Swarm Reinforced: MatrixSwarm Unleashes Hardened Watchdogs, New Relays, and Smarter Oracle
The MatrixSwarm has leveled up. Hardened watchdogs now self-heal Apache and MySQL, relays blast alerts to Discord and Telegram, the Oracle taps OpenAI securely through Vault, and cockpit visuals flag risky agents with subtle markers. With swarm-wide metrics on the horizon, this update marks a major step in evolving the swarm into a resilient, autonomous organism. Hail the Swarm!
Stability First: Watchdogs Hardened
The Apache and MySQL watchdogs have been reforged. No longer content to just detect failure, they now: +Restart services automatically using systemctl on Rocky and other distros. +Send real-time alerts when services go down and again when they recover. +Survive slow restarts with timeouts, retries, and post-restart checks. +Report directly into the forensic feed for historical analysis. As a result, Apache and MySQL can crash, choke, or stall — and the swarm will bring them back online without human intervention.
New Relays: Discord, Telegram, and OpenAI
MatrixSwarm now speaks on more channels: +Telegram Relay joins Discord as an alert endpoint, delivering watchdog warnings and system notices straight into your chat. +OpenAI Relay connects the Oracle into the same secure connection system. API keys are injected from the Vault via Connection Manager, no more .env scatter. Alerts are now multi-channel. The swarm can talk to Discord, Telegram, or any future relay with a single role assignment.
Oracle Gets Smarter
The Oracle agent has been upgraded with: +Clean configuration injection (model + API key). +Context-aware prompts with history chaining. +Error resilience: even failures return structured error packets, no more silent timeouts. This means the swarm can ask the Oracle questions — and always get an answer back, even if it’s a failure reason.
Cockpit Reinforcements
+No more panel crashes when toggling Threads/Config. +Deferred updates prevent mushroom-cloud segfaults under heavy load. +Flip-trip detection is now visual: agents exceeding thresholds show a subtle 🔃 or ⚠️ marker in the tree with tooltips explaining the risk. +Rug-pull option added — administrators can nuke a pod’s 'run' file with a single arg for surgical strikes.
Preparing for Swarm Metrics
The swarm is no longer just a set of nodes — it’s being measured as a unit: +Metric agent collects CPU/RAM/Disk/Uptime. +Load Range agent builds 24h load profiles. +Both are being adapted to emit swarm-wide packets, giving cockpit a unified dashboard of node health and collective swarm load. A dedicated metrics collector role is in the works, to fuse node-level data into swarm-wide health scores.
Hail the Swarm!
With hardened watchdogs, multi-channel relays, smarter Oracle brains, cockpit visual cues, and metrics for both nodes and the collective, MatrixSwarm is transforming into a truly autonomous, resilient organism. Failures self-heal. Alerts go everywhere. The swarm monitors itself and learns from its data. This is not just infrastructure — it’s the MatrixSwarm rising.
