Problem:
The system lacks comprehensive monitoring for production health. Need proactive monitoring of all critical components.

Missing Monitoring:

  • Model inference health and latency
  • Database connection health
  • External service availability (Gitea, Discord, etc.)
  • Memory/CPU usage trends
  • Queue backlog health
  • Failed task rate monitoring

Proposed Health Monitoring:

  1. Model health checks: Periodic inference tests for all providers
  2. Service availability: Regular health checks for external dependencies
  3. Resource monitoring: Memory, CPU, disk usage tracking
  4. Queue monitoring: Backlog size, processing rate, failure rate
  5. Alert system: Proactive notifications for degraded services

Implementation Components:

  • Health check endpoints: /health, /health/deep, /health/models
  • Monitoring dashboard: Real-time system status visualization
  • Alert manager: Email/Discord notifications for critical issues
  • Metrics collection: Time-series data for trend analysis
  • Auto-recovery: Automatic restart of failed components where safe

Integration Points:

  • Dashboard: Add health monitoring UI
  • Vassal loop: Monitor and report on agent health
  • Infrastructure: Add health check middleware
  • External services: Monitor Gitea, Discord, model providers

Files to create/modify:

  • src/infrastructure/health/ (new package)
  • src/dashboard/routes/health.py (expand existing)
  • src/infrastructure/monitoring/ (metrics collection)
  • Health check configurations

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Comprehensive health checks for all critical components
  • Real-time monitoring dashboard
  • Automated alerts for degraded services
  • Trend analysis and historical health data
  • Auto-recovery where safe and appropriate
  • Integration with existing monitoring infrastructure

Priority: HIGH - Production readiness requirement

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN for System Health Monitoring:

OBJECTIVE: Add comprehensive system health monitoring and alerting to improve production reliability

TARGET COMPONENTS:

src/infrastructure/monitoring/
├── __init__.py
├── health_checks.py    # Core health check implementations
├── metrics.py          # System metrics collection
├── alerting.py         # Alert generation and delivery
└── dashboard.py        # Health status dashboard integration

STEP-BY-STEP PLAN:

  1. Create monitoring infrastructure at src/infrastructure/monitoring/

  2. Implement health_checks.py:

    • Database connectivity checks
    • Gitea API availability
    • File system health
    • Memory/CPU usage monitoring
    • Active agent status checks
  3. Build metrics.py:

    • Response time tracking
    • Error rate monitoring
    • Resource utilization metrics
    • Queue length monitoring
    • Agent performance metrics
  4. Develop alerting.py:

    • Threshold-based alerting
    • Integration with existing notification systems
    • Escalation policies
    • Alert fatigue prevention
  5. Create dashboard.py:

    • Real-time health status display
    • Historical metrics visualization
    • System overview dashboard
    • Alert history tracking

INTEGRATION POINTS:

  • Add health endpoints to existing Flask routes
  • Integrate with dashboard for visual monitoring
  • Hook into agent loops for continuous monitoring
  • Add CLI commands for health checks

CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Lightweight monitoring - minimal performance impact
  • Configurable thresholds - no false positive spam
  • Graceful degradation - monitoring failures don't break system
  • Comprehensive coverage - all critical components monitored

TESTING:

  • Unit tests for all monitoring components
  • Integration tests for alert delivery
  • Load testing to verify minimal performance impact
  • Failure scenario testing (database down, API unreachable, etc.)

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:

  1. Health check endpoints return accurate system status
  2. Alerts trigger correctly on threshold violations
  3. Dashboard displays real-time health status
  4. Monitoring adds <5% performance overhead
  5. All components gracefully handle monitoring failures
  6. Comprehensive test coverage for all scenarios

This addresses production reliability and observability - critical for sovereignty.
