- Show transparent build process including downloads, compilation, and activation
- Maintain real-time visibility into complete rebuild process
- Add terminal popup UI component with 80% screen coverage and terminal styling
- Extend ZMQ protocol with CommandOutputMessage for streaming output
- Implement real-time output streaming in agent system rebuild handler
- Add keyboard controls (ESC/Q to close, ↑↓ to scroll) for popup interaction
- Fix system panel Build display to show actual NixOS build instead of config hash
- Update service filters in README with wildcard patterns for better matching
- Add periodic progress updates during nixos-rebuild execution
- Integrate command output handling in dashboard main loop

- Foundation for cross-host version comparison
- Both agent -V and dashboard show versions
Redirect nixos-rebuild stdout/stderr to /var/log/cm-dashboard/nixos-rebuild.log
while keeping the process detached. This allows monitoring rebuild progress
and debugging why cargo builds in /tmp aren't visible when agent runs.
Use: tail -f /var/log/cm-dashboard/nixos-rebuild.log to monitor progress.
Run nixos-rebuild with nohup in background to prevent the agent
from killing itself during system rebuild. The rebuild process
now runs independently, allowing the agent to return success
immediately and avoid crashes during binary updates.
This fixes the issue where agent would crash during rebuild
and restart with the old binary due to missing daemon-reload.
Fixes kernel namespace sandboxing issues when running as systemd service.
The --no-sandbox flag disables Nix build sandboxing which requires
kernel namespaces not available in restricted service environments.
Remove sudo -u cm wrapper that was causing git repository ownership
mismatch. Now cm-agent runs nixos-rebuild directly as root, avoiding
the ownership conflict between cm-agent (git clone) and cm user.
Updated sudo rules to allow cm-agent -> root nixos-rebuild access.
Use explicit /run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-rebuild path instead of
'nixos-rebuild' command to match sudo rules exactly. This resolves
'command not allowed' errors when the command resolves to nix store paths.
- Add nixos_config_api_key_file option to NixOS configuration
- Support reading API token from file for private repositories
- Automatically inject token into HTTPS URLs (https://token@host/repo.git)
- Graceful fallback to original URL if key file missing/empty
- Default key file location: /var/lib/cm-dashboard/git-api-key
Usage: echo 'your-api-token' | sudo tee /var/lib/cm-dashboard/git-api-key
Replace direct directory access with git clone/pull approach:
- Add git configuration options (url, branch, working_dir) to NixOS module
- Update SystemConfig and AgentCommand to use git parameters
- Implement ensure_git_repository() method for clone/pull operations
- Agent clones nixosbox to /var/lib/cm-dashboard/nixos-config
- Maintains security while solving permission denied issues
The agent now manages its own copy of the configuration without
needing access to /home/cm directory.
- Add sudo permissions for systemctl and nixos-rebuild commands
- Use sudo in agent command execution for proper privileges
- Fix backup collector to handle missing status files gracefully
- Eliminate backup error spam when no backup system is configured
This implements the core functionality for executing remote commands through
the dashboard and providing real-time visual feedback to users.
Key Features:
- Remote service control (start/stop/restart) via existing keyboard shortcuts
- System rebuild command with maintenance mode integration
- Real-time visual feedback with service status transitions
- ZMQ command protocol extension for service and system operations
Implementation Details:
- Extended AgentCommand enum with ServiceControl and SystemRebuild variants
- Added agent-side handlers for systemctl and nixos-rebuild execution
- Implemented command status tracking system for visual feedback
- 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)
- Remove all Default implementations from agent configuration structs
- Make configuration file required for agent startup
- Update NixOS module to generate complete agent.toml configuration
- Add comprehensive configuration options to NixOS module including:
- Service include/exclude patterns for systemd collector
- All thresholds and intervals
- ZMQ communication settings
- Notification and cache configuration
- Agent now fails fast if no configuration provided
- Eliminates configuration drift between defaults and NixOS settings
Add comprehensive hysteresis support to prevent status oscillation near
threshold boundaries while maintaining responsive alerting.
Key Features:
- HysteresisThresholds with configurable upper/lower limits
- StatusTracker for per-metric status history
- Default gaps: CPU load 10%, memory 5%, disk temp 5°C
Updated Components:
- CPU load collector (5-minute average with hysteresis)
- Memory usage collector (percentage-based thresholds)
- Disk temperature collector (SMART data monitoring)
- All collectors updated to support StatusTracker interface
Cache Interval Adjustments:
- Service status: 60s → 10s (faster response)
- Disk usage: 300s → 60s (more frequent checks)
- Backup status: 900s → 60s (quicker updates)
- SMART data: moved to 600s tier (10 minutes)
Architecture:
- Individual metric status calculation in collectors
- Centralized StatusTracker in MetricCollectionManager
- Status aggregation preserved in dashboard widgets
- Add BackupCollector for reading TOML status files with disk space metrics
- Implement BackupWidget with disk usage display and service status details
- Fix backup script disk space parsing by adding missing capture_output=True
- Update backup widget to show actual disk usage instead of repository size
- Fix timestamp parsing to use backup completion time instead of start time
- Resolve timezone issues by using UTC timestamps in backup script
- Add disk identification metrics (product name, serial number) to backup status
- Enhance UI layout with proper backup monitoring integration
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
Replaced system-wide disk usage with accurate per-service tracking by scanning
service-specific directories. Services like sshd now correctly show minimal
disk usage instead of misleading system totals.
- Rename storage widget and add drive capacity/usage columns
- Move host display to main dashboard title for cleaner layout
- Replace separate alert displays with color-coded row highlighting
- Add per-service disk usage collection using du command
- Update services widget formatting to handle small disk values
- Restructure into workspace with dedicated agent and dashboard packages
