How to use the Real Time Monitor?

Real-time monitoring is a fundamental feature that allows for the visualization and tracking of experiment executions as they are in progress. Essentially, this process can be likened to the experience of "entering" a Docker container to inspect and interact with the running environment. In the context of our operations, real-time monitoring is often carried out using bash scripts or any other script specified in the Docker image of the experiment.

Using Docker images, such as those based on Debian, you can access the container during execution to run diagnostic commands and check logs, similar to a bash terminal. Debian-specific tools and scripts, for instance, help monitor resource usage and system status. For example, you could connect to the container to view logs and monitor memory and CPU usage in real time..

Real-time monitoring is crucial to ensure that experiments are being executed as expected and to quickly identify any problems that may arise. The ability to directly interact with the execution environment allows for a swift response to any challenges that may occur during the experiment.
