description: Multi-platform health monitor for the Zulip messaging mesh spanning Platform A (Abiba pi), Platform B (Hermes agents Tanko/Mumuni/Koonimo/Koby), and Platform C (Agent Zero). Verifies bot registration, DM delivery, cross-platform connectivity, secret injection, and YAML config integrity.
title: Zulip Mesh Health Monitor — Multi-Platform
version: 3.1.0
runtime_contract: 2
agent: abiba
---
# Zulip Mesh Health Monitor
Monitors ALL Zulip-connected agents across three platforms (pi, Hermes, Agent Zero).
Runs every 15 minutes in the background. Also triggers on session start.
v3.1.0 adds Koonimo+Koby to Platform B, Infisical dependency checks, config YAML
validation, stale PID/lock detection, Telegram adapter health, and the
cli_agent_setup_mixin patch verification.
## Requires
- **Zulip API key** for `abiba-bot@chat.sysloggh.net` in `$ZULIP_API_KEY`
- **SSH access** to Tanko (192.168.68.122), Mumuni (192.168.68.123), and Agent Zero Docker host (192.168.68.14)
- **SSH access to amdpve (192.168.68.15)** for `pct exec` access to Koonimo (CT 113) and Koby (CT 111)
- **PM2** on localhost for pi process management
- **Network access** to `chat.sysloggh.net`, `localhost:9200`
- **Write access** to `/root/zulip-health-monitor.log` and `/tmp/zulip-monitor-debounce`
- **Relay access** via RA-H OS MCP for alert delivery
## Maintains
- zulip_server_status: "healthy" | "down"
- agents: map of per-platform agent snapshots (see schema below)
- last_check: timestamp — When the last full diagnostic ran
- overall_severity: "healthy" | "degraded" | "critical"
- restart_debounce: timestamp — Last restart action (enforces 300s minimum)
### Per-Agent Snapshot Schema
```json
{
"abiba": {
"platform": "pi",
"connected": true,
"response_pipeline": "healthy",
"queue_healthy": true,
"pm2_status": "online",
"echo_loop_bot_msgs_15min": 12,
"edit_fail_rate_pct": 3,
"severity": "healthy"
},
"tanko": {
"platform": "hermes",
"zulip_state": "connected",
"heartbeat_age_seconds": 45,
"gateway_pid": 1234,
"infisical_present": true,
"config_valid": true,
"telegram_state": "connected",
"no_key_required_count": 0,
"edit_fail_rate_pct": 0,
"severity": "healthy"
}
}
```
New fields in v3.1.0:
- `infisical_present` — /usr/local/bin/infisical exists on the agent CT
- `config_valid` — /root/.hermes/config.yaml passes YAML validation
- `telegram_state` — Telegram adapter status from gateway_state.json
- `no_key_required_count` — count of `no-key-required` in gateway logs
### Postconditions
- Every platform is independently checked; one failure doesn't block others
- Restart actions respect 300s debounce window
- Critical conditions generate relay alerts to user
- All checks logged to `/root/zulip-health-monitor.log` with timestamps
## Strategies
### When Zulip server is unreachable
Skip all per-platform checks — they'll all fail downstream. Report "Zulip server down" and alert.
### When all agents are silent
Differentiate: if Zulip server returns 200, likely a shared infrastructure issue (Netbird, DNS). If server is down, it's upstream — wait.
### When restart is indicated but debounce window hasn't passed
Log the condition as "pending restart" with the timestamp. If the condition persists after debounce window, apply restart. Never bypass debounce for non-critical conditions.
### When a platform agent is unreachable via SSH
Log as "unreachable" — don't treat as critical unless it persists for 3+ consecutive checks.
### Severity escalation
## Streaming Support (2026-07-05)
Zulip agents now support progressive message editing during agent generation.
