Play and Monitor

After the engine is running, players use the web UI (human players) or API (AI players) while operators monitor the run from the CLI.

Monitor a Local Run

To monitor the status of a local run, use:

dcs engine status

For deeper inspection during a run, dump the database to a timestamped results directory:

dcs database dump runs

Monitor a Remote Run

To monitor the status of a remote run, use:

dcs remote status --uri <remote_api_url> --admin-key <admin_key>

If DCS_ADMIN_KEY is set in your environment, you can omit --admin-key.

To download remote results while keeping the deployment running:

dcs remote save --uri <remote_api_url> --admin-key <admin_key> --save-db-path runs/<run_results>.tar.gz
