Phoenix LiveDashboard is an interactive monitoring and debugging tool for Elixir applications, integrated directly into Phoenix. It offers real-time insights into system metrics such as memory, CPU, and process activity, as well as introspection of applications, supervision trees, and running processes. Built on top of Phoenix LiveView, it updates dashboards live without requiring page reloads. Developers can drill into request logs, Ecto queries, and telemetry events to diagnose performance issues. It also supports extensibility, allowing custom metrics and panels to be added for application-specific monitoring. LiveDashboard has become a staple for Elixir developers, giving them production-grade visibility into their systems without external monitoring services.
