# System Health Monitoring Daemon

A robust system health monitoring daemon that tracks hardware status and automatically creates tickets for detected issues.

## Features

- Comprehensive system health monitoring:
  - Drive health (SMART status and disk usage)
  - Memory usage
  - CPU utilization 
  - Network connectivity (Management and Ceph networks)
- Automatic ticket creation for detected issues
- Configurable thresholds and monitoring parameters
- Dry-run mode for testing
- Systemd integration for automated daily checks
- LXC container storage monitoring
- Historical trend analysis for predictive failure detection
- Manufacturer-specific SMART attribute interpretation
- ECC memory error detection

## Installation

1. Copy the service and timer files to systemd:
```bash
sudo cp hwmon.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo cp hwmon.timer /etc/systemd/system/
```
2. Reload systemd daemon:
```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
3. Enable and start the timer:
```bash
sudo systemctl enable hwmon.timer
sudo systemctl start hwmon.timer
```

### One liner (run as root)
```bash
curl -o /etc/systemd/system/hwmon.service http://10.10.10.110:3000/JWS/hwmonDaemon/raw/branch/main/hwmon.service && curl -o /etc/systemd/system/hwmon.timer http://10.10.10.110:3000/JWS/hwmonDaemon/raw/branch/main/hwmon.timer && systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable hwmon.timer && systemctl start hwmon.timer
```

## Manual Execution

1. Run the daemon with dry-run mode to test:
```bash
python3 hwmonDaemon.py --dry-run
```
2. Run the daemon normally:
```bash
python3 hwmonDaemon.py
```


## Configuration

The daemon monitors:

- Disk usage (warns at 80%, critical at 90%)
- LXC storage usage (warns at 80%, critical at 90%)
- Memory usage (warns at 80%)
- CPU usage (warns at 95%)
- Network connectivity to management (10.10.10.1) and Ceph (10.10.90.1) networks
- SMART status of physical drives with manufacturer-specific profiles
- Temperature monitoring (warns at 65°C)
- Automatic duplicate ticket prevention
- Enhanced logging with debug capabilities

## Data Storage

The daemon creates and maintains:

- **Log Directory**: `/var/log/hwmonDaemon/`
- **Historical SMART Data**: JSON files for trend analysis
- **Data Retention**: 30 days of historical monitoring data


## Ticket Creation

The daemon automatically creates tickets with:

- Standardized titles including hostname, hardware type, and scope
- Detailed descriptions of detected issues with drive specifications
- Priority levels based on severity (P2-P4)
- Proper categorization and status tracking
- Executive summaries and technical analysis

## Dependencies

- Python 3
- Required Python packages:
  - psutil
  - requests
- System tools:
  - smartmontools (for SMART disk monitoring)
  - nvme-cli (for NVMe drive monitoring)

## Excluded Paths

The following paths are automatically excluded from monitoring:
- `/media/*`
- `/mnt/pve/mediafs/*` 
- `/opt/metube_downloads`
- Pattern-based exclusions for media and download directories

## Service Configuration

The daemon runs:

- Daily via systemd timer
- As root user for hardware access
- With automatic restart on failure

## Troubleshooting

```bash
# View service logs
sudo journalctl -u hwmon.service -f

# Check service status
sudo systemctl status hwmon.timer

# Manual test run
python3 hwmonDaemon.py --dry-run
```

## Security Note

Ensure proper network security measures are in place as the service downloads and executes code from a specified URL.
