2025-08-11 - Revert Agent Changes to Restore Core Functionality

Context

User requested to revert the monitoring service and website back to before the agent was added (2025-07-27 entry), as the agent functionality added too much complexity and broke core monitoring functions. The API was returning empty data due to source filtering expecting agent data.

Issues Identified

Empty API Response: /api/devices returning {"success":true,"data":[],"source_filter":"main"}
Source Filtering: Monitoring service modified to expect data from different sources (main vs agent)
Data Storage Changes: Device data stored with source keys (${pubkey}_${source}) instead of simple keys
Missing Methods: Service trying to call removed agent methods like initializeMainServerASN

Changes Made

Backend Revert (`dz-device-monitor`)

Backed up agent version: src_backup_with_agent/ and monitoring_with_agent.js.bak
Removed agent endpoints: Deleted /api/agent/data, /api/agent/status, /api/agent/config, /api/sources
Restored simple API: /api/devices endpoint no longer uses source filtering
Fixed data storage:
- pingData.set(pubkey, data) instead of pingData.set(${pubkey}_${source}, data)
- historicalData.get(deviceId) instead of historicalData.get(${deviceId}_${source})
Updated method signatures:
- getDeviceStatus() - removed sourceFilter parameter
- calculateDeviceStats(deviceId) - removed source parameter
- getHistoricalData(deviceId) - removed source parameter
- addHistoricalObservation(deviceId, observation) - removed source parameter
Removed agent methods: processAgentData, processAgentStatus, getAgentConfig, getMonitoringSources, initializeMainServerASN
Removed monitoring sources: Deleted this.monitoringSources object
Cleaned device data: Removed source: 'main' from ping observations

API Response Format

Before: {"success":true,"data":[],"source_filter":"main"}
After: {"success":true,"data":[...devices...],"timestamp":"..."}

Testing Results

✅ API Working: /api/devices now returns 2 devices with full data
✅ Stats Working: /api/stats returns monitoring statistics
✅ Health Working: /health endpoint functional
✅ Service Stable: No more crashes or restart loops
✅ Data Restored: Historical data (136,806 observations) preserved

Sample API Response

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "pubkey": "hWffRFpLrsZoF5r9qJS6AL2D9TEmSvPUBEbDrLc111Y",
      "code": "fra-dz-001-x",
      "location": "Frankfurt",
      "type": "Switch",
      "latency": 112,
      "latency_status": "online",
      "asn": "1299",
      "asn_name": "Arelion, f/k/a Telia Carrier",
      "historical_stats": {
        "min": 112,
        "max": 132,
        "avg": 122,
        "observations": 2
      }
    }
  ],
  "timestamp": "2025-08-11T11:17:41.550Z"
}

Files Modified

/home/ubuntu/dz-device-monitor/src/index.js - Removed agent endpoints, restored simple API
/home/ubuntu/dz-device-monitor/src/services/monitoring.js - Complete revert to pre-agent state

2025-08-13 - Branding Integration (Local Preview)

Changes Made:

Updated global layout /_layouts/default.html to use new wide logo and modern favicon links (temporary mapping to branding square PNG until dedicated favicons provided).
Added header logo CSS and accessibility helpers in /_includes/head-custom.html.
Integrated hero background video on index.md with overlay text and responsive sizing, using /assets/videos/branding/S3V_video_bg_2k_low.mp4 and a poster image.
Replaced text-only headers with branded logo in dzd_monitor.html and api-docs.html.

Assets Used:

Wide logos from assets/images/branding/wide/ (primary: S3V_Transparent logo_wide_6k.png).
Square symbol from assets/images/branding/square/S3V_Square_Transparent symbol_3k_med.png (used for temporary favicon links and apple-touch-icon).
Video background from assets/videos/branding/S3V_video_bg_2k_low.mp4.

Notes:

Favicons are currently pointed at PNG placeholders; recommend providing proper favicon-32x32.png, favicon-16x16.png, apple-touch-icon.png, and site.webmanifest for production.
All changes prepared on a feature branch and intended for local preview before public release.

2024-09-13 - Installing New Graphics on s3rdv.com

Context

The user requested to install new graphics on their Jekyll website hosted at https://s3rdv.com on GitHub Pages. Based on repository analysis:

New branding assets found in assets/images/branding/ (PNGs, JPGs for logos and symbols)
New video asset in assets/videos/branding/ (MP4 for hero background)
New SVG icons in assets/images/ (validator-icon.svg, infrastructure-icon.svg, blockchain-network.svg)
These are already referenced in index.md, _layouts/default.html, api-docs.html, dzd_monitor.html
Site is on branch ‘branding-refresh’ with untracked assets and modified files ready for commit

Reasoning

The ‘new graphics’ refer to the branding images, video, and SVGs recently added but not yet committed/pushed.
They are integrated into the site structure (hero video, logos, favicons, service icons).
To ‘install’ means adding to git, committing, performing security sweep, and pushing to deploy on GitHub Pages.
Selected all relevant graphics as ‘some of them’ wasn’t specified; excluded backups like dzd_monitor_with_agent.html.bak.
Followed user preferences: Provide commit/push commands, run security sweep, use absolute paths, document verbosely here.

Changes Planned (Not Executed)

git add assets/images/branding/ assets/videos/ (add new graphics)
git add modified files (AI_BOT_LOG.md, index.md, etc.)
Security sweep via git diff
Commit with message ‘Add new branding graphics and integrate into site’
Push branch to origin

Benefits

Deploys new branding to live site
Enhances visual appeal with logos, icons, hero video
Maintains documentation in this log

Next Steps

2024-09-13 - Hairpin NAT Fix for Dashboard Connection

Context

User reported dashboard connection error showing “Connection Error” when accessing s3rdv.com/dzd_monitor. Investigation revealed hairpin NAT issue - router doesn’t support NAT loopback, preventing dashboard from accessing api.s3rdv.com from same network.

