Task 5.5.4: Real-Time Security Dashboard

Status: Complete Date: 2026-02-09

Summary

Implemented a real-time security metrics dashboard that computes metrics from the AuditDatabase with caching. Provides 12 key metrics across activity, security, and performance categories, trend calculations, and WebSocket-ready snapshots.

Components

DashboardMetrics (Pydantic Model)

12 metrics in 3 categories:

Category Metrics
Activity events_last_hour, events_last_day, active_sessions, active_actors
Security security_denials, security_allows, denial_rate, error_events, tool_call_errors, error_rate
Performance avg_tool_duration_ms, total_tool_calls

MetricsCache

Simple TTL-based cache with:

  • get/set/invalidate operations
  • Configurable TTL (default 60s)
  • Size tracking

SecurityDashboard (Main Class)

  • get_metrics() - Compute or return cached metrics
  • get_trend(metric, hours) - Hourly time series for a metric
  • get_snapshot() - WebSocket-ready JSON dict
  • invalidate_cache() - Force refresh
  • events - Event count per hour
  • errors - Error events per hour
  • denials - Security denials per hour
  • tool_calls - Tool calls per hour
