# TASK.md — v0.5.1: Monitoring Page Bugfixes
> Version bump: **v0.5.1**
> Scope: 4 bugs in the monitoring page

## Bug 1: Hostname shows container ID instead of host hostname
### Problem
"Gépnév" displays `75f2f2a113f3` — the Docker container ID. `os.Hostname()` inside a container returns the container's hostname, not the host's.
### Root cause
`sysinfo.go` line: `info.Hostname, _ = os.Hostname()`
Inside a Docker container, `os.Hostname()` returns the container ID unless `hostname:` is set in docker-compose.yml.
### Fix — Two options (use both for robustness)
**Option A: Mount host's /etc/hostname** (preferred — works for all cases):
In `controller/docker-compose.yml`, add:
```yaml
volumes:
- /etc/hostname:/host/etc/hostname:ro
```
In `sysinfo.go`, read host hostname first:
```go
// Hostname — try host mount first, fall back to os.Hostname()
if data, err := os.ReadFile("/host/etc/hostname"); err == nil {
info.Hostname = strings.TrimSpace(string(data))
} else {
info.Hostname, _ = os.Hostname()
}
```
**Option B: Set hostname in docker-compose.yml** (simpler but requires per-customer config):
```yaml
hostname: ${HOSTNAME:-felhom}
```
But this requires the env var to be set. Option A is better — it reads the actual host hostname dynamically.
**Use Option A.** It's consistent with the `/etc/os-release` mount pattern already in place.

## Bug 2: Tooltip timestamps show "1970. 01. 01. 01:00"
### Problem
Hovering over chart data points shows `1970. 01. 01. 01:00` instead of the actual timestamp.
### Root cause
In the tooltip callback:
```javascript
callbacks: {
title: function(items) {
if (!items.length) return '';
return formatTimestamp(items[0].parsed.x || items[0].label);
}
}
```
The chart uses a **category** x-axis (default), not a time axis. `items[0].parsed.x` returns the **category index** (0, 1, 2, 3...), not the timestamp. When the index is > 0, `parsed.x || label` evaluates to the index (truthy). Then `formatTimestamp(5)` does `new Date(5 * 1000)` → `1970-01-01 01:00:00.005`.
When the index is 0, `0 || label` falls through to `label`, which works correctly. That's why the first data point shows the right time.
### Fix
Always use `items[0].label` instead of `parsed.x`:
```javascript
callbacks: {
title: function(items) {
if (!items.length) return '';
return formatTimestamp(items[0].label);
}
}
```
`items[0].label` is the raw label value from the labels array, which IS the timestamp in milliseconds.

## Bug 3: Range selector appears non-functional / 24h shows empty
### Problem
Default range is `24h` but the system has only ~20 minutes of data. On page load, charts appear empty (Y-axis 0-1.0, no visible lines). Clicking "1 óra" shows data. User perceives buttons as "not doing anything" because the initial state is already broken.
### Root cause (likely)
Two contributing factors:
1. **Default range too wide**: `systemRange = '24h'` — for a newly deployed system with minutes of data, this either shows nothing or shows a barely visible sliver at the right edge.
2. **Downsampling compression**: 24h range with resolution=200 → `bucketSeconds = 432`. Twenty data points spanning 20 minutes (~1200s) get grouped into ~3 buckets. Three data points CAN render as a line chart, but if Chart.js's auto-scaling or the bucket timestamps are at the very edge, the chart might not render visibly.
### Fix
**A. Change default range to `1h`:**
```javascript
let systemRange = '1h';
```
And move the `active` class to the `1h` button:
```html
```
Same for container detail range:
```javascript
let detailRange = '1h';
```
**B. Smart default**: After the system has been running for 24+ hours, `24h` makes more sense as a default. But for v0.5.1, just use `1h` — it's always reasonable.
**C. Add diagnostic logging**: To understand if 24h truly returns empty, add a temporary console.log in the JS:
```javascript
async function loadSystemMetrics() {
try {
const resp = await fetch('/api/metrics/system?range=' + systemRange + '&resolution=200');
const json = await resp.json();
console.log('[metrics] system range=' + systemRange + ', data points=' + (json.data?.labels?.length || 0));
// ... rest of handler
```
This helps debug if the issue is no data returned vs. data not rendering.
### Troubleshooting commands (run on demo node)
Before implementing the fix, verify the data is in SQLite:
```bash
# Check how many system metric rows exist
docker exec -it felhom-controller sh -c "cat /app/data/metrics.db" | strings | head -5
# Or directly via the API from the browser:
# https://felhom.demo-felhom.eu/api/metrics/system?range=1h&resolution=200
# https://felhom.demo-felhom.eu/api/metrics/system?range=24h&resolution=200
```
Compare the JSON responses. If 24h returns labels but cpu/memory arrays are zeros, it's a rendering issue. If labels are empty, it's a query issue.

## Bug 4: Charts empty on initial page load
### Problem
When navigating to the monitoring page, all four system charts show empty (no data) until the user clicks a range button.
### Root cause
Same as Bug 3 — the initial `loadSystemMetrics()` call uses the `24h` default range, which returns no visible data for a new system. Fixing Bug 3 (changing default to `1h`) should also fix this.
### Additional fix — race condition protection
Ensure the init sequence is robust. Currently:
```javascript
initSystemCharts();
initContainerCharts();
initDetailCharts();
loadSysInfo();
loadSystemMetrics();
loadContainerSummary();
```
This looks correct — charts are initialized before data is loaded. No race condition here.
### Edge case: very first load (0 data points)
If the monitoring page is loaded before the collector has stored even 1 sample (within the first 60 seconds of controller start), the "Még nincsenek adatok" message should appear. Verify this works correctly.

## Implementation order
### Step 1: Fix hostname
1. Add `/etc/hostname:/host/etc/hostname:ro` to `controller/docker-compose.yml`
2. Update `sysinfo.go` — read from `/host/etc/hostname` first
### Step 2: Fix tooltip timestamps
1. Change `items[0].parsed.x || items[0].label` to `items[0].label` in `monitoring.html`
### Step 3: Fix default range + empty charts
1. Change `systemRange = '1h'` and `detailRange = '1h'`
2. Move `active` class to "1 óra" button in both range bars
3. Add console.log diagnostic for data loading
### Step 4: Build, deploy, verify
1. Build v0.5.1
2. Deploy to demo node (sync docker-compose.yml for new volume mount)
3. Verify hostname shows "demo-felhom"
4. Verify tooltip shows correct timestamp
5. Verify charts show data on page load
6. Test all range buttons (1h → 6h → 24h → 7d → 30d)

## Files to modify
```
controller/docker-compose.yml — add /etc/hostname mount
internal/metrics/sysinfo.go — read hostname from /host/etc/hostname
internal/web/templates/monitoring.html — fix tooltip callback + default range
```
