Real-Time Metrics

View live resource utilization.

Available Metrics

Metric	Resources
CPU Usage	Servers, containers
Memory Usage	Servers, containers, databases
Disk Usage	Servers, volumes
Network I/O	Servers, load balancers

Manual Refresh

Click Refresh button in toolbar
Press Ctrl+R / Cmd+R
Right-click → Refresh

Refresh Scope

Detecting Drift

Architect can detect when deployed infrastructure differs from your design.

Drift Indicators

In Sync

Design matches deployed state

Drifted

Manual changes detected

Missing

Resource exists in design but not deployed

Extra

Resource deployed but not in design

Resolving Drift

Click a drifted resource
Review the differences
Choose:
- Update Design: Match design to reality
- Apply Design: Override with design (redeploy)

Warning Applying your design to drifted resources may cause downtime or data loss. Always review the changes carefully before proceeding.