When a Hermes agent (Tanko, Mumuni, Koonimo, Koby) processes a message, the
response is streamed in real-time via Zulip's `PATCH /api/v1/messages/{id}` API:
- Adapter implements `edit_message()` using `_api_patch()` helper
- Gateway stream consumer progressively edits the Zulip message
- User sees real-time agent thinking instead of waiting for full response
- Verified: Tanko (CT 112), Mumuni (CT 114), Koonimo (CT 113), Koby (CT 111)
### Verification
```bash
# Check if agent has streaming:
grep -c "async def edit_message" ~/.hermes/plugins/*/zulip*/adapter.py
# Must return 1 — streaming is active
```
- Single agent warning → log only
- Single agent critical → relay message to user
- Two or more agents critical → immediate relay + attempt auto-recovery
- All agents critical + server up → Netbird/DNS likely down
## Invariants
- **Never restart more than once per 300s** per agent
- **Never restart if PM2 crashes > 10/h** — alert user instead
- **Never send duplicate alerts** — check last alert timestamp before relaying
- **Health checks are read-only** — diagnostics don't mutate state except for logged restarts
- **Respect Zulip API rate limits** — no more than 200 requests in rapid succession
## Continuity
- **On session start**: Run full diagnostic pass
- **Every 15 minutes**: Scheduled background check while Abiba is running
- **On `zulip-status` command**: Run on-demand and report to user
- **On critical alert**: Escalate to relay message immediately, don't wait for schedule
## Execution
### Step 1: Zulip Server Liveness
```bash
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://chat.sysloggh.net/api/v1/server_settings \
-u 'abiba-bot@chat.sysloggh.net:$ZULIP_API_KEY'
```
Expected: `200`. If not → mark `zulip_server_status: "down"`, skip per-platform checks, alert.
### Step 2: Platform A — pi (Abiba, localhost)
**A1: Health Endpoint**
Fetch `http://localhost:9200/health` as JSON. Check:
| Field | Healthy | Critical |
|-------|---------|----------|
| `connected` | `true` | `false` |
| `response_pipeline` | `healthy` | `blocked` |
| `queue_healthy` | `true` | `false` |
| `stuck` | `false` | `true` |
| `idle_seconds` | < 1800 | ≥ 1800 |
| `pending_count` | 0 | > 0 with `response_pipeline: blocked` |
| `agent_busy_duration_seconds` | < 300 | ≥ 600 |
| `last_error` | `null` | non-null string |
| `retry_count` | 02 | 3+ |
| `queue_id` | non-null string | `null` |
**A2: PM2 Process**
```bash
pm2 show abiba-zulip --no-color 2>/dev/null
```
Check: `status=online`, `restarts < 10/h`, `uptime > 60s`.
**A3: Echo Loop Detection**
```bash
grep -a "Skipped.*bot msgs" /root/.pm2/logs/abiba-zulip-out.log | tail -5
```
> 100 skipped in 15min → info only (echo loop prevention working).
**A4: Response Delivery**
```bash
grep -a "Finalized\|Failed to finalize" /root/.pm2/logs/abiba-zulip-out.log | tail -20
```
> 50% fail rate → critical — check editMessage API.
**Platform A Actions**
| Condition | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| `response_pipeline: blocked` | `pm2 restart abiba-zulip` |
| `connected: false` | `pm2 restart abiba-zulip` |
| `queue_healthy: false` | `pm2 restart abiba-zulip` |
| `stuck: true` | `pm2 restart abiba-zulip` |
| `retry_count >= 3` | `pm2 restart abiba-zulip` |
| `response_pipeline: degraded` | Monitor — no action, watchdog handles |
| `last_error` set | Log and monitor |
| Crash loop >10/h | Alert user |
### Step 3: Platform B — Hermes (Tanko .122, Mumuni .123, Koonimo .114, Koby .111)
Platform B now monitors four Hermes agents:
- Tanko (CT 112, 192.168.68.122) — Zulip + Telegram
- Mumuni (CT 114, 192.168.68.123) — Zulip + Telegram + Email
- Koonimo (CT 113, 192.168.68.114, hostname "baggy") — Zulip + Telegram
- Koby (CT 111, 192.168.68.111, hostname "tdunna") — Zulip + Telegram
SSH access: Koonimo is reachable at .114; Koby has no direct SSH. Use `pct exec`
from amdpve as the primary access method for both:
```bash
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- <command>" # Koonimo (or ssh .114)
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- <command>" # Koby (pct exec only)
```
**B1: Gateway State**
```bash
ssh root@192.168.68.122 "cat ~/.hermes/gateway_state.json"
ssh root@192.168.68.123 "cat ~/.hermes/gateway_state.json"
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- cat /root/.hermes/gateway_state.json"
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- cat /root/.hermes/gateway_state.json"
```
Check `platforms.zulip.state`: `connected` ✅ | `disconnected` ❌ | `error` ❌.
**B1.5: Infisical Dependency Check**
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "test -f /usr/local/bin/infisical && echo OK || echo MISSING"
# pct exec variant for Koonimo/Koby:
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- test -f /usr/local/bin/infisical && echo OK || echo MISSING"
```
If MISSING → flag `infisical_present: false`, note as degraded — gateway cannot
auto-start on reboot without the infisical binary.
