Replace ZMQ-based service start/stop commands with SSH execution in tmux
popups. This provides better user feedback with real-time systemctl output
while eliminating blocking operations from the main message processing loop.
Changes:
- Service start/stop now use SSH with progress display
- Added backup functionality with 'B' key
- Preserved transitional icons (↑/↓) for immediate visual feedback
- Removed all ZMQ service control commands and handlers
- Updated configuration to include backup_alias setting
- All operations (rebuild, backup, services) now use consistent SSH interface
This ensures stable heartbeat processing while providing superior user
experience with live command output and service status feedback.
Update release.yml to use correct path hosts/services/cm-dashboard.nix
instead of hosts/common/cm-dashboard.nix. Also update documentation
in CLAUDE.md and README.md to reflect the correct file location.
- Add ServiceLogConfig structure for per-host service log paths
- Implement L key handler for custom log file viewing via tmux popup
- Update dashboard config to support service_logs HashMap
- Add tail -f command execution over SSH for real-time log streaming
- Update status line to show L: Custom shortcut
- Document configuration format in CLAUDE.md
Each service can now have custom log file paths configured per host,
accessible via L key with same tmux popup interface as journalctl.
New Features:
- Add journalctl service logs viewer via Shift+J key
- Opens tmux popup with real-time log streaming using journalctl -f
- Shows last 50 lines and follows new log entries for selected service
- Popup titled 'Logs: service.service' for clear context
Improvements:
- Increase tmux popup size to 80% width and height for better readability
- Applies to both rebuild (R) and logs (J) popups
- Compact status line text to fit new J: Logs shortcut
- Updated documentation with new key binding
Navigation Updates:
- J: Show service logs (journalctl in tmux popup)
- Status line: Tab: Host • ↑↓/jk: Select • r: Rebuild • s/S: Start/Stop • J: Logs • q: Quit
Bump version to v0.1.46
Service stop/start operations were failing because systemctl commands
were missing the .service suffix. This caused the new user-stopped
tracking feature to mark services but not actually control them.
Changes:
- Add .service suffix to systemctl commands in service control handler
- Matches pattern used throughout systemd collector
- Fixes service start/stop functionality via dashboard
Clean up legacy documentation:
- Remove outdated TODO.md, AGENTS.md, and test files
- Update CLAUDE.md with current architecture and rules only
- Comprehensive README.md rewrite with technical documentation
- Document user-stopped service tracking feature
Bump version to v0.1.44
Updated documentation to reflect major UI improvements:
- Documented simplified navigation system (no more panel switching)
- Updated current status to October 28, 2025 with v0.1.33
- Described complete service discovery and visibility features

- Consolidated service discovery achievements and current working state
- Implement per-collector interval timing respecting NixOS config
- Remove all hardcoded timeout/interval values and make configurable
- Add tmux session requirement check for TUI mode (bypassed for headless)
- Update agent to send config hash in Build field instead of nixos version
- Add nginx check interval, HTTP timeouts, and ZMQ transmission interval configs
- Update NixOS configuration with new configurable values
Breaking changes:
- Build field now shows nix store config hash (8 chars) instead of nixos version
- All intervals now follow individual collector configuration instead of global
New configuration fields:
- systemd.nginx_check_interval_seconds
- systemd.http_timeout_seconds
- systemd.http_connect_timeout_seconds
- zmq.transmission_interval_seconds
- Remove all SystemRebuild command infrastructure from agent and dashboard
- Replace with direct tmux popup execution: ssh {user}@{host} {alias}
- Add configurable SSH user and rebuild alias in dashboard config
- Eliminate agent process crashes during rebuilds
- Simplify architecture by removing ZMQ command streaming complexity
- Clean up all related dead code and fix compilation warnings
Benefits:
- Process isolation: rebuild runs independently via SSH

- Enhanced services widget to show progress states (⏳ restarting)
- Integrated command execution with existing keyboard navigation
Keyboard Controls:
- Services Panel: Space (start/stop), R (restart)
- System Panel: R (nixos-rebuild switch)
- Backup Panel: B (trigger backup)
Technical Architecture:
- Command flow: UI → Dashboard → ZMQ → Agent → systemctl/nixos-rebuild
- Status tracking: InProgress/Success/Failed states with visual indicators
- Maintenance mode: Automatic /tmp/cm-maintenance file management
- Service feedback: Icon transitions (● → ⏳ → ● with status text)

Add proper hierarchical tree display for storage pools and drives:
- Pool headers with status icons and type indication (Single/multi-drive)
- Individual drive lines with ├─ tree symbols and health status
- Usage summary with └─ end symbol and capacity status
- T: and W: prefixes for temperature and wear level metrics
- Themed status icons using StatusIcons::get_icon() with proper colors
- 2-space indentation for clean tree structure appearance
Replace flat storage display with beautiful tree format:
● Storage steampool (multi-drive):
├─ ● sdb T:35°C W:12%
├─ ● sdc T:38°C W:8%
└─ ● 78.1% 1250.3GB/1600.0GB
Uses agent-calculated status from NixOS-configured thresholds.
Update CLAUDE.md with complete implementation specification.

This commit addresses several key issues identified during development:
Major Changes:
- Replace hardcoded top CPU/RAM process display with real system data
- Add intelligent process monitoring to CpuCollector using ps command
- Fix disk metrics permission issues in systemd collector
- Optimize service collection to focus on status, memory, and disk only
- Update dashboard widgets to display live process information
Process Monitoring Implementation:
- Added collect_top_cpu_process() and collect_top_ram_process() methods
- Implemented ps-based monitoring with accurate CPU percentages
- Added filtering to prevent self-monitoring artifacts (ps commands)
- Enhanced error handling and validation for process data
- Dashboard now shows realistic values like "claude (PID 2974) 11.0%"
Service Collection Optimization:
- Removed CPU monitoring from systemd collector for efficiency
- Enhanced service directory permission error logging
- Simplified services widget to show essential metrics only
- Fixed service-to-directory mapping accuracy
UI and Dashboard Improvements:
- Reorganized dashboard layout with btop-inspired multi-panel design
- Updated system panel to include real top CPU/RAM process display
- Enhanced widget formatting and data presentation
- Removed placeholder/hardcoded data throughout the interface
Technical Details:
- Updated agent/src/collectors/cpu.rs with process monitoring
- Modified dashboard/src/ui/mod.rs for real-time process display
- Enhanced systemd collector error handling and disk metrics
- Updated CLAUDE.md documentation with implementation details
Implements ZMQ command protocol for dashboard-to-agent communication:
- Agents listen on port 6131 for REQ/REP commands
- Dashboard sends "refresh" command when 'r' key is pressed
- Agents force immediate collection of all metrics via force_refresh_all()
- Fresh data is broadcast immediately to dashboard
- Updated help text to show "r: Refresh all metrics"
Also includes metric-level caching architecture foundation for future
granular control over individual metric update frequencies.
Replace traditional 5-second polling with tiered collection strategy:
- RealTime (5s): CPU load, memory usage
- Medium (5min): Service status, disk usage
- Slow (15min): SMART data, backup status
Key improvements:
- Reduce CPU usage from 9.5% to <2%
- Cache warming for instant dashboard responsiveness
- Background refresh at 80% of tier intervals
- Thread-safe cache with automatic cleanup
Remove legacy polling code - smart caching is now the default and only mode.
Agent startup enhanced with parallel cache population for immediate data availability.
Architecture: SmartCache + CachedCollector + tiered CollectionScheduler
