Hey @solarpush

Sorry for the delay in my response.

Performance monitoring sounds like a cool addition, but I think the snap is perfectly functional without it. Thus, I would prefer to limit it to manual connection and let the user decide. You can use snapctl is-connected to check if the interface is connected and:

  • explain the user that performance monitoring functionality requires hardware-observe and ask them to manually connect it if they need that functionality
  • gracefully handle cases where the interface is not connected

Ok, i remove it.

Just I have another issue with metadata red flags. But @verterok help me right now.

Thanks you. Best regards.