**B2: Agent Process**
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "ps aux | grep 'gateway run' | grep -v grep"
# pct exec variant:
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- ps aux | grep 'gateway run' | grep -v grep"
```
Gateway PID should exist with uptime > 60s. Check for stale PIDs:
- `gateway.pid` and `gateway.lock` files that reference a dead process
- Multiple gateway processes (duplicate PIDs)
**B2.5: Config YAML Validation**
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "python3 -c 'import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open(\"/root/.hermes/config.yaml\"))' 2>&1"
# pct exec variant:
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- python3 -c 'import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open(\"/root/.hermes/config.yaml\"))' 2>&1"
```
Expected: no output (clean parse). If parse fails → flag `config_valid: false`,
degraded — gateway is running on stale in-memory config.
Check specifically for:
- Stray `api_key: sk-...` lines indented under `api_key_env` entries in
`custom_providers` section (hardcoded keys violate hermes-key-enforcement)
- Indentation errors in `custom_providers`, `auxiliary`, or `compression` blocks
**B3: Heartbeat Verification**
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "grep Heartbeat ~/.hermes/logs/agent.log | tail -3"
# pct exec variant:
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- grep Heartbeat /root/.hermes/logs/agent.log | tail -3"
```
Expected: recent heartbeat (within 5 min), `polls=N` incrementing.
Silence > 300s → warning. Silence > 600s → critical.
**B3.5: Stale PID/Lock Detection**
Before any restart action, check for stale pid/lock files:
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "ls -la /root/.hermes/gateway.pid /root/.hermes/gateway.lock 2>/dev/null"
# pct exec variant:
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- ls -la /root/.hermes/gateway.pid /root/.hermes/gateway.lock 2>/dev/null"
```
If gateway process is dead (no PID) but pid/lock files exist:
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "rm -f /root/.hermes/gateway.pid /root/.hermes/gateway.lock"
```
Pid/lock files blocking restart → clear them before restart attempt.
**B4: Response Delivery**
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "grep -E 'Finalized|Failed to finalize|Replied to' ~/.hermes/logs/agent.log | tail -10"
# pct exec variant for Koonimo/Koby:
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- grep -E 'Finalized|Failed to finalize|Replied to' /root/.hermes/logs/agent.log | tail -10"
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- grep -E 'Finalized|Failed to finalize|Replied to' /root/.hermes/logs/agent.log | tail -10"
```
> 50% fail rate → critical.
**B4.5: LiteLLM Key Injection Verification**
Check gateway logs for `no-key-required` failure pattern (indicates the
cli_agent_setup_mixin.py patch is missing):
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "grep -c 'no-key-required' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log 2>/dev/null || echo 0"
```
If > 0 → flag `no_key_required_count: <count>`, note as degraded — provider
requests silently fall back to `no-key-required` when LITELLM_API_KEY env var
resolves empty.
**B5: Telegram Adapter Health**
Check Telegram connectivity in gateway state or logs:
```bash
# From gateway_state.json (all agents):
ssh root@<CT> "cat ~/.hermes/gateway_state.json | python3 -c 'import json,sys;d=json.load(sys.stdin);print(d[\"platforms\"].get(\"telegram\",{}).get(\"state\",\"missing\"))'"
# pct exec variant for Koonimo/Koby (cat the file; read platforms.telegram.state):
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- cat /root/.hermes/gateway_state.json"
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- cat /root/.hermes/gateway_state.json"
# From logs (check for stuck DNS resolution):
ssh root@<CT> "grep -E 'Telegram.*Connecting|Telegram.*Connected|attempt 1/8' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -5"
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- grep -E 'Telegram.*Connecting|Telegram.*Connected|attempt 1/8' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -5"
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- grep -E 'Telegram.*Connecting|Telegram.*Connected|attempt 1/8' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -5"
```
Telegram states: `connected` ✅ | `disconnected` ❌ | `retrying` ⚠️ | `fatal` ❌ | `paused` ⚠️
If stuck on "attempt 1/8" for > 60s → flag Telegram as degraded (Zulip may
still be fine — do NOT treat as Zulip outage).
