# Animotive Kimodo Monitor Panel

The **Animotive Kimodo Monitor** is where every Animotive Kimodo generation appears as a row with live state, progress, and elapsed time.

## Opening the panel

Open the panel via **Tools → Animotive Kimodo → Monitor**. Dock it anywhere; alongside Sequencer is a common choice.

## Reading a row

Each row is one click of **Generate with Kimodo**. The row carries:

* The current **State** with a progress bar.
* A title naming the source sequence + binding.
* Submitted time (relative) and elapsed wall-clock time.
* The generation **seed** (`seed N`) sent to Kimodo. Copy it into the track's **Fixed Seed** to reproduce that motion. Rows from before this feature show no seed.
* A `⚠` indicator on rows that accumulated non-terminal warnings.

## Lifecycle states

A successful run progresses through these states in order:

1. **Queued** — waiting for the backend to begin work.
2. **Uploading** — sending the request payload.
3. **Processing** — Kimodo is solving. Usually the longest state.
4. **Downloading** — fetching the resulting BVH.
5. **Retargeting** — importing and retargeting onto your character.
6. **Completed** — the result is on the timeline.

An unsuccessful run terminates at **Failed** or **Cancelled** instead. **Failed** rows carry a friendly error message and a **Copy error** action; see [Troubleshooting](/animotive-kimodo/going-further/troubleshooting.md) for the full list of error categories and their fixes.

## Warning vs failure

* A **failure** is terminal: the row stops at **Failed**.
* A **warning** is non-terminal: the row continues to its end state and surfaces a `⚠` chip on the way out. A **Completed** run with `⚠` is still usable; hover the chip to read what happened.

## Per-row actions

Right-click a row to access:

* **Copy error** (on **Failed** rows) — copies the friendly message to clipboard.
* **Open output folder** (on **Completed** rows) — reveals the BVH and generated assets in the OS file explorer.
* **Cancel** (on in-flight rows) — requests cancellation. For the Self-Hosted (HTTP) backend, requires **Enable Server-Side Cancel** to be ticked in plugin settings.

## Credit balance (Animotive backend)

When the active backend is **Animotive** and an API key is set, a strip at the top of the panel shows your available **credit balance** (e.g. `0 credits`). It refreshes when the panel opens and after each generation finishes. The strip is hidden for the Docker and Self-Hosted backends. See [Animotive Kimodo (Hosted)](/animotive-kimodo/setup/animotive-backend.md#credit-balance-display) for where else the balance appears.

## Clearing history

The toolbar's **Clear history** dropdown offers **Clear all** or **Clear failed only**. In-flight rows are never cleared.
