Slice 4 of observability-service-registry. Removes the shared-file
Prometheus bridge; external Prometheus now consumes node-exporter targets
via http_sd_configs against GET /api/monitoring/prometheus-targets.
- services/targets.py: removed write_prometheus_targets() (the file
writer) and its json/Path/get_settings imports; updated module docstring.
build_node_exporter_targets() is unchanged and still powers the HTTP
endpoint.
- main.py: removed the startup write_prometheus_targets call.
- routers/settings.py: removed the _write_prometheus_targets helper and
its three post machine create/update/delete call sites + the now-unused
targets import.
- config.py: removed the prometheus_file_sd_dir field.
- docker-compose.yml / docker-compose.dev.yml: removed the
PROMETHEUS_FILE_SD_DIR backend env var.
- tests: removed TestWritePrometheusTargets + the write_prometheus_targets
import in test_targets.py; rewrote the two TestSettingsMachines tests to
assert machines appear/disappear from /api/monitoring/prometheus-targets
(the surviving HTTP path) instead of the removed file-writer side effect.
ruff clean; 239 backend tests pass.
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.
- 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
