ProcessPilot

Overview

ProcessPilot is a modern, web-based tool designed to monitor and manage system processes. It provides a user-friendly interface to view running processes, track CPU and memory usage, filter processes via a search bar, terminate selected processes, and gain insights into system performance. Additionally, it includes an AI-powered chatbot for system-related queries and performance advice, a real-time CPU usage graph, and system details displayed at the bottom of the application.

Features

• View Running Processes: Displays a list of currently running processes along with CPU usage, memory usage, and other relevant details.
• Search Functionality: Allows users to filter processes by name using a search bar.
• Terminate Processes: Enables users to kill a selected process directly from the web interface.
• Process Insights: Provides recommendations for processes with high CPU or memory usage.
• AI Chatbot: Includes an AI-powered chatbot to answer system-related queries such as CPU usage, memory status, and storage availability.
• Performance Monitoring: Offers insights into CPU performance and memory usage in real-time.
• Dynamic Filtering: Allows users to filter processes based on high CPU or memory usage.
• CPU Usage Graph: Displays a real-time graph of CPU usage to monitor system performance visually.
• System Details: Displays key system information (e.g., total memory, available memory, CPU cores) at the bottom of the application.
• Responsive Design: The web app is fully responsive and works seamlessly across devices.

Usage

1. Open the web application in your browser (default: http://localhost:5173).
2. Use the sidebar to navigate between features:
   • All Processes: View and manage all running processes.
   • High CPU Usage: Filter processes consuming high CPU resources.
   • High Memory Usage: Filter processes consuming high memory resources.
   • AI Chat: Interact with the AI chatbot for system-related queries.
   • CPU Performance: Monitor CPU performance in real-time with a graph.
   • Process Insights: Get recommendations for processes with high resource usage.
3. Use the search bar to filter processes by name.
4. Select a process and click "Kill Selected Process" to terminate it.
5. Use the AI chatbot to ask questions like:
   • "How much storage is available?"
   • "What is the current CPU usage?"
   • "Which task is consuming the most memory?"
6. View the CPU Usage Graph and System Details at the bottom of the application for real-time performance monitoring.

API Endpoints

Backend API

• GET /api/processes: Fetches a list of all running processes.
  • Response:

    {
      "processes": [
        {
          "pid": 1234,
          "name": "example.exe",
          "cpu_percent": 10.0,
          "memory_usage": "50.00 MB"
        }
      ],
      "total_threads": 50
    }

• POST /api/kill: Terminates a process by its PID.
  • Request Body:

    {
      "pid": 1234
    }

  • Response:

    {
      "message": "Process with PID 1234 has been terminated."
    }

• GET /api/cpu-details: Provides details about CPU performance and memory usage.
  • Response:

    {
      "cpu_count": 8,
      "physical_cores": 4,
      "cpu_frequency": "2400.00 MHz",
      "cpu_usage": "15%",
      "total_memory": "16.00 GB",
      "available_memory": "10.00 GB",
      "used_memory": "6.00 GB"
    }

• GET /api/process-insights: Returns insights and recommendations for processes with high resource usage.
  • Response:

    [
      {
        "pid": 1234,
        "name": "example.exe",
        "cpu_usage": "10%",
        "memory_usage": "50.00 MB",
        "recommendation": "Normal"
      }
    ]

• POST /ask-ai: Handles AI chatbot queries.
  • Request Body:

    {
      "query": "What is my CPU usage?"
    }

  • Response:

    {
      "response": "<b>Current CPU usage is 15%.</b>"
    }

Notes

• The application requires administrator privileges to terminate certain system processes.
• Ensure Python, Node.js, and required dependencies are installed before running the application.
• The backend server runs on http://localhost:5000 by default, and the frontend runs on http://localhost:5174.
