# Security Dashboard Live Log Viewer Bug Fix Plan
|
||||
# Security Dashboard Live Logs - Complete Trace Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** December 16, 2025
|
||||
**Issue:** Live Log Viewer shows "Disconnected" error with rapid connect/disconnect flashing
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ ALL ISSUES FIXED & VERIFIED
|
||||
**Severity:** Was Critical (WebSocket reconnection loop) → Now Resolved
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
## 0. FULL TRACE ANALYSIS
|
||||
|
||||
**ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED:** The WebSocket authentication token retrieval uses the wrong localStorage key.
|
||||
### File-by-File Data Flow
|
||||
|
||||
The auth token is stored under `charon_auth_token` but the WebSocket code reads from `token` (which doesn't exist), causing **every WebSocket connection to be sent without authentication**, resulting in immediate 401 rejection.
|
||||
| Step | File | Lines | Purpose | Status |
|
||||
|------|------|-------|---------|--------|
|
||||
| 1 | `frontend/src/pages/Security.tsx` | 36, 421 | Renders LiveLogViewer with memoized filters | ✅ Fixed |
|
||||
| 2 | `frontend/src/components/LiveLogViewer.tsx` | 138-143, 183-268 | Manages WebSocket lifecycle in useEffect | ✅ Fixed |
|
||||
| 3 | `frontend/src/api/logs.ts` | 177-237 | `connectSecurityLogs()` - builds WS URL with auth | ✅ Working |
|
||||
| 4 | `backend/internal/api/routes/routes.go` | 373-394 | Registers `/cerberus/logs/ws` in protected group | ✅ Working |
|
||||
| 5 | `backend/internal/api/middleware/auth.go` | 12-39 | Validates JWT from header/cookie/query param | ✅ Working |
|
||||
| 6 | `backend/internal/api/handlers/cerberus_logs_ws.go` | 27-120 | WebSocket handler with filter parsing | ✅ Working |
|
||||
| 7 | `backend/internal/services/log_watcher.go` | 44-237 | Tails Caddy access log, broadcasts to subscribers | ✅ Working |
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
Frontend Backend
|
||||
──────── ───────
|
||||
localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token')
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
Query param: ?token=<jwt> ────────► AuthMiddleware:
|
||||
1. Check Authorization header
|
||||
2. Check auth_token cookie
|
||||
3. Check token query param ◄── MATCHES
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
ValidateToken(jwt) → OK
|
||||
│
|
||||
▼
|
||||
Upgrade to WebSocket
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Logic Gap Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**ANSWER: NO - There is NO logic gap between Frontend and Backend.**
|
||||
|
||||
| Question | Answer |
|
||||
|----------|--------|
|
||||
| Frontend auth method | Query param `?token=<jwt>` from `localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token')` |
|
||||
| Backend auth method | Accepts: Header → Cookie → Query param `token` ✅ |
|
||||
| Filter params | Both use `source`, `level`, `ip`, `host`, `blocked_only` ✅ |
|
||||
| Data format | `SecurityLogEntry` struct matches frontend TypeScript type ✅ |
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Root Cause Analysis
|
||||
## 1. VERIFICATION STATUS
|
||||
|
||||
### Token Storage Key Mismatch
|
||||
### ✅ localStorage Key IS Correct
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | localStorage Key Used | Correct? |
|
||||
|-----------|----------------------|----------|
|
||||
| AuthContext.tsx (login) | `charon_auth_token` | ✅ Source of truth |
|
||||
| AuthContext.tsx (logout) | `charon_auth_token` | ✅ |
|
||||
| client.ts (axios) | Gets token from AuthContext | ✅ |
|
||||
| **logs.ts (WebSocket)** | **`token`** | ❌ **WRONG** |
|
||||
Both WebSocket functions in `frontend/src/api/logs.ts` correctly use `charon_auth_token`:
|
||||
|
||||
### Code Evidence
|
||||
- **Line 119-122** (`connectLiveLogs`): `localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token')`
|
||||
- **Line 178-181** (`connectSecurityLogs`): `localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token')`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. ALL ISSUES FOUND (NOW FIXED)
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #1: CRITICAL - Object Reference Instability in Props (ROOT CAUSE) ✅ FIXED
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** `Security.tsx` passed `securityFilters={{}}` inline, creating a new object on every render. This triggered useEffect cleanup/reconnection on every parent re-render.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix Applied:**
|
||||
|
||||
**AuthContext.tsx (correct storage):**
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Line 31 - stores token with correct key
|
||||
localStorage.setItem('charon_auth_token', token);
|
||||
// frontend/src/pages/Security.tsx line 36
|
||||
const emptySecurityFilters = useMemo(() => ({}), [])
|
||||
|
||||
// frontend/src/pages/Security.tsx line 421
|
||||
<LiveLogViewer mode="security" securityFilters={emptySecurityFilters} className="w-full" />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**logs.ts (incorrect retrieval):**
|
||||
### Issue #2: Default Props Had Same Problem ✅ FIXED
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Default empty objects `filters = {}` in function params created new objects on each call.
