Dashboard

A read-only dashboard on localhost

Switch to the Dashboard view and CommMonitor serves the same capture over a local HTTP endpoint. It binds to 127.0.0.1 on port 5000 only, so nothing is exposed to your network.

  • Bound to 127.0.0.1 only — not reachable from the network
  • Read-only JSON endpoints
  • The page polls once a second (no server-sent events)
  • /api/statusService and session status
  • /api/traffic?n=Recent throughput samples
  • /api/frames?n=Recent frames
  • /api/protocolsProtocol plugin summary
  • /api/languagesAvailable UI languages
  • /api/lang/<locale>Language pack for the dashboard

Try it on your own ports

Install it, pick a port and start capturing. Your own software keeps the port.
