version 5.2.1

fix: threshold and logging improvements
- threshold: fix crash when display is None (_format_display now falls back to default format string instead of calling None.format()) - threshold: shorten notification messages by stripping plugin-name prefix from metric_path (cpu_percent instead of cpu_monitor.cpu_percent) - main: demote aiohttp.access log records from INFO to DEBUG - udp: replace debug print with proper logger.info for new host sign-on Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+- `zfs_monitor`: Monitors ZFS pool health, capacity, fragmentation, dedup ratio, and cumulative I/O via `zpool(8)`

 ### Nagios Integration

 The `nagios_runner` plugin provides seamless integration with the vast Nagios plugin ecosystem. You can run any Nagios-compatible plugin and have the results automatically parsed and stored:

- Executes plugins via subprocess with timeout protection
+- Executes plugins asynchronously (non-blocking) with timeout protection
+- Captures both stdout and stderr; if stdout is empty, stderr is used as the status message
+- Handles signal-killed processes (negative exit code → UNKNOWN status)
+- Validates absolute command paths at startup and warns on missing or non-executable files
 - Parses exit codes (OK/WARNING/CRITICAL/UNKNOWN)
 - Extracts performance data with thresholds
- Reports aggregated status across all configured checks
+- Reports per-check status, exit code, and output; no aggregate rollup field

 See [docs/NAGIOS_INTEGRATION.md](docs/NAGIOS_INTEGRATION.md) for complete integration guide including configuration examples and custom plugin development.

+
+### Display Format Templates
+
+Each threshold entry accepts an optional `display` field — a Python format string shown in notifications and on the Alerts dashboard:
+
+```yaml
+nagios_runner:
+  status_code:
+    warning: 1
+    critical: 2
+    operator: ">="
+    display: "{check_name}: exit {value} (expected < {threshold_value})"
+```
+
+Available variables:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `{value}` | Current metric value |
+| `{threshold_value}` | Threshold that was crossed |
+| `{op_symbol}` | Comparison operator (`>`, `<`, `>=`, …); `"nagios"` for the nagios operator |
+| `{check_name}` | Prefix stripped by generic matching (see below) |
+| `{metric_name}` | Full field name within the plugin data |
+| `{output}` | For `nagios_runner` generic matches: the matched check's status text (alias for `{check_name}_output`) |
+| `{status}` | For `nagios_runner` generic matches: the matched check's status name — OK/WARNING/CRITICAL/UNKNOWN (alias for `{check_name}_status`) |
+| any plugin field | Any other field present in the plugin's data |
+
+### Generic Threshold Matching
+
+When a metric name has no exact threshold entry, the server progressively strips leading underscore-separated segments and re-tries the lookup. This lets a single generic entry cover an entire family of metrics.
+
+The classic use case is `nagios_runner`, which names each metric after the command that produced it:
+
+```
+nagios_runner.check_disk_root_status_code    → no exact match
+nagios_runner.disk_root_status_code          → no match
+nagios_runner.root_status_code               → no match
+nagios_runner.status_code                    → matched ✓
+```
+
+Configure the generic threshold once using the `nagios` operator, which maps exit codes directly to alert severity without requiring numeric warning/critical values:
+
+```yaml
+nagios_runner:
+  status_code:
+    operator: "nagios"   # 0=OK  1=WARNING  2=CRITICAL  3=UNKNOWN
+    display: "{check_name}: {output}"
+```
+
+The stripped prefix (`check_disk_root` in the example above) is available as `{check_name}` in the display template, so you can identify which check triggered the alert without writing a separate threshold entry per command.
+
+Exact matches always take priority. A generic entry only applies when no specific one is defined.
+
+### Per-Host Threshold Profiles
+
+Named threshold configurations let different hosts use different limits. A host's `threshold_config` can be a single name or a **list** — lists are applied left-to-right so profiles compose without duplication:
+
+```yaml
+threshold_configs:
+  default:
+    thresholds:
+      cpu_monitor:
+        cpu_percent: {warning: 80, critical: 90}
+      memory_monitor:
+        memory_percent: {warning: 85, critical: 95}
+
+  tight_cpu:           # override CPU limits only
+    thresholds:
+      cpu_monitor:
+        cpu_percent: {warning: 60, critical: 75}
+
+  db_disk:             # add a database partition check
+    thresholds:
+      disk_monitor:
+        partitions:
+          /var/lib/postgresql:
+            percent: {warning: 75, critical: 88}

+
+  db-01:
+    threshold_config: [tight_cpu, db_disk]   # layered: CPU override + extra disk check
+```
+
+Each named config's overrides are applied in order on top of the defaults. Metrics not mentioned in a profile are inherited unchanged.

+Support for multiple named threshold configurations with per-host mapping and composable layering.

