# Monlet Agent

Go agent (Stage 2 MVP). Reads `agent.toml`, runs configured commands on schedule, captures status/output, pushes contract-valid `heartbeat` and `events` batches to the Monlet server with Bearer auth, and survives outages via a local on-disk spool.

## Build and run

```sh
cd agent
GOTOOLCHAIN=local GOMODCACHE=$(pwd)/../.cache/go/pkg/mod GOCACHE=$(pwd)/../.cache/go/build GOBIN=$(pwd)/../.cache/go/bin go test ./...
GOTOOLCHAIN=local GOMODCACHE=$(pwd)/../.cache/go/pkg/mod GOCACHE=$(pwd)/../.cache/go/build GOBIN=$(pwd)/../.cache/go/bin go run ./cmd/monlet-agent -config config.example.toml
```

Do not use `go install` or `go env -w`. Module cache, build cache, and tool binaries stay under repo `.cache/`.

## Configuration

See `config.example.toml`. Required fields: top-level `state_dir`, at least one `[[checks]]` (`id`, `command`, `interval`, `timeout`), and at least one output enabled: `server.enabled = true` or `metrics.enabled = true`. `agent_id` is optional; if omitted, it defaults to `hostname`.

| Key | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `server.enabled` | `false` | Enables heartbeat/event push. Requires `server.url` and `server.token` when true. |
| `metrics.enabled` | `false` | Enables `/metrics`. |
| `labels` | `{}` | Optional heartbeat labels. Max 31 custom labels because `monlet_agent_version` is generated by the agent. Secret-like keys are rejected. |
| `server.heartbeat_interval` | `30s` | ADR-0005 |
| `server.batch_interval` | `10s` | events flush cadence |
| `metrics.listen` | `127.0.0.1:9465` | low-cardinality only |
| `checks[].command` | required | Shell string executed as `/bin/sh -c`; TOML multi-line strings are supported. |
| `checks[].notifications_enabled` | `true` | Set `false` for checks that must not create server notifications. |

Example:

```toml
[[checks]]
id = "disk_root"
command = '''
set -eu
/usr/local/lib/monlet/check_disk_root.sh
'''
interval = "60s"
timeout = "10s"
```

## Behaviour

- Per-check scheduler with no-overlap: a tick is skipped if the previous run is still in flight (`monlet_agent_check_skipped_total`).
- Check commands run through `/bin/sh -c`; the old argv-array form is intentionally unsupported.
- Timeout via `exec.CommandContext` with `Setpgid` so the process group is killed on expiry; timeout → `unknown`.
- Exit code mapping: 0=ok, 1=warning, 2=critical, 3+=unknown (ADR-0005).
- `output` (stdout+stderr) is truncated by **UTF-8 byte length** to 8 KiB with marker `...[truncated N bytes]`.
- `event_id` is UUIDv7 generated on check completion and preserved across spool replay (ADR-0006 idempotency).
- Spool: per-event JSON files in `state_dir/spool/`, FIFO, limits 10 000 events / 50 MiB, drop oldest on overflow (ADR-0005).
- Retry backoff for heartbeat and events: 1s → 30s, exp ×2, jitter ±20%. 4xx are dropped (not retried) to avoid hot loop.
- Bearer auth header on both endpoints (ADR-0007).
- Heartbeats include configured labels plus reserved `monlet_agent_version=<binary version>`.
- Heartbeats include explicit feature flags: `push` from `server.enabled`, `metrics` from `metrics.enabled`.

## Prometheus metrics

Exposed on `metrics.listen` at `/metrics`. Labels are static (`check_id`, `status`, `kind`):

- `monlet_agent_check_runs_total{check_id,status}`
- `monlet_agent_check_skipped_total{check_id}`
- `monlet_agent_check_duration_seconds{check_id}` (histogram)
- `monlet_agent_check_status{check_id}` (0=ok, 1=warning, 2=critical, 3=unknown)
- `monlet_agent_check_exit_code{check_id}`
- `monlet_agent_check_last_run_timestamp_seconds{check_id}`
- `monlet_agent_check_last_success_timestamp_seconds{check_id}`
- `monlet_agent_check_interval_seconds{check_id}`
- `monlet_agent_checks_configured`
- `monlet_agent_spool_events`, `monlet_agent_spool_bytes`
- `monlet_agent_send_attempts_total{kind}`, `monlet_agent_send_failures_total{kind}` (`kind` ∈ `heartbeat`, `events`)
- `monlet_agent_events_accepted_total`, `monlet_agent_events_deduplicated_total`
- `monlet_agent_last_heartbeat_timestamp_seconds`
- `monlet_agent_build_info{version,push,metrics}` (constant 1)
