# System Health Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
This guide explains how to monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain the health of your Quizzical Beats installation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Health Dashboard
|
||||
|
||||
Quizzical Beats provides a built-in health dashboard that gives you a comprehensive overview of your system:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log in as an administrator
|
||||
2. Navigate to Admin > System > Health Dashboard
|
||||
3. The dashboard displays:
|
||||
- Database information (status, song count, round count, user count)
|
||||
- Storage information (directory status, file counts, sizes)
|
||||
- External service status
|
||||
- Memory usage
|
||||
- Version information
|
||||
|
||||
### Health Status Cards
|
||||
|
||||
The top of the health dashboard features status cards that provide a quick overview of your system's health:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Database**: Connection status and database health
|
||||
- **Storage**: File storage status and access permissions
|
||||
- **API Services**: Status of external API connections
|
||||
- **Memory**: System memory availability and usage
|
||||
|
||||
Each card is color-coded to indicate status:
|
||||
- Green: Good/healthy
|
||||
- Yellow: Warning/potential issues
|
||||
- Red: Error/critical issues
|
||||
|
||||
## Database Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
### Database Statistics
|
||||
|
||||
The database section of the health dashboard shows:
|
||||
|
||||
- Total number of songs in the database
|
||||
- Total number of rounds
|
||||
- Total number of users
|
||||
- Database file size
|
||||
- Last backup timestamp
|
||||
|
||||
This information helps you track database growth and ensure you're performing regular backups.
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
The storage section provides information about key directories:
|
||||
|
||||
- Directory name
|
||||
- Number of files in each directory
|
||||
- Total size of files
|
||||
- Write permission status
|
||||
|
||||
This helps you identify potential storage issues such as:
|
||||
- Lack of write permissions
|
||||
- Unexpected growth in file count or size
|
||||
- Directories approaching storage limits
|
||||
|
||||
## External Service Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
The External Services section displays the status of integrated third-party services:
|
||||
|
||||
- Service name
|
||||
- Connection status (Available, Warning, Unavailable)
|
||||
- Status details or error messages
|
||||
|
||||
Services monitored may include:
|
||||
- Spotify API
|
||||
- Dropbox API
|
||||
- OpenAI API
|
||||
- Email service
|
||||
- Other integrated services based on your configuration
|
||||
|
||||
## Version Information
|
||||
|
||||
The Version Information section shows:
|
||||
|
||||
- Application version
|
||||
- Release name
|
||||
- Release date
|
||||
- Python version
|
||||
- Operating system platform
|
||||
- Flask version
|
||||
|
||||
This information is essential when troubleshooting issues or planning updates.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Database Connection Issues
|
||||
|
||||
If the database status shows errors:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check database credentials in your `.env` file
|
||||
2. Verify that the database file exists at the configured location
|
||||
3. Check file permissions on the database file
|
||||
4. Ensure there's enough disk space for database growth
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage Issues
|
||||
|
||||
If the Storage status shows problems:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check directory permissions for the affected directories
|
||||
2. Verify that the application has write access to these directories
|
||||
3. Ensure sufficient disk space is available
|
||||
4. Check for file corruption or missing critical files
|
||||
|
||||
### External Service Connectivity
|
||||
|
||||
If service connections are failing:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Verify API keys and credentials in your `.env` file
|
||||
2. Check that redirect URIs are correctly configured
|
||||
3. Test external connectivity to the service endpoints
|
||||
4. Verify SSL certificates are valid for secure connections
|
||||
5. Check for API rate limiting or service outages
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI Health Checks
|
||||
|
||||
For command-line health checks, you can use:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python run.py health check
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This command performs basic health checks and outputs the results to the console, which is useful for automated monitoring scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices for System Health
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Regular Monitoring**: Check the health dashboard at least weekly
|
||||
2. **Automated Alerts**: Set up external monitoring for critical services
|
||||
3. **Preventive Maintenance**: Address warning signs before they become critical
|
||||
4. **Regular Backups**: Configure automated backups and verify them regularly
|
||||
5. **Update Management**: Keep the application and dependencies up to date
|
||||
6. **Resource Planning**: Monitor growth trends to plan for future resource needs
