🎯 Monitoring Instructions

Essential Commands

# Quick status (recommended every 30 minutes)
/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/scripts/quick_status.sh

# Live dashboard (auto-updates every 30 seconds)
watch -n 30 /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/scripts/dashboard_monitor.sh

# Pipeline status
cat /tmp/tuning_pipeline_status.txt

# GPU status
nvidia-smi

Key Checkpoints

Time	Event	Action
~19:28	DQN completes	Verify PPO auto-starts
~22:42	PPO completes	Verify TFT auto-starts
~02:54	TFT completes	Verify MAMBA-2 auto-starts
~05:00	MAMBA-2 completes	Verify Liquid auto-starts
~06:42	Liquid completes	Run hyperparameter extraction

---

🚀 Post-Completion Actions

When pipeline completes (~06:42 tomorrow):

# 1. Extract best hyperparameters
cd /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt
python3 scripts/extract_best_hyperparameters.py

# 2. Review updated report
cat HYPERPARAMETER_TUNING_EXECUTION_REPORT.md

# 3. Verify all result files
ls -lh results/*_tuning_50trials.json

# 4. Check completion status
for model in dqn ppo tft mamba2 liquid; do
  echo "$model: $(jq '[.trials[] | select(.status=="completed")] | length' \
    results/${model}_tuning_50trials.json 2>/dev/null || echo "N/A") trials"
done

🔧 Troubleshooting

If Something Goes Wrong

1. Check quick status: ./scripts/quick_status.sh
2. Check GPU: nvidia-smi
3. Check logs: tail -50 /tmp/<model>_tuning_run.log
4. Check processes: ps aux | grep tune_hyperparameters

Common Issues

CUDA OOM (Out of Memory)

• Kill process: kill -9 $(cat /tmp/<model>_tuning.pid)
• Reduce batch size in config
• Restart with reduced batch size

Model Hangs (>15 min no progress)

• Check log: tail -50 /tmp/<model>_tuning_run.log
• Kill process: kill -9 <PID>
• Restart manually using commands in TUNING_PIPELINE_INSTRUCTIONS.md

Auto-Monitor Stops

• Check status: ps -p 3991060
• Restart: nohup scripts/auto_monitor_and_launch.sh > /tmp/auto_monitor.log 2>&1 &

📈 Current System Health

• ✅ GPU: 37% utilization, 135/4096 MiB memory, 63°C (healthy)
• ✅ DQN: 21/50 trials (42%), Runtime: 1h 5m
• ✅ Auto-Monitor: Running, updating every 5 minutes
• ✅ No errors detected
• ✅ No CUDA OOM issues

---

✅ Success Criteria

Pipeline succeeds when:

1. ✅ All 5 models complete 50 trials (250 total)
2. ✅ All result JSON files created (results/*_tuning_50trials.json)
3. ✅ Best hyperparameters extracted for each model
4. ✅ Sharpe ratios >1.5 for all models
5. ✅ No OOM or thermal errors
6. ✅ Report updated with final results

📞 Next Steps for Human Operator

Immediate (Next 1-2 hours)

• Check status every 30 minutes: ./scripts/quick_status.sh
• Verify DQN completes around 19:28
• Verify PPO auto-starts after DQN

Tonight (Before Sleep)

• Run quick status check
• Verify auto-monitor still running
• Check GPU temperature (<85°C)
• Verify no errors in logs

Tomorrow Morning (06:00-08:00)

• Run quick status check
• Verify all models completed
• Run hyperparameter extraction script
• Review final report

Post-Completion (Within 24 Hours)

1. Update model configuration files with best hyperparameters
2. Run production training with optimized hyperparameters
3. Validate models with comprehensive backtesting
4. Compare performance against baseline models

🎉 Deployment Complete

All systems operational and monitoring DQN tuning progress.

Auto-pilot engaged: Pipeline will automatically launch remaining models when DQN completes.

Human intervention required:

• Optional monitoring every 30 minutes
• Run hyperparameter extraction when complete (~06:42 tomorrow)
• Handle any CUDA OOM errors (unlikely based on current memory usage)

Agent 79 Mission Status: ✅ COMPLETE Next Agent Task: Run hyperparameter extraction when pipeline completes Handoff Time: 2025-10-14 18:03 Expected Next Handoff: 2025-10-15 06:42 (after pipeline completion)