**B6: cli_agent_setup_mixin.py Patch Verification**
Check whether the `no-key-required` fallback string exists without the
LiteLLM-specific guard (only needed when LiteLLM key injection failures are
suspected). A bare count of the fallback string cannot distinguish a guarded
occurrence from an unguarded one, so count both the fallback string and the
LiteLLM guard token:
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "f=\$(grep -c 'no-key-required' /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); g=\$(grep -c 'LITELLM_API_KEY' /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); echo fallback=\$f guard=\$g"
# pct exec variant:
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- bash -c 'f=\$(grep -c no-key-required /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); g=\$(grep -c LITELLM_API_KEY /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); echo fallback=\$f guard=\$g'"
```
If `fallback > 0` and `guard == 0` → the fallback string is present without
the LiteLLM-specific guard, so the patch is missing. If unsure, inspect each
occurrence with `grep -n -B2 -A2 'no-key-required'` to confirm the guard
wraps it.
**Platform B Actions**
| Condition | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| `zulip.state != "connected"` | Restart gateway (see B2 restart commands below) |
| No heartbeat in 10min | Restart gateway |
| `Failed to finalize` > 50% | Check PATCH API, Zulip server |
| Response empty/short | Check A2A endpoint / LiteLLM model |
| `infisical_present: false` | Flag as degraded — log and alert; do NOT auto-restart via the standard command (it cannot inject the key without infisical). Operator may use the Infisical-missing fallback restart below. |
| `config_valid: false` | Flag as degraded — alert user, gateway running on stale config |
| Stale pid/lock files detected | Clean files before restart |
| `no_key_required_count > 0` | Flag as degraded — check LITELLM_API_KEY injection |
| Telegram stuck on attempt 1/8 | Flag Telegram as degraded, no Zulip action needed |
**Restart Commands**
Standard restart (Infisical present):
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "pkill -f 'gateway run'; sleep 2; hermes gateway restart"
# pct exec variant:
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- bash -c 'pkill -f \"gateway run\"; sleep 2; systemctl restart hermes-gateway'"
```
The mechanisms differ by design: Tanko/Mumuni launch the gateway through a
wrapper loop, so the `hermes gateway restart` CLI is the correct entry point
(it re-arms the wrapper). Koonimo/Koby run the gateway as a systemd unit
(`hermes-gateway.service`), so `systemctl restart hermes-gateway` is the
correct entry point under `pct exec`. Do not swap the two — using the CLI on
Koonimo/Koby would bypass the unit, and using `systemctl` on Tanko/Mumuni
would miss the wrapper loop.
Fallback: Infisical missing → start gateway directly from venv with env vars:
```bash
ssh root@<CT> "source /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/venv/bin/activate && \
export LITELLM_API_KEY=\$(grep -E '^LITELLM_API_KEY=' /root/.hermes/.env | cut -d= -f2-) && \
export ZULIP_API_KEY=\$(grep -E '^ZULIP_API_KEY=' /root/.hermes/.env | cut -d= -f2-) && \
cd /root/.hermes && nohup hermes gateway run > logs/gateway-manual-start.log 2>&1 &"
# pct exec variant:
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- bash -c 'source /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/venv/bin/activate; export LITELLM_API_KEY=\$(grep -E ^LITELLM_API_KEY= /root/.hermes/.env | cut -d= -f2-); export ZULIP_API_KEY=\$(grep -E ^ZULIP_API_KEY= /root/.hermes/.env | cut -d= -f2-); cd /root/.hermes; nohup hermes gateway run > logs/gateway-manual-start.log 2>&1 &'"
```
### Step 4: Platform C — Agent Zero (kagentz, CT 105 via Docker host .14)
**C1: A2A Server Health**
```bash
ssh root@192.168.68.14 "docker exec agent-zero curl -s --connect-timeout 5 http://127.0.0.1:8001/.well-known/agent.json"
```
Expected: `{"name":"kagentz",...}`. Connection refused → A2A server down.
**C2: Adapter Process**
```bash
ssh root@192.168.68.14 "docker exec agent-zero ps aux | grep adapter | grep -v grep"
```
Adapter should be running. Missing → restart inside container.
**C3: Heartbeat & Queue**
```bash
ssh root@192.168.68.14 "docker exec agent-zero grep Heartbeat /tmp/zulip-adapter.log | tail -3"
```
Check: `processed=N` incrementing, `silence < 600s`, `reconnects` ≈ 0.
**C4: A2A Response Verification**
```bash
ssh root@192.168.68.14 "docker exec agent-zero curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8001/a2a \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"tasks/send\",\"params\":{\"message\":{\"role\":\"user\",\"parts\":[{\"text\":\"ping\"}]}},\"id\":1}'"
```
Expected: task ID with "working" status. Poll for completion with `tasks/get`.