Root Cause Analysis

DZ Device Monitor service: ✅ Running (localhost:3000)
Caddy reverse proxy: ✅ Running (HTTPS certificates valid)
External API access: ❌ Blocked by hairpin NAT limitation
Local API access: ✅ Working (confirmed with curl localhost:3000)

Solution Implemented

Updated dashboard API configuration to detect access from s3rdv.com and use direct server IP instead of external domain:

const API_BASE = window.location.hostname === 'localhost' || window.location.hostname === '127.0.0.1'
    ? 'http://localhost:3000'
    : window.location.hostname === 's3rdv.com'
    ? 'http://192.190.136.34:3000'  // Direct to server IP to bypass hairpin NAT
    : 'https://api.s3rdv.com';      // External HTTPS for other domains

Benefits

Resolves connection error on dashboard
Maintains HTTPS for external access
Preserves localhost development capability
No infrastructure changes required

Deployment Status

Changes committed to branding-refresh branch
Ready for push to GitHub Pages (requires SSH key authentication)

Next Steps

Push changes to GitHub with SSH authentication
Verify dashboard functionality at s3rdv.com/dzd_monitor
Monitor for successful device data display

2025-09-01 03:45:00 - Ping Measurement System Analysis

Current Ping Measurement System Analysis:

How Measurements Work Currently:

Single Measurement: Each 30-second check uses doublezero latency --json which provides avg_latency_ns
DoubleZero CLI: The CLI tool itself likely does internal averaging, but we get one value per device per check
Data Structure: Each device returns min_latency_ns, max_latency_ns, avg_latency_ns, and reachable status
Retry Logic: System retries up to 3 times if less than 80% of devices return valid data
5-minute Rolling Stats: Currently implemented - uses last 10 observations for MIN/MAX/AVG display

Current Issues Identified:

Missing DEVIATION: User wants DEVIATION statistic added to 5-minute rolling display
Single Point Measurement: Each check relies on one measurement per device (potential for outliers)
Unknown CLI Behavior: Unclear if doublezero latency does internal averaging or single ping

User Requirements:

Display 5-minute MAX/MIN/AVG/DEVIATION on main page tiles
Consider multiple ping sampling to reduce outliers (suggested 3 pings per device per check)
Make information more digestible for users

Hybrid Approach Decision: User chose to keep main website on GitHub Pages and move only /dzd_monitor to Caddy with User-Agent detection. This provides easy revertibility via DNS changes only.

Analysis & Recommendations:

DEVIATION: Easy to implement using standard deviation formula on 5-minute rolling data
Multi-ping sampling: Would require custom ping implementation instead of relying on doublezero latency
Trade-offs: More pings = better accuracy but longer check times and higher network load

Next Steps: Implement DEVIATION calculation and evaluate multi-ping sampling approach.

2025-09-01 17:40:00 - 5-Minute Statistics & UX Improvements Complete

Changes Implemented:

Backend Changes (dz-device-monitor/src/services/monitoring.js):

5-Minute DEVIATION: Changed deviation calculation from 24-hour (2880 observations) to 5-minute (10 observations)
- Now uses recent5min array instead of recentLatencies.slice(-2880)
- Calculates deviation against 5-minute average instead of 24-hour average
- More responsive to recent latency changes

Frontend Changes (s3rdv_website/dzd_monitor.html):

Enhanced Tooltips: Completely redesigned hover tooltips for better user understanding:
- MIN: “Minimum latency observed in the last 5 minutes” with value, timeframe, and sampling info
- MAX: “Maximum latency observed in the last 5 minutes” with detailed context
- AVG: “Average latency over the last 5 minutes” with measurement count
- LAST: “Most recent latency measurement” with deviation from 5-min average and status
- DEVIATION: Updated to show “Last 10 observations (5 minutes)” timeframe

Favicon Fix: Added proper favicon links to dzd_monitor.html:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="/assets/images/branding/square/S3V_Square_Transparent symbol_3k_med.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="/assets/images/branding/square/S3V_Square_Transparent symbol_3k_med.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/assets/images/branding/square/S3V_Square_Transparent symbol_3k_med.png">

Label Clarity: Changed “First Data” to “Monitoring Started” to distinguish from per-device “Earliest Observed”
- Monitoring Started: When the system-wide monitoring service began
- Earliest Observed: When each specific device was first detected (shown in device modal)

Mobile Version Updates (s3rdv_website/dzd_monitor_mobile.html):

Applied same label change: “First Data” → “Monitoring Started”

Service Management:

Successfully restarted dz-device-monitor.service to apply backend changes
Service running normally with new 5-minute deviation calculations

User Experience Improvements:

✅ More Digestible Information: All metrics now use 5-minute rolling windows for current status
✅ Better Tooltips: Detailed explanations of what each metric represents
✅ Consistent Branding: Favicon now appears on all pages
✅ Clear Labels: Eliminated confusion between system-wide and device-specific timestamps
✅ Real-time Responsiveness: Deviation now reflects recent changes, not 24-hour history

Technical Benefits:

Faster Response: 5-minute deviation detects issues 288x faster than 24-hour window
Better Accuracy: Statistics reflect current device performance, not historical averages
User-Friendly: Tooltips provide context without overwhelming technical users
Professional Appearance: Consistent favicon across all dashboard pages

Status: All requested improvements implemented and deployed. Dashboard now provides more digestible, real-time information with enhanced user experience.
