The 2026-06-16/17 observability update externalised metrics to
Prometheus + node_exporter + Grafana, but the legacy Manage-side
SSH-scraping monitor was never removed. It duplicated the new stack,
ran SSH df on every machine every 300s, and fed nothing (its UI was
deleted in e2ad731). This slice decommissions the duplication.
Removed (backend):
- services/monitoring_poller.py (MonitoringPoller) — entire file
- services/monitoring_actions.py (disk_space, run_machine_operation,
poll_machine_snapshot, build_machine_client) — entire file;
run_machine_operation had only 2 callers (the poller + /disk), both gone
- tests/test_monitoring_actions.py
- endpoints: POST /api/monitoring/poller, GET /machines/{id}/actions,
GET /disk (and the now-dead _resolve_machine helper)
- lifespan wiring (main.py), dependency wrapper (dependencies.py),
poller.start()/kick() from machine save (routers/settings.py)
- SettingsStore: monitoring_machine_actions table CREATE + 2 indexes +
record/list/prune_machine_actions methods; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS on
startup cleans existing DBs (user-approved)
- config knobs: monitoring_poll_interval_seconds,
monitoring_poll_initial_delay_seconds, monitoring_action_retention_days
- test_api.py: TestMonitoring._ensure_machine + test_disk
Kept (fits the new model): /machines, /prometheus-targets, /alerts,
/alertmanager-status, /alertmanager-webhook; the disk_usage JOB template
(manual on-demand, not monitoring); node_exporter_* machine fields
(they point Prometheus at the right host).
Gate: backend pytest 173 passed; ruff clean.
- Add get_api_key() and require_api_key() to auth.py
- Add generic key-value settings storage to SettingsStore
- Add test_api_key_auth to verify the implementation
- Uses secrets.compare_digest for timing-safe comparison
- Auto-generates API key on first use and stores in settings DB
- backend/ uses proper Python src layout (src/media_library_viewer_api/)
with pyproject.toml, hatchling build, and PYTHONPATH=src convention
- frontend/ is a Vite + React + TypeScript SPA
- archive/ preserves the original Streamlit prototype for reference
- Cleaned up root to only contain docs, license, and subproject dirs
- Updated README for the new dual-subproject architecture
Backend:
- FastAPI app with 17 REST endpoints covering dashboard, monitoring,
media index, file browser, and jobs
- Reuses existing clients/domain/services unchanged
- pydantic-settings config, dependency injection, CORS setup
- Auto-generated OpenAPI docs at /docs
Frontend:
- Vite + React + TypeScript SPA
- @tanstack/react-query for data fetching with polling
- ag-grid-react for media table and file browser
- recharts for monitoring charts
- Tailwind CSS styling
- 4 pages: Dashboard, Monitoring, Media, File Browser
- Typed API client matching all backend endpoints
Also:
- docs/MIGRATION_PLAN.md with full architecture plan
- Updated .gitignore for both subprojects
- Streamlit app preserved for now (can coexist)
