Backend telemetry, not visitor-device telemetry

Hardware Dashboard is a small public window into aggregate telemetry from the Ahlyx Labs backend host. The architecture is straightforward: browser → Ahlyx Labs API → metrics from the Ahlyx Labs backend host. Seeing CPU, memory, disk, and network values on the page does not mean the site is reading those values from the visitor's computer.

That distinction is the point. The dashboard is a public operational view of one host, not a remote-support tool or a generalized machine inventory. The hosted implementation is Go-backed and separate from the older Python Hardware Dashboard repository.

Published aggregates, not infrastructure inventory

Ahlyx Labs backend host → Go hardware handlers → hosted dashboard → aggregate metrics
Published by the current serviceIntentionally not published
Generic OS information, CPU usage and core countsHostname, OS version, and host identity
Memory and swap totalsIP addresses and detailed interface inventory
Aggregate disk capacity and I/OMount points and filesystem detail
Aggregate network countersOther sensitive implementation inventory

The browser requests only these published backend metrics. Keeping the public response aggregate makes the dashboard useful as a quick operational view without exposing an unnecessary map of the host behind the site.

Using the public view

There is no local install or agent to configure for the current utility—open the hosted dashboard. A panel failing to load is a service condition, not a signal about the visitor's device.

The historical Python project is included in the references because it is related by name and subject, not because it powers this page. It was a separate local CLI and dashboard project; the live Ahlyx Labs utility is the Go-backed backend telemetry view described here.

Deliberately limited telemetry

These are aggregate readings for one backend host. They are not promises about availability, performance, security posture, or the health of every dependency behind the site. Values can change between refreshes and may be unavailable when the service cannot collect or publish a metric.

More detail is intentionally excluded. The dashboard does not expose sensitive host identity, interface, IP, mount, filesystem, or patch information, and it never reads a visitor's local CPU, RAM, storage, or network traffic. That is the intended information boundary, not a missing browser permission.