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix Applied:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Line 132 & 200 - reads wrong key
|
||||
const token = localStorage.getItem('token'); // Returns null!
|
||||
// frontend/src/components/LiveLogViewer.tsx lines 138-143
|
||||
const EMPTY_LIVE_FILTER: LiveLogFilter = {};
|
||||
const EMPTY_SECURITY_FILTER: SecurityLogFilter = {};
|
||||
|
||||
export function LiveLogViewer({
|
||||
filters = EMPTY_LIVE_FILTER,
|
||||
securityFilters = EMPTY_SECURITY_FILTER,
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Result
|
||||
### Issue #3: `showBlockedOnly` Toggle (INTENTIONAL)
|
||||
|
||||
1. User logs in → token stored as `charon_auth_token`
|
||||
2. Security Dashboard opens → WebSocket tries `localStorage.getItem('token')` → returns `null`
|
||||
3. WebSocket URL: `/api/v1/cerberus/logs/ws` (no token query param)
|
||||
4. Backend auth middleware rejects with 401 Unauthorized
|
||||
5. Frontend receives `onError` event → shows "Disconnected" message
|
||||
6. User sees rapid flashing if any auto-reconnect logic exists
|
||||
The `showBlockedOnly` state in useEffect dependencies causes reconnection when toggled. This is **intentional** for server-side filtering - not a bug.
|
||||

|
||||
## 2. Files to Modify
|
||||
## 3. ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Change Type | Description |
|
||||
|------|-------------|-------------|
|
||||
| `frontend/src/api/logs.ts` | **BUG FIX** | Change localStorage key from `token` to `charon_auth_token` |
