Frank 590853c133 alerting: Alertmanager + Signal relay deliver firing rules to Frank's phone
- dankclaw/observability/quadlet/alertmanager.container: loopback :9093,
  config from shared/prometheus/alertmanager.yml, family conventions
- shared/prometheus/alertmanager.yml: single signal receiver, group_by
  alertname, 30s/5m/4h intervals, webhook to host.containers.internal:18093
- scripts/signal-relay.py + .service: host-side user unit, loopback :18093,
  15-min dedupe, sends via signal-cli account 318311
- prometheus.yml: alerting block to alertmanager:9093; stale comments fixed
- llm-fleet.yml: delivery header; LlmSpecDecodeOff annotation now drafter-agnostic
- deploy.sh/deploy-remote.sh/deploy-plan.py: alertmanager service, config
  copy, relay install, planner routing for config + relay files
- homepage: alertmanager status card (loopback probe)
- tests: alertmanager in UNITS/loopback/health/PAIRS/planner + five new
  delivery-path seams (webhook<->relay contract, prometheus target, relay
  unit, signal-cli account, planner routing)
- docs: Alertmanager.md component page, Observability.md, Prometheus.md,
  index.md, AGENTS.md delivery line

# Prometheus
Prometheus collects metrics from every service on Dankclaw by scraping their `/metrics` endpoints, and feeds Grafana once a datasource exists. node-exporter supplies host metrics from both machines.
**Host:** Dankclaw — **Vhost:** `prometheus.franksdank.cloud` (guarded: Anubis →
Authentik; post-auth the Caddy vhost routes straight to `prometheus:9090`) —
**Port:** 9090 (loopback) — **Docs:** https://prometheus.io/docs
## Facts
| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Image | `docker.io/prom/prometheus:latest` |
| Published | `127.0.0.1:9090` → 9090, loopback only (see [[Observability]] → Exposure) |
| Unit | `dankclaw/observability/quadlet/prometheus.container` → `prometheus.service` |
| Config | `/opt/prometheus/config/prometheus.yml`, installed from `shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml` on every deploy |
| Data | `/opt/prometheus/data` (TSDB) |
| Retention | `--storage.tsdb.retention.time=30d` |
| Alerting | 5 alert rules + 1 recording rule (`shared/prometheus/rules/llm-fleet.yml`), evaluated **and delivered** since 2026-09-17: the `alerting:` block ships to `alertmanager:9093` → Signal relay → signal-cli (see [[Alertmanager]]) |
## Targets
`shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml` is the source of truth; the deploy copies it into the container's `/etc/prometheus/`. In outline:
| Job | Target | Why |
|-----|--------|-----|
| `prometheus` | `localhost:9090` | itself |
| `node-dankclaw`, `node-dankserver` | `192.168.0.143:9100`, `192.168.0.235:9100` | host metrics from each machine's [[Node-Exporter]] |
| `grafana`, `loki` | `grafana:3000`, `loki:3100` | container names on the `dankclaw_default` network; both serve real `/metrics` |
| `frank-medium`, `frank-large` | `192.168.0.235:7770`, `192.168.0.143:7770` | the LLM fleet — `vllm:` and `llamacpp:` series (LAN addresses, not the guarded vhosts) |
**Three jobs read down, and they are not outages** (audited 2026-09-16):
| Job | Target | Why it never reports up |
|-----|--------|-------------------------|
| `comfyui` | `comfyui:8188` | scrapes `/`, which is HTML — "unsupported Content-Type" |
| `services` | `192.168.0.143:8081`, `:3005` | same: up/down intent, implemented as a scrape |
| `gitea` | `192.168.0.143:3000/metrics` | Gitea's exporter is off until `[metrics] ENABLED = true` |
A scrape cannot express "is this HTTP service answering?" — that is what a
probe is for, and the remedy is the **blackbox exporter** in probe mode
(`/probe?target=…&module=http_2xx`), which also gives the guarded vhosts a real
uptime signal since Prometheus cannot solve an Anubis challenge itself. Until it
is deployed, these three stay red for a structural reason: deleting them would
hide a real service, and fixing them by publishing databases or enabling metrics
would trade a wrong signal for a real exposure. Targets are `host:port`, never
URLs.
## Volumes
| Container path | Host path |
|----------------|-----------|
| `/etc/prometheus` | `/opt/prometheus/config` |
| `/prometheus` | `/opt/prometheus/data` |
## Healthcheck
Prometheus responds on `/-/healthy` with 200; the unit's health command is the same `wget --spider` the deploy waits on.
## Gotchas
- **Keep the node-exporter address in step with the unit.** `node-dankclaw` scrapes `192.168.0.143:9100`, which is exactly the LAN address `node-exporter.container` binds (`Network=host`, `--web.listen-address` twice). Change one without the other and host metrics stop with no error anywhere. The `tests/observability_quadlet.bats` seam pins the pairing.
- The container name `prometheus` is what Caddy's post-auth handler proxies to, and `grafana`/`loki` are addressed by name here. Renaming a container breaks both silently.
- Keep scrapes modest for a small homelab; too many targets bloat the TSDB.
- Set a retention policy or the data volume grows without bound (30 days here).
- The lifecycle endpoint is enabled (`--web.enable-lifecycle`), which is why this API must never be published beyond loopback.
