Remotedaemon Updates: Status Page, Incident Repository, & Database Changes
What developments have taken place today?
Several updates and new features were implemented across various components of the Remotedaemon system, focusing on enhanced monitoring capabilities and improved status page functionality. Primarily, these changes involve package updates, API enhancements for incident management, a redesigned status page with detailed website information and ping data visualization, and foundation work for a dedicated incident repository.
Specifically, several npm packages were updated to their latest versions including electron-to-chromium, remote-daemon-client-typescript, dunder-proto, emittery, and regjsparser. These updates likely incorporate bug fixes, performance improvements, and security patches. The update of remote-daemon-client-typescript also included logging enhancements related to incidents and domains on the status page.
Significant work was done to introduce a new API endpoint for creating and listing website incidents. A new ApiHandlerIncident struct and associated functions (NewApiHandlerIncident, CreateIncident, ListIncidents) were added, enabling users to manage incident records programmatically. The OpenAPI specification was updated to reflect these changes, ensuring proper documentation of the new endpoints. Initial error handling for the ListIncidents method was implemented, enhancing data retrieval reliability.
A completely redesigned status page was created with a new HTML template (status_page.go.tmpl) and accompanying CSS styling and JavaScript integration. The updated status page now displays website information, recent incidents (filtered by enabled status pages), an uptime graph visualizing ping data over the last 24 hours, and key service metrics. The implementation leverages session data for authentication and API calls to fetch relevant information dynamically.
Furthermore, a new repository for managing incident data was established. This included defining an IncidentRepository interface with associated implementations, along with an Incident struct and related functions (Save, SearchOne, Search) for interacting with the database. The Save method now incorporates logic to classify incidents based on error types during the ping process, enriching the data captured.
Finally, modifications were made to the database schema by adding a status_page_enabled column (tinyint(1)) to the website table, defaulting to NULL and populating it with new website entries created today. These updates collectively establish a more robust foundation for monitoring system health and managing incidents within the Remotedaemon environment.
These changes are important because they provide enhanced visibility into system performance, streamline incident management processes, and improve the overall user experience through a more informative status page. The introduction of dedicated incident storage and retrieval mechanisms lays the groundwork for future enhancements like alerting and automated remediation.
