Dashboard Overview
Tour of the FICSIT.monitor real-time dashboard: server status, power grid, production, players, trains, drones, and factory panels. Live WebSocket updates.
Overview
The FICSIT.monitor dashboard is the central view for monitoring your Satisfactory server. It shows real-time data across multiple panels, each focused on a different aspect of your factory. The dashboard updates automatically via WebSocket — no manual page refresh is needed.
Dashboard Panels
The dashboard is divided into the following panels:
| Panel | Data source | Update interval |
|---|---|---|
| Server Status | Vanilla API | 10 seconds |
| Power Grid | FRM getPower | 15 seconds |
| Production | FRM getProdStats | 30 seconds |
| Players | FRM getPlayer | 15 seconds |
| Trains | FRM getTrains | 30 seconds |
| Drone Stations | FRM getDroneStation | 30 seconds |
| Factory Buildings | FRM getFactory | 60 seconds |
Power Grid, Production, Players, Trains, Drone Stations, and Factory Buildings all require the FRM mod. Server Status works without FRM.
Server Status Panel
Located at the top of the dashboard. Shows:
- Status indicator: 🟢 Online / 🔴 Offline / 🟡 Degraded
- Tick rate: the server’s game loop speed. A healthy server runs at ~30 tick/s. Values below ~15 indicate the server is overloaded.
- Player count: how many clients are currently connected
- Tech tier: the current research tier reached (0–9)
- Game phase: the current game progression phase
- Session name: the active save file name
- Uptime: total game session duration (hours:minutes)
Status definitions:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Online | Server is reachable, tick rate is normal |
| Degraded | Server is reachable but tick rate is low (below ~15 tick/s) |
| Offline | Server is unreachable or has crashed |
Polling Cadence
FICSIT.monitor polls your server on fixed intervals using background jobs:
| Interval | Data fetched |
|---|---|
| Every 10 seconds | Server health check, server metrics (tick rate, players, game state) |
| Every 15 seconds | Player details, power grid, generators |
| Every 30 seconds | Production stats, trains, drone stations, extractors, world inventory |
| Every 60 seconds | Factory buildings, resource sink |
The intervals are fixed and not configurable in the Free or Hobby tiers. The Pro tier and above poll at 10 seconds for all metrics.
Live Updates
The dashboard connects to the backend via WebSocket (Laravel Reverb, Pusher protocol). When new data is stored after each polling cycle, the backend broadcasts an update event to your browser session. The relevant panel re-renders automatically.
This means:
- You do not need to refresh the page
- Multiple browser tabs or devices show the same live data
- If you close and reopen the browser, the dashboard loads the latest cached snapshot immediately, then begins receiving live updates
Panel-by-Panel Documentation
Each panel has a dedicated guide:
- Power Grid Panel — MW production, consumption, batteries, fuse alerts
- Production & Consumption Panel — item rates and factory balance
- Players & Sessions Panel — online players, health, position
- Trains & Drone Stations Panel — logistics monitoring
- Factory Buildings Panel — per-machine efficiency and overclocking
Data Retention
Historical data retention depends on your subscription plan:
| Plan | Retention |
|---|---|
| Free | 24 hours |
| Hobby | 7 days |
| Pro | 30 days |
| Team | 90 days |
| Enterprise | Custom |
After the retention period, data is automatically pruned from the time-series database. Real-time monitoring works regardless of plan — retention only affects how far back you can view historical charts.
