description: The llm-anthropic Grafana board only sees mainframe transcripts; work_laptop Claude Code usage is missing entirely
metadata:
  type: project
---

`obs.claude_code_usage` is filled by `~/config/grafana/collect-claude-code.py`
(llm-claude-code.timer, every 15 min), which walks **mainframe's**
`~/.claude/projects` only. It has no remote source.

Connor also runs Claude Code on `work_laptop` (10.0.0.8, host `SCTFW004`, user
`connorjohnstone`) — reachable by `ssh work_laptop` with BatchMode keys.

**Why:** flat spots on the llm-anthropic board read as "the dashboard is
broken" but are real gaps in *mainframe* activity. Verified 2026-09-10: the DB
matched mainframe transcripts day-for-day exactly, while the laptop held 758
requests on 2026-09-04 (a day mainframe shows zero) plus 364 on 09-09 and 228
on 09-10 — roughly 40% of recent traffic invisible.

**Status as of 2026-09-10:** the *quota* half is solved — `obs.claude_quota`
plus panels 291-297 on llm-anthropic now show real account-wide 5h/weekly
utilisation, fed by `claude-quota-statusline.py` on both machines and harvested
by `llm-claude-quota.timer`. See robots.md §18 and [[claude-code-quota-source]].

**Also done (same day):** the token panels are multi-host too.
`obs.claude_code_usage` has a `host` column; `collect-claude-code.py` rsyncs
each host in `CLAUDE_HOSTS` into `~/.claude-mirror/<host>/` and walks it like a
local tree. 5,184 laptop rows backfilled to 2026-08-11. Panels 305 and 307 split
by machine. See robots.md §18.7.

**How to apply:** this blind spot is closed — don't re-diagnose it. The live
trap now is the opposite one: tokens (`claude_code_usage`) sum across hosts,
quota (`claude_quota`) is account-wide and must never be summed, and they sit on
the same board. Adding a machine is one entry in `CLAUDE_HOSTS` plus the
statusLine from [[claude-code-quota-source]].
