description: Configure VSCode Port Monitor for development server monitoring
---

You are helping the user configure the VSCode Port Monitor extension for real-time port status monitoring.

## Your Task

Guide the user through setting up Port Monitor:

1. **Identify development environment**:
   - Determine which development servers are used (Vite, Next.js, Node.js, etc.)
   - Identify ports that need monitoring
   - Check for any port conflicts

2. **Create Port Monitor configuration**:
   - Set up `.vscode/settings.json` with port monitor settings
   - Configure ports to monitor
   - Set up auto-start behavior if desired
   - Configure notification preferences

3. **Provide environment-specific templates**:
   - Vite (default port 5173)
   - Next.js (default port 3000)
   - Node.js custom ports
   - Multiple concurrent servers

4. **Troubleshooting guidance**:
   - How to resolve port conflicts
   - How to check port status
   - How to restart servers