 ### Overview

 The multi-threshold feature allows you to:
- Define multiple sets of threshold configurations
- Map different hosts to different threshold sets
+- Define multiple named threshold configurations
+- Assign one or more configurations to each host
+- Compose configurations by layering — each named config's overrides are applied in order on top of the defaults
 - Use different sensitivity levels for different environments
- Maintain a default configuration for unmapped hosts

+### Composable Configurations (list form)
+
+`threshold_config` can be a list. Configs are applied **left to right**: the defaults are the base, then each named config's overrides are layered on top. Later entries in the list win on any metric they define.
+
+```yaml
+threshold_configs:
+  default:

+        cpu_percent: {warning: 80, critical: 90}

+  high_cpu_load:
+    thresholds:
+      cpu_monitor:
+        cpu_percent: {warning: 60, critical: 75}
+
+  # Tighter disk limits for data-heavy servers
+  busy_disk:
+    thresholds:
+      disk_monitor:
+        partitions:
+          /:
+            percent: {warning: 70, critical: 85}
+
+hosts:
+  # Gets default thresholds only
+  web-01:
+    threshold_config: default
+
+  # Gets tighter CPU limits, default memory and disk
+  build-server:

+
+  # Layers both: tighter CPU AND tighter disk, default memory
+  db-01:
+    threshold_config: [high_cpu_load, busy_disk]
+
+  # Three layers: busy_disk overrides high_cpu_load if they conflict
+  storage-01:
+    threshold_config: [default, high_cpu_load, busy_disk]
+```
+
+**How layering works:**
+
+Starting from the `default` thresholds:
+
+| Layer | Applied config | Effect |
+|-------|---------------|--------|
+| Base  | `default` | all default thresholds |
+| +1    | `high_cpu_load` | cpu_percent overridden to 60/75 |
+| +2    | `busy_disk` | disk percent overridden to 70/85; cpu_percent stays at 60/75 |
+
+Each named config only overrides the metrics it explicitly defines. Metrics not mentioned in a config inherit from the layers beneath.

 ### Configuration Priority

-1. **Host-specific mapping**: If host is in `host_threshold_mapping`, use that config
-2. **Default config**: Use `default_threshold_config` 
-3. **First alphabetically**: If default not found, use first config alphabetically
-4. **Legacy fallback**: If `threshold_configs` not present, use `thresholds`
+1. **Host `threshold_config` (list)**: Layer each named config's overrides left-to-right on top of the defaults
+2. **Host `threshold_config` (string)**: Use that single named config directly
+3. **`host_threshold_mapping`** (legacy): Same as above, string only
+4. **`default_threshold_config`**: Used for hosts with no mapping
+5. **First alphabetically**: If the default config is not found, use the first config alphabetically
+6. **Legacy `thresholds` section**: Used when `threshold_configs` is absent entirely

-### Example: Complete Multi-Threshold Setup
+### Backward Compatibility

-See `hbd/config_multi_threshold_example.yaml` for a complete example with:

andreas	a534c06b26	feat: nagios operator for direct exit-code severity mapping Add ComparisonOperator.NAGIOS ("nagios") that maps Nagios exit codes directly to alert levels (0=OK 1=WARNING 2=CRITICAL 3=UNKNOWN) without requiring numeric warning/critical thresholds. Hysteresis is bypassed for discrete codes. Display template defaults to "{check_name}: {output}". _format_display() handles None threshold_value gracefully. Add nagios_runner.status_code as a built-in default threshold config so nagios checks alert out of the box. Also: fix alerts.html scrolling (override html,body), make hostname a link to /plugins#<hostname>, remove overall_status/overall_status_code/plugin_count from nagios_runner and hbc_mini, replace with computed worst-status in plugins.html via nagiosWorstStatus() helper.

andreas	b1985d0eb2	feat: generic threshold matching for nagios_runner with {check_name} display support _find_threshold() now returns the stripped prefix ("check_name") alongside the ThresholdConfig, enabling a single generic entry (e.g. nagios_runner.status_code) to cover all per-command metrics (check_disk_root_status_code, check_load_status_code, …). The prefix is threaded through to _format_display() as {check_name}, with {metric_name} also available in display templates. purge_stale_alerts() updated to use generic matching so it does not incorrectly drop alerts on generic-matched metrics. README updated with Display Format Templates and Generic Threshold Matching sections. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-05-05 10:48:17 -04:00
andreas	de778f680f	fix: reduce default hysteresis 10%→2%; show recovery threshold in alerts UI The 10% default hysteresis created an unreasonably wide recovery band: a 95% threshold would only clear once the value dropped below 85.5%, causing alerts to linger long after the metric was well below the trigger level. Change default hysteresis to 2% across all threshold parsers (plugin metrics, partitions, RTT). For a 95% threshold, recovery is now at 93.1% instead of 85.5%. Add AlertState.hysteresis field (set on every check, cleared on OK) and expose recovery_threshold in to_dict() so the Alerts dashboard can display "recovers < 93.1" alongside the trigger threshold, making the hysteresis band visible to the user.

Andreas Wrede	917d6a401b	feat: composable threshold_config list for per-host threshold layering threshold_config in the hosts section now accepts a list of named configs applied left-to-right on top of the defaults, so focused override profiles can be mixed without duplication. Single-string and legacy host_threshold_mapping forms are unchanged. - Add threshold_raw_configs to store per-config overrides separately - Normalise threshold_config to list on parse (string or list) - get_thresholds_for_host folds the list over the default base - Update README and docs/THRESHOLD_ALERTING.md with examples Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-05-02 10:35:23 -04:00