|
||||
### The Reconnection Loop (Before Fix)
|
||||
|
||||
**That's it!** This is a one-line fix in two locations within the same file.
|
||||
1. User navigates to Security Dashboard
|
||||
2. `Security.tsx` renders with `<LiveLogViewer securityFilters={{}} />`
|
||||
3. `LiveLogViewer` mounts → useEffect runs → WebSocket connects
|
||||
4. React Query refetches security status
|
||||
5. `Security.tsx` re-renders → **new `{}` object created**
|
||||
6. `LiveLogViewer` re-renders → useEffect sees "changed" `securityFilters`
|
||||
7. useEffect cleanup runs → **WebSocket closes**
|
||||
8. useEffect body runs → **WebSocket opens**
|
||||
9. Repeat steps 4-8 every ~100ms
|
||||

|
||||
### Evidence from Docker Logs (Before Fix)
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Specific Code Changes
|
||||
|
||||
### File: `frontend/src/api/logs.ts`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Change #1: `connectLiveLogs` function (Line 132)
|
||||
|
||||
**Before:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Get auth token from localStorage
|
||||
const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Get auth token from localStorage (must match AuthContext key)
|
||||
const token = localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Change #2: `connectSecurityLogs` function (Line 200)
|
||||
|
||||
**Before:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Get auth token from localStorage
|
||||
const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Get auth token from localStorage (must match AuthContext key)
|
||||
const token = localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token');
|
||||
```text
|
||||
{"level":"info","msg":"Cerberus logs WebSocket connected","subscriber_id":"xxx"}
|
||||
{"level":"info","msg":"Cerberus logs WebSocket client disconnected","subscriber_id":"xxx"}
|
||||
{"level":"info","msg":"Cerberus logs WebSocket connected","subscriber_id":"yyy"}
|
||||
{"level":"info","msg":"Cerberus logs WebSocket client disconnected","subscriber_id":"yyy"}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Phase 1: Backend Fix
|
||||
## 4. COMPONENT DEEP DIVE
|
||||
|
||||
**No backend changes required.**
|
||||
### Frontend: Security.tsx
|
||||
|
||||
The backend auth middleware already correctly handles token extraction from query parameters:
|
||||
- Renders the Security Dashboard with 4 security layer cards (CrowdSec, ACL, Coraza, Rate Limiting)
|
||||
- Contains multiple `useQuery`/`useMutation` hooks that trigger re-renders
|
||||
- **Line 36:** Creates stable filter reference with `useMemo`
|
||||
- **Line 421:** Passes stable reference to `LiveLogViewer`
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// backend/internal/api/middleware/auth.go - Lines 21-24
|
||||
// Try query param (token passthrough)
|
||||
if token := c.Query("token"); token != "" {
|
||||
authHeader = "Bearer " + token
|
||||
### Frontend: LiveLogViewer.tsx
|
||||
|
||||
- Dual-mode log viewer (application logs vs security logs)
|
||||
- **Lines 138-139:** Stable default filter objects defined outside component
|
||||
- **Lines 183-268:** useEffect that manages WebSocket lifecycle
|
||||
- **Line 268:** Dependencies: `[currentMode, filters, securityFilters, maxLogs, showBlockedOnly]`
|
||||
- Uses `isPausedRef` to avoid reconnection when pausing
|
||||
|
||||
### Frontend: logs.ts (API Client)
|
||||
|
||||
- **`connectSecurityLogs()`** (lines 177-237):
|
||||
- Builds URLSearchParams from filter object
|
||||
- Gets auth token from `localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token')`
|
||||
- Appends token as query param
|
||||
- Constructs URL: `wss://host/api/v1/cerberus/logs/ws?...&token=<jwt>`
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend: routes.go
|
||||
|
||||
- **Line 380-389:** Creates LogWatcher service pointing to `/var/log/caddy/access.log`
|
||||
- **Line 393:** Creates `CerberusLogsHandler`
|
||||
- **Line 394:** Registers route in protected group (auth required)
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend: auth.go (Middleware)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Lines 14-28:** Auth flow: Header → Cookie → Query param
|
||||
- **Line 25-28:** Query param fallback: `if token := c.Query("token"); token != ""`
|
||||
