SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Fleet health issues across distributed nodes lead to downtime and manual troubleshooting overhead. The Fleet Watchdog automates health checks, flags failures early, and triggers auto-repair while managing idle sessions and task suggestions to maintain fleet resilience.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Proactive health checks for peer connectivity (NATS) and HTTP channels with configured thresholds.
  • Automatic repair escalation through the fleet repair system, with safety rails like autoRepairLevel and idle handling.
  • Idle detection and proactive task generation to keep fleet productive during downtime.
  • Big-picture awareness and audit through evidence ledger and logs.

Quick Start

Enable watchdog with default settings and verify the status endpoint to confirm it is running.

FAQPage Schema
How does automated fleet health monitoring work for distributed nodes?

Automated fleet health monitoring checks peer connectivity and HTTP channels against configured thresholds to detect offline or degraded nodes. It flags failures early and triggers auto-repair through the fleet repair system to minimize downtime.

How do I set up automatic repair escalation across my fleet?

To set up automatic repair escalation, enable the watchdog with default settings and verify the status endpoint. The system applies safety rails like autoRepairLevel and idle handling while managing repairs across nodes.

Can I monitor NATS connectivity for offline or degraded peers?

Yes, fleet health monitoring actively checks NATS channels alongside HTTP endpoints to diagnose offline or degraded peers. It monitors both communication paths against thresholds to trigger timely repairs.

Does the fleet watchdog provide audit logs for repair actions?

Yes, the fleet watchdog maintains an evidence ledger and logs for big-picture awareness and auditing. It records repair escalations, health check results, and task generation actions across the fleet.

What are the limitations of proactive auto-repair in distributed fleets?

Proactive auto-repair is constrained by safety rails like autoRepairLevel limits and idle handling rules. Repairs depend on monitoring NATS and HTTP channels, and require integration with the existing fleet repair system to function.
