All four are opt-in via config file:
- FPM_STATUS_URL — PHP-FPM pool stats (active/idle workers, slow requests, max children reached, accepted conn)
- NGINX_STATUS_URL — nginx stub_status (active connections, reading/writing/waiting, accepts/handled/requests)
- SSL_DOMAINS — TLS cert expiry check per domain (days left, valid, expires_at)
- CHECK_PORTS — TCP port availability per port with known service name mapping
Also refactors loadConfigFromFile to return *Config directly instead of a positional tuple.
Previously system CPU was measured first (1s window), then processes
were sampled 1+ second later. Short-lived spikes would appear in system
CPU but not in the process list because the offending process had already
finished. Now both run in parallel so their windows overlap — a process
that caused a spike during the CPU measurement window will be captured.
Both manual 'update' command and auto-updater now restart via
systemctl/launchctl after replacing the binary, so the service
manager picks up the new version cleanly. Previously the running
daemon kept executing the old binary from memory.
- cpu.iowait_percent: % of time CPU is waiting on disk I/O
- tcp: established/time_wait/close_wait/listen counts; max_time_wait
system limit included on Linux for context
- file_descriptors: used vs max (Linux reads /proc/sys/fs/file-nr,
macOS reads kern.openfiles / kern.maxfiles via sysctl)
These three metrics directly surface the most common causes of
unexplained PHP/Laravel timeouts at the system level.
- 'update' now re-execs with sudo when not root (same pattern as status)
- 'version' output: name and version on separate lines, cyan version number,
green for up-to-date, yellow for available update
- 'update' output: matching color treatment, red on failure
- Deduplicate color constants — single package-level set used everywhere
squashfs loop mounts (snap packages) are always 100% full by design and
were skewing the max disk usage shown in the UI. Now filters the same
set of pseudo-filesystems that 'df' excludes by default, plus any
/dev/loop* devices regardless of fstype.
- AUTO_UPDATE=false in config file disables auto-updating
- --no-auto-update flag still works as an override
- next_update_check is omitted from pulses when auto-update is disabled
- status command shows auto-update enabled/disabled state
- config.example documents the new option
- 'pulsewise-collector status' shows hostname, masked token, API endpoint,
service running state (systemd/launchd), and last pulse timestamp
- 'pulsewise-collector uninstall' stops the service, removes the unit file,
config dir, log file, and binary; prompts for confirmation, requires root
- State file written to /etc/pulsewise-collector/state (or ~/.config fallback)
after each successful send to power the 'last pulse' display
- collector_version field added to every metrics payload so the server can
surface update prompts per-host
- Add VERSION file as canonical version source
- build.sh reads VERSION file automatically, injects via -ldflags
- deploy.sh prompts for major/minor/patch bump, injects version via
ldflags into all 4 builds, and writes release/latest JSON file
- Add 'pulsewise-collector version' — prints version and checks for update
- Add 'pulsewise-collector update' — fetches and applies the latest release
- Default version changed to "dev" for local builds without ldflags
Collector now checks for updates at startup (after 30s) and every 6h.
When a newer version is detected via the /collector/release/latest endpoint,
it downloads the new binary, atomically replaces itself, then re-execs
in-place so the service manager sees no interruption.
Auto-update is enabled by default; pass --no-auto-update to disable.
Version is injected at build time via -ldflags for release builds.
- Collect CPU, memory, swap, disk, disk I/O, network (per-second rates),
load average, system info, uptime, and top processes via gopsutil
- Install script supports both Linux (systemd) and macOS (launchd)
- Auto-detect OS and architecture for binary download
- Accept TOKEN env var for non-interactive installs
- Config at /etc/pulsewise-collector/config with simple KEY=VALUE format
- Debug mode logs full response body
- Hostname auto-detected if not set in config
