 seconds.

## API Endpoints

| Method | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `stats` | Quick overview (CPU%, memory%, load, etc.) |
| `cpu` | Detailed CPU statistics and per-core data |
| `memory` | Memory breakdown (total, free, buffers, cached) |
| `disk` | Filesystem usage and I/O statistics |
| `network` | Interface stats and connection tracking |
| `processes` | Process list and counts |
| `sensors` | Temperature sensor readings |
| `system` | System information (hostname, kernel, uptime) |

## Customization

### Modifying Refresh Rate

Edit the poll interval in the view files:

```javascript
// In realtime.js
poll.add(L.bind(this.refresh, this), 2); // 2 seconds
```

### Adding Custom Metrics

Extend the RPCD backend script at `/usr/libexec/rpcd/netdata` to add new data sources.