- WebSocket connections use query param auth (browsers can't set headers on WS)
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend: cerberus_logs_ws.go (Handler)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Lines 42-48:** Upgrades HTTP to WebSocket
|
||||
- **Lines 53-59:** Parses filter query params
|
||||
- **Lines 61-62:** Subscribes to LogWatcher
|
||||
- **Lines 80-109:** Main loop broadcasting filtered entries
|
||||
|
||||
### Backend: log_watcher.go (Service)
|
||||
|
||||
- Singleton service tailing Caddy access log
|
||||
- Parses JSON log lines into `SecurityLogEntry`
|
||||
- Broadcasts to all WebSocket subscribers
|
||||
- Detects security events (WAF, CrowdSec, ACL, rate limit)
|
||||

## 5. SUMMARY TABLE
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Status | Notes |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|-------|
|
||||
| localStorage key | ✅ Fixed | Now uses `charon_auth_token` |
|
||||
| Auth middleware | ✅ Working | Accepts query param `token` |
|
||||
| WebSocket endpoint | ✅ Working | Protected route, upgrades correctly |
|
||||
| LogWatcher service | ✅ Working | Tails access.log successfully |
|
||||
| **Frontend memoization** | ✅ Fixed | `useMemo` in Security.tsx |
|
||||
| **Stable default props** | ✅ Fixed | Constants in LiveLogViewer.tsx |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. VERIFICATION STEPS
|
||||
|
||||
After any changes, verify with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Rebuild and restart
|
||||
docker build -t charon:local . && docker compose -f docker-compose.override.yml up -d
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Check for stable connection (should see ONE connect, no rapid cycling)
|
||||
docker logs charon 2>&1 | grep -i "cerberus.*websocket" | tail -10
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Browser DevTools → Console
|
||||
# Should see: "Cerberus logs WebSocket connection established"
|
||||
# Should NOT see repeated connection attempts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. CONCLUSION
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause:** React reference instability (`{}` creates new object on every render)
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution Applied:** Memoize filter objects to maintain stable references
|
||||
|
||||
**Logic Gap Between Frontend/Backend:** **NO** - Both are correctly aligned
|
||||
|
||||
**Current Status:** ✅ All fixes applied and working
|

# Health Check 401 Auth Failures - Investigation Report
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** December 16, 2025
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ ANALYZED - NOT A BUG
|
||||
**Severity:** Informational (Log Noise)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. INVESTIGATION SUMMARY
|
||||
|
||||
### What the User Observed
|
||||
|
||||
The user reported recurring 401 auth failures in Docker logs:
|
||||
```
|
||||
01:03:10 AUTH 172.20.0.1 GET / → 401 [401] 133.6ms
|
||||
{ "auth_failure": true }
|
||||
01:04:10 AUTH 172.20.0.1 GET / → 401 [401] 112.9ms
|
||||
{ "auth_failure": true }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Initial Hypothesis vs Reality
|
||||
|
||||
| Hypothesis | Reality |
|
||||
|------------|---------|
|
||||
| Docker health check hitting `/` | ❌ Docker health check hits `/api/v1/health` and works correctly (200) |
|
||||
| Charon backend auth issue | ❌ Charon backend auth is working fine |
|
||||
| Missing health endpoint | ❌ `/api/v1/health` exists and is public |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFIED
|
||||
|
||||
### The 401s are FROM Plex, NOT Charon
|
||||
|
||||
**Evidence from logs:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"host": "plex.hatfieldhosted.com",
|
||||
"uri": "/",
|
||||
"status": 401,
|
||||
"resp_headers": {
|
||||
"X-Plex-Protocol": ["1.0"],
|
||||
"X-Plex-Content-Compressed-Length": ["157"],
|
||||
"Cache-Control": ["no-cache"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The middleware checks in this order:
|
||||
1. `Authorization` header
|
||||
2. `auth_token` cookie
|
||||
3. `token` query parameter ← WebSocket uses this
|
||||
The 401 responses contain **Plex-specific headers** (`X-Plex-Protocol`, `X-Plex-Content-Compressed-Length`). This proves:
|
||||
|
||||
The backend is working correctly. The issue is purely frontend.
