Who it is forA developer comparing model setups who wants saved request data rather than screenshots of a live screen.
The problemLive dashboards disappear when closed, so runs with different models or settings cannot be compared afterwards.
The outcomeA SQLite file containing one row per logged request that can be opened with any SQLite tool.
What you need first
- Rust toolchain 1.75 or newer
- A C compiler, needed by the bundled SQLite used for --log-db
- A locally listening llama-server for throughput panels (the demo mode needs none)
- nvidia-smi for NVIDIA GPU panels, xpu-smi for Intel, the amdgpu driver for AMD, or macmon on Apple silicon
Steps
- Install a Rust toolchain (1.75 or newer), clone the repo with
git clone https://github.com/DingoOz/llm-visuals, andcd llm-visuals. - Start the dashboard with
cargo run --release -- --log-db llm.db, using the--log-db llm.dboption the README describes. (inferred, check the README) - Send several prompts to the running llama-server so rows are written.
- Open
llm.dbwith any SQLite client and check that rows exist for the requests you sent.
Prompt for your agent
Using the repo DingoOz/llm-visuals, start the dashboard with `cargo run --release -- --log-db llm.db` while a llama-server is running. Expected output: an llm.db file in the repo folder with one row per request. Verify the row count rises after you send a prompt.
Caveat. The README says rows are written to the database but does not describe the table layout, so check the schema yourself before writing queries.
