## Description

Open MCT is a web-based framework designed for visualizing telemetry data and monitoring the health of complex systems. It provides a centralized environment for ingesting, processing, and displaying real-time and historical data streams through customizable operator dashboards.

The platform is built on a modular architecture that allows for the integration of external data sources and the addition of custom features through a plugin system. By utilizing a hierarchical object-graph model and a unified interface for time-series data, the framework ensures that information is consistently represented and accessible across different visualization components.

The system supports a wide range of monitoring and observability tasks, enabling users to construct interactive interfaces tailored to specific operational requirements. It is distributed as a web-based application that can be extended to support specialized data types and processing capabilities.
