Changelog

All notable changes to Manage. Breaking changes are marked with BREAKING.

[Unreleased]

Added — Observability service registry

• Alertmanager is now a service type. Configure Alertmanager, Grafana, and Prometheus instances in the UI on the Services page; all three are first-class service-registry entries with dashboard widgets (active_alerts, Grafana link, Prometheus metric).
• New monitoring endpoints resolve the configured service instance and probe its health: GET /api/monitoring/grafana-status, /prometheus-status. The /alerts and /alertmanager-status endpoints now take an optional service_id and pick the first enabled alertmanager instance by default.
• The Observability page discovers Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager from the registry and renders health cards; the dashboard active_alerts widget sums firing alerts by severity.

Changed — Observability is now external only

• Removed all observability services from docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.dev.yml. They now deploy only the backend and frontend. The monitoring network and the prometheus/loki/alloy/grafana/ alertmanager/node-exporter services and their named volumes were deleted, and the GRAFANA_APP_HOST Traefik rule was removed.
• Manage now connects to existing Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager instances and never ships its own stack. The previous in-compose stack is preserved as an optional, deploy-it-yourself example in docker-compose.observability.yml (config under monitoring/, documented in docs/observability-runbooks.md).
• Removed the now-orphaned combined monitoring/prometheus/prometheus.yml; the standalone stack uses monitoring/prometheus/prometheus.standalone.yml.
• Removed the Prometheus file-SD bridge (PROMETHEUS_FILE_SD_DIR + the write_prometheus_targets file writer). External Prometheus instances now consume node-exporter targets via http_sd_configs against GET /api/monitoring/prometheus-targets. The webhook receiver is log-only.

BREAKING

• Observability is configured entirely via the service registry; the backend alertmanager_url/alertmanager_webhook_url and frontend VITE_GRAFANA_URL/VITE_PROMETHEUS_URL environment variables, plus PROMETHEUS_FILE_SD_DIR, were removed. Re-create your Alertmanager / Grafana / Prometheus instances on the Services page after upgrading. The only observability env var remaining is PROMETHEUS_ENABLED (toggles Manage's own /metrics endpoint).

Added — Service registry

• Runtime service registry persisted in the backend SQLite database. External services (Grafana, Prometheus, Jellyfin, Nextcloud, SSH task runner) are now configured in the app instead of via environment variables.
• Services page (/services) to create, list, and delete service instances.
• Service detail pages (/services/:serviceType/:serviceId) to edit name/enabled state, rotate secrets, and view the widgets a service provides.
• Service definitions live as Pydantic modules in backend/.../integrations/, each declaring its config schema, secret fields, and widget kinds.
• Multi-instance support: multiple Grafana/Jellyfin/etc. instances per type.
• SSH task runner service records run history in a new service_task_runs table, shown on the runner's service page.

Changed

• Dashboard widgets are now service-bound (reference a service instance + widget kind) or built-in (backups, static text). The "Add widget" flow is pick-service → pick-widget-kind → configure.
• Deleting a service cascade-deletes widgets that reference it.

Security

• Service secrets (API keys, tokens, passphrases) are encrypted at rest with Fernet.

BREAKING

• Saved Actions (server tasks) now target ssh_tasks service instances instead of monitoring machines. The default_machine_id field on saved tasks was replaced with default_service_id; the legacy saved_task_runs table was dropped and run history now lives in service_task_runs. Re-create SSH task runner services on the Services page and re-link saved actions after upgrading.

• MANAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY is now required to start the backend. Generate one with:

  python -c "from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())"
  

• The GRAFANA_URL and PROMETHEUS_URL backend environment variables were removed; Grafana/Prometheus URLs now live on service records configured in the UI. Re-create them on the Services page after upgrading.

• The legacy widget/addon-pages model (/addons/:addonId, /api/widgets/types, /api/widgets/sources) was removed in favor of the service registry.

• Default dashboard widget seeding was removed; a fresh install starts with an empty dashboard. Add widgets from the dashboard's edit dialog after configuring services.

Notes / follow-ups

• Machine-level Jellyfin/Jellyseerr app config still powers the Media/Users/Files pages. Migrating those onto the service registry is a separate follow-up change (see openspec/changes/service-registry/design.md §12.5).

Follow-up #1 — remove dead machine Jellyfin/Jellyseerr fields

With Jellyfin/Jellyseerr now resolved from the service registry, the machine-level Jellyfin/Jellyseerr fields are dead config. Removed from dependencies.py (dead _jellyseerr_client_for; _resolve_machine simplified to SSH-only), services/settings_store.py, routers/settings.py (MachineInput), frontend types, the Settings.tsx form, and frontend test fixtures. Existing DB rows may still carry these keys in config_json; they are inert and get dropped on the next machine save. No data migration required.
