What problem does it solve?
Launchd alone restarts Hermes on process exit, but it cannot detect a hung or unresponsive gateway. This watchdog adds a heartbeat-based check that monitors the /health endpoint to keep Hermes responsive.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Heartbeat monitoring: polls the gateway health endpoint every 2 minutes.
- Auto-restart: restarts Hermes via launchctl after 3 consecutive health check failures.
- High availability: uses a KeepAlive launchd plist to keep the watchdog running continuously.
- Mac sleep/wake resilience: handles sleep/wake cycles to recover from transient states.
- Simple setup: provides scripts and plist templates for quick deployment.
Quick Start
Create the watchdog script, configure the launchd plist, and load the service.
