kontiki-tui 0.1.0

Terminal UI to monitor Kontiki services, registry events, and logs.

KontikiTUI

Overview

KontikiTUI is a small terminal UI for monitoring Kontiki systems via the Kontiki service registry and log files.

It is built with Textual, a Python TUI framework.

It is “engineering‑tool” oriented:

• quick view of running services (status, pid/host, version, local stats when possible),
• inspect events and exceptions recorded by the registry,
• read logs without leaving the terminal.

---

Tabs

• Services: registered services with status, pid/host, version and local stats (CPU/MEM/FD when possible, otherwise N/A). Selecting a row shows the configuration/metadata in JSON.

  

• Events: events tracked by the registry, with local filters (Field/Value/Limit). RPC-like events are displayed as rpc:<remote_method> when event_type is empty.

  

• Exceptions: exceptions from the registry exception tracker, with the same local filtering approach. The context payload is shown compactly.

  

• Logs: reads configured log files from logs.directory and displays them in the UI. Uses lnav when available; otherwise it falls back to a Python reader.

  

• Settings: edit ~/.config/kontiki_tui.yaml (the app reloads configuration on save).

  

---

Requirements

• Optional: lnav for richer log filtering; without it, a built-in Python reader is used