**Platform C Actions**
| Condition | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| A2A `.well-known/agent.json` fails | `docker exec agent-zero bash -c "pkill -9 -f a2a_agent; cd /a0 && /opt/venv-a0/bin/python3 -u /a0/usr/a2a_agent.py > /tmp/a2a.log 2>&1 &"` |
| Adapter process missing | Restart adapter inside container with env vars |
| Silence > 600s | Restart adapter (auto-reconnect handles BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID) |
| LiteLLM 401 | Check API key in a2a_agent.py `LITELLM_KEY` |
### Step 5: Global Checks
**Cross-Agent Echo Loop Detection**
Check each agent's log for excessive bot-to-bot chatter:
- Abiba: `Skipped.*bot msgs` count
- Tanko/Mumuni/Koonimo/Koby: Repeated DM exchanges between bots
- kagentz: Adapter log for bot DMs being processed
If any bot processes >50 bot-originated messages in 15min → warning.
### Step 6: Compile and Report
1. Compile all platform checks and severity
2. Determine `overall_severity` from worst per-agent severity
3. If restart action needed, check `/tmp/zulip-monitor-debounce` — apply only if >300s since last restart
4. Log full diagnostic to `/root/zulip-health-monitor.log` with timestamp
5. If any agent critical or >2 degraded: send relay message to user
6. Update `last_check` timestamp in `### Maintains` snapshot
### Restart Debounce
All restart actions MUST debounce: minimum 300s between restarts.
Track via `/tmp/zulip-monitor-debounce` (unix timestamp of last restart).
---
## History
### v3.1.0 (2026-07-23) — Koonimo Outage Lessons
Added Koonimo (CT 113) and Koby (CT 111) to Platform B monitoring.
Added Infisical dependency check, config YAML validation, stale PID/lock
detection, Telegram adapter health, LiteLLM key injection verification, and
cli_agent_setup_mixin.py patch verification. Updated restart commands with
Infisical-missing fallback path.
### Gen 5 (2026-07-02) — Rate Limit Death Spiral Fix
**Root Cause**: Proactive Queue Rotation at 25 min triggered queue re-registration every cycle. Each re-registration + retry loop (3 attempts) + monitor restart = 8-12 API calls per cycle. Combined with monitor's own API calls (server check, stream alerts), `abiba-bot` hit Zulip's rate limit (429 RATE_LIMIT_HIT). Each restart reset the cycle, creating a death spiral: 111 restarts in 24 hours.
**Fixes — Extension (`index.js`)**:
1. **Rotation extended to 55 min** (from 25) with **±90s jitter** — avoids aligning with cron/monitor cycles
2. **Rate-limit-aware retry** — if connection fails with 429, skip the retry loop entirely, wait 120s, try once
**Fixes — Monitor (`zulip-monitor.sh`)**:
3. **Smart Triage** instead of instant restart:
- **Rate-limit detection**: If error log shows recent 429s, wait — don't add more API load
- **Self-healing detection**: If `retry_count` is 1-2, extension is already retrying — don't interrupt
- **Rotation window awareness**: If `queue_age` is 25-35min, disconnection is likely transient rotation — wait
- **Persistent failure threshold**: Only restart after 3 consecutive failed checks (45 min) AND no self-healing in progress
- **Debounce gate**: Skip all checks entirely if recently restarted
### Gen 4 (2026-06-29) — Response Pipeline Fix
**Root Cause**: LLM hangs due to GPU saturation (503 QUEUE_TIMEOUT) → pi's `agent_end` never fires → pending Zulip replies accumulate with no timeout. Health endpoint showed `connected: true, stuck: false` while user experienced complete silence.
**Four-Layer Defense**:
1. **Response Watchdog** — 30s deadline timer; 5min placeholder edit; 10min error message + dequeue
2. **Queue Health Ping** — Every 2min `/api/v1/events?dont_block=true` to detect silent expiry
3. **Proactive Queue Rotation** — New queue every 25min + 600 empty poll reconnection threshold
4. **Health Endpoint v2** — Added `response_pipeline`, `pending_count`, `queue_healthy`, `agent_busy_duration_seconds`
### Gen 3 (2026-06-15) — Stuck Detection
Added `stuck: bool` and `idle_seconds` to health endpoint. Monitor restarts on `stuck: true`. Added 300s restart debounce. Queue re-registers after 30min of no events.
