Without it the page renders zeros, all-clear pills and green dots when the
orchestrator has stopped entirely — its healthiest appearance describing a
machine with no watchdogs, against a header promising absence is never drawn as
an all-clear. The heartbeat already existed; overdue is measured against the
cron schedule rather than an assumed fifteen minutes.
Half the hard-pressure stop list is containers that are not installed, so at
level 3 it sheds half the memory the card implies. Badged on the lists where a
dead entry costs something and deliberately not on Scan ignore, where ignoring
something already gone is the point — a card of dashed pills by design would
teach the eye to skip the badge where it has to be believed.
It is the setting people arrive looking for — the one that takes a container out
of the watchdog's hands rather than tuning what it does with it. Its hint says
so, because it silences a real fault as readily as a noisy one.
Tier 1 limits, both pressure lists and Required get add, remove and adjust on
the page that shows what they did. Per-entry comments are carried through the
rebuild rather than regenerated — they hold the reason for every number.
The tab collected over SSH on every 30s poll — 8.3s a load with HOST2 down.
vv_parse_conf_scalar() captured to end of line, so a commented toggle parsed as
"true # HOST2 back online": every threshold read right because (int) stops at
the first non-digit, and 38 booleans read wrong. The Fallback tab has been
showing failover disabled while it was on.
The page states what struck but never why, and the log that would say is the
orchestrator's, not one per watchdog. Why? opens troubleshoot against it —
read-only, because the page's contract is that it changes nothing.
Documents each tab's purpose, what it renders, and which endpoints it polls.
Pages that start with markup get the header in a <?php ?> block so it never
reaches the browser.
Also corrects the layer diagram in README-unraid.md: eight of eleven pages hold
no PHP logic and poll api/ for everything — only auth, monitor and scheduler
require an include/ file directly.
- Replace python3/PyYAML Authelia ACL parser with pure PHP (no deps available on Unraid)
- Cert tab now pulls live from NPM API instead of cert_monitor.sh — auto-discovers all managed certs sorted by urgency
- Watchdog page: add missing GB constant and _fmtBytes/_relTime functions that were causing silent render failure
- Rsync settings card: pin to far-right 3 columns (grid-column:6/-1), toggle grid narrowed to 2 columns
- Add CLAUDE.md project context file on /boot for session persistence across reboots
- claude_startup.sh: symlink CLAUDE.md into /root on array start
PHP architecture:
- Extract common.php from monitor.php — shared system functions (vv_system_info,
vv_memory_breakdown, vv_remote_hosts_stats, disk/GPU/UPS/network/docker/parity, etc.)
now live in one place; monitor.php and watchdog.php both require common.php
- Add unraid_api.php as explicit include (was implicit via config.php chain)
- confform.php: add missing require_once config.php (implicit dep made explicit)
- Delete orphaned pages/docs.php and pages/config.php (absorbed into scheduler)
Watchdog page:
- Add Storage watchdog card (growth + log strikes, baseline age, suppress ceilings)
- Add Network watchdog card (NPM strikes, DDNS domain/container, NPM URL)
- One host per row layout — all 5 watchdog cards equally spaced via inner grid
- Watchdog now uses Unraid API for local system stats; remote nodes with API key
but no SSH get system info from vv_remote_hosts_stats() with api_only flag
- SSH bundle: /proc/meminfo passed as raw section instead of awk-parsed header
fields — fixes RAM showing 0 on remote hosts where awk quoting was unreliable
- vv_wd_local_system() rewritten as thin wrapper over vv_system_info() + vv_memory_breakdown()
Monitor page:
- Watchdog card: add stability strikes, storage watchdog strikes, network NPM status,
live system stats (rootfs/log/tmp %, RAM free, load, CPU temp, zombies, NIC, sshd)
- Row height: switch from max-height on cards to minmax(0, calc(...)) on grid track —
all cards in a row now fill to the tallest card's height correctly (fixes Pools card
being shorter than neighbours)
Scheduler page:
- Add Tools section above Custom Scripts — lists Tools/*.sh with run/dry-run/cron/log
- vv_tools_scripts() function in scheduler.php include
Tools:
- Add docker_prune_images.sh — removes dangling Docker images; --dry-run and --status modes
