A metrics dashboard for Bevy.

This library enables Bevy apps to search and plot any metrics defined by the metrics crate within the app itself.

Should I use this?

This library is not a replacement for tools that export metrics into a monitoring service with a time series database, nor does it reject that methodology. This library is a supplemental tool that allows users to cheaply plot high-resolution metrics in real time within the app that defines them. As such, this tool shines when you are debugging an issue that is reproducible and requires real-time feedback or ad-hoc instrumentation.

How does it work?

The metrics crate lets developers define metrics in their code using simple macros. Each process has a global registry (AKA "recorder") of all of the metrics that have been used or described in code.

The provided Bevy plugin defines and installs a registry, and the dashboard widget lets users search the registry and plot metrics.

Getting Started

See the "examples" directory.

Steps for plotting your metrics:

1. Define metrics using the [metrics] crate.
2. Add the EguiPlugin, [RegistryPlugin], and [DashboardPlugin] to your app.
3. Spawn an entity with the [DashboardWindow] component.

Low-Level API

You can build your own metrics dashboard widgets by reusing building blocks like the search bar and plot widgets. Read the source code of [DashboardWindow] to see how it works.