|
||||
1. The request goes through Caddy to **Plex backend**
|
||||
2. **Plex** returns 401 because the request has no auth token
|
||||
3. Caddy logs this as a handled request
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
### What's Making These Requests?
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Phase 2: Frontend Fix
|
||||
**Charon's Uptime Monitoring Service** (`backend/internal/services/uptime_service.go`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Steps
|
||||
The `checkMonitor()` function performs HTTP GET requests to proxied hosts:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Edit `frontend/src/api/logs.ts`:**
|
||||
- Line 132: Change `localStorage.getItem('token')` to `localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token')`
|
||||
- Line 200: Change `localStorage.getItem('token')` to `localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token')`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Optional Enhancement - Add debug logging for auth issues:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const token = localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token');
|
||||
if (!token) {
|
||||
console.warn('WebSocket: No auth token found in localStorage');
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Consider creating a shared constant for the token key:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// In a shared constants file
|
||||
export const AUTH_TOKEN_KEY = 'charon_auth_token';
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Testing Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Testing Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Clear browser data** (ensure clean state)
|
||||
2. **Login to Charon** (stores token correctly)
|
||||
3. **Navigate to Security Dashboard**
|
||||
4. **Verify Live Log Viewer shows "Connected"** (green badge)
|
||||
5. **Verify logs start streaming** (wait for traffic or trigger test request)
|
||||
6. **Check browser DevTools:**
|
||||
- Network tab: WebSocket connection should be `101 Switching Protocols`
|
||||
- Console: Should show `Cerberus logs WebSocket connection established`
|
||||
- WebSocket frames: Should show JSON log entries, not error responses
|
||||
|
||||
### Verification Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Test WebSocket endpoint with token (from container)
|
||||
TOKEN=$(cat /tmp/test_token) # or get from browser localStorage
|
||||
curl -i -N -H "Connection: Upgrade" -H "Upgrade: websocket" \
|
||||
"http://localhost:8080/api/v1/cerberus/logs/ws?token=$TOKEN"
|
||||
|
||||
# Should see: HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
|
||||
```go
|
||||
case "http", "https":
|
||||
client := http.Client{Timeout: 10 * time.Second}
|
||||
resp, err := client.Get(monitor.URL) // e.g., https://plex.hatfieldhosted.com/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Test Update
|
||||
Key behaviors:
|
||||
- Runs every 60 seconds (`interval: 60`)
|
||||
- Checks the **public URL** of each proxy host
|
||||
- Uses `Go-http-client/2.0` User-Agent (visible in logs)
|
||||
- **Correctly treats 401/403 as "service is up"** (lines 471-474 of uptime_service.go)
|
||||
|
||||
Update `frontend/src/components/__tests__/LiveLogViewer.test.tsx` if needed to mock the correct localStorage key:
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
beforeEach(() => {
|
||||
// Mock localStorage with correct key
|
||||
vi.spyOn(Storage.prototype, 'getItem').mockImplementation((key) => {
|
||||
if (key === 'charon_auth_token') return 'mock-jwt-token';
|
||||
return null;
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||

## 7. Regression Prevention
|
||||
## 4. DOCKER HEALTH CHECK STATUS
|
||||
|
||||
### Add ESLint Rule (Optional)
|
||||
### ✅ Docker Health Check is WORKING CORRECTLY
|
||||
|
||||
Consider adding a custom ESLint rule or code comment to prevent future mismatches:
|
||||
**Configuration** (from all docker-compose files):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// frontend/src/constants/auth.ts
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* IMPORTANT: This key must match across all auth-related code.
|
||||
* Used by: AuthContext.tsx, logs.ts (WebSocket)
|
||||
* @see AuthContext.tsx for login/logout logic
|
||||
*/
|
||||
export const AUTH_TOKEN_STORAGE_KEY = 'charon_auth_token';
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
healthcheck:
|
||||
test: ["CMD", "wget", "--no-verbose", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/health"]
|
||||
interval: 30s
|
||||
timeout: 10s
|
||||
retries: 3
|
||||
start_period: 40s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Update Contributing Guidelines
|
||||
**Evidence:**
|
||||
|
||||
Add to `.github/copilot-instructions.md` or `CONTRIBUTING.md`:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[GIN] 2025/12/16 - 01:04:45 | 200 | 304.212µs | ::1 | GET "/api/v1/health"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Auth Token Key:** Always use `charon_auth_token` for localStorage operations. Import from shared constants when possible.
