compact-resource-telemetry

name	compact-resource-telemetry
description	Show richer resource telemetry in a dense monitoring card without cluttering the main status row.
domain	wpf-ui
confidence	medium
source	observed

Context

Use this when a monitoring UI needs to add more metrics to an existing resource row but must keep the card compact and scannable.

Patterns

• Keep the primary status row focused on name, CPU, memory, and the action link.
• Add a smaller secondary row for supplemental metrics like type, disk usage, and endpoint count.
• Add compact environment badges for environment-aware resources instead of widening the row.
• Bind display text from the ViewModel instead of formatting in XAML.

Examples

• ResourceViewModel.ResourceTypeText
• ResourceViewModel.DiskUsageText
• ResourceViewModel.EndpointCountText
• Views/MainWindow.xaml resource item template

Anti-Patterns

• Don't widen the primary row until it wraps awkwardly.
• Don't invent new telemetry sources just to fill space.
• Don't put display formatting logic directly in the view.
• Don't expose raw environment values in the badge if a short summary is enough.