|
||||
- Hits `/api/v1/health` (not `/`)
|
||||
- Returns `200` (not `401`)
|
||||
- Source IP is `::1` (localhost)
|
||||
- Interval is 30s (matches config)
|
||||
|
||||
### Health Endpoint Details
|
||||
|
||||
**Route Registration** ([routes.go#L86](backend/internal/api/routes/routes.go#L86)):
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
router.GET("/api/v1/health", handlers.HealthHandler)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is registered **before** any auth middleware, making it a public endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
**Handler Response** ([health_handler.go#L29-L37](backend/internal/api/handlers/health_handler.go#L29-L37)):
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func HealthHandler(c *gin.Context) {
|
||||
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
|
||||
"status": "ok",
|
||||
"service": version.Name,
|
||||
"version": version.Version,
|
||||
"git_commit": version.GitCommit,
|
||||
"build_time": version.BuildTime,
|
||||
"internal_ip": getLocalIP(),
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||

## 8. Summary
|
||||
## 5. WHY THIS IS NOT A BUG
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Details |
|
||||
|--------|---------|
|
||||
| **Bug** | WebSocket reads wrong localStorage key |
|
||||
| **Impact** | Security Dashboard Live Logs never connects |
|
||||
| **Fix** | Change `token` → `charon_auth_token` in 2 locations |
|
||||
| **Risk** | Low - isolated change, no side effects |
|
||||
| **Effort** | 5 minutes |
|
||||
| **Testing** | Manual verification + existing unit tests |
|
||||
### Uptime Service Design is Correct
|
||||
|
||||
From [uptime_service.go#L471-L474](backend/internal/services/uptime_service.go#L471-L474):
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Accept 2xx, 3xx, and 401/403 (Unauthorized/Forbidden often means the service is up but protected)
|
||||
if (resp.StatusCode >= 200 && resp.StatusCode < 400) || resp.StatusCode == 401 || resp.StatusCode == 403 {
|
||||
success = true
|
||||
msg = fmt.Sprintf("HTTP %d", resp.StatusCode)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:** A 401 response proves:
|
||||
- The service is running
|
||||
- The network path is functional
|
||||
- The application is responding
|
||||
|
||||
This is industry-standard practice for uptime monitoring of auth-protected services.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Implementation Command
|
||||
## 6. RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Single sed command to fix both occurrences
|
||||
sed -i "s/localStorage.getItem('token')/localStorage.getItem('charon_auth_token')/g" \
|
||||
frontend/src/api/logs.ts
|
||||
### Option A: Do Nothing (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
The current behavior is correct:
|
||||
- Docker health checks work ✅
|
||||
- Uptime monitoring works ✅
|
||||
- Plex is correctly marked as "up" despite 401 ✅
|
||||
|
||||
The 401s in Caddy access logs are informational noise, not errors.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option B: Reduce Log Verbosity (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
If the log noise is undesirable, options include:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Configure Caddy to not log uptime checks:**
|
||||
Add a log filter for `Go-http-client` User-Agent
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Use backend health endpoints:**
|
||||
Some services like Plex have health endpoints (`/identity`, `/status`) that don't require auth
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Add per-monitor health path option:**
|
||||
Extend `UptimeMonitor` model to allow custom health check paths
|
||||
|
||||
### Option C: Already Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
The Uptime Service already logs status changes only, not every check:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
if statusChanged {
|
||||
logger.Log().WithFields(map[string]interface{}{
|
||||
"host_name": host.Name,
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}).Info("Host status changed")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or apply the fix manually in VS Code.

## 7. SUMMARY TABLE
|
||||
|
||||
| Question | Answer |
|
||||
|----------|--------|
|
||||
| What is making the requests? | Charon's Uptime Service (`Go-http-client/2.0`) |
|
||||
| Should `/` be accessible without auth? | N/A - this is hitting proxied backends, not Charon |
|
||||
| Is there a dedicated health endpoint? | Yes: `/api/v1/health` (public, returns 200) |
|
||||
| Is Docker health check working? | ✅ Yes, every 30s, returns 200 |
|
||||
| Are the 401s a bug? | ❌ No, they're expected from auth-protected backends |
|
||||
| What's the fix? | None needed - working as designed |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. CONCLUSION
|
||||
|
||||
**The 401s are NOT from Docker health checks or Charon auth failures.**
|
||||
|
||||
They are normal responses from **auth-protected backend services** (like Plex) being monitored by Charon's uptime service. The uptime service correctly interprets 401/403 as "service is up but requires authentication."
|
||||
|
||||
**No fix required.** The system is working as designed.
