# SPORE UI Zero-configuration web interface for monitoring and managing SPORE embedded systems. ## Features - **๐ŸŒ Cluster Monitoring**: Real-time view of all cluster members with auto-discovery - **๐Ÿ“Š Node Details**: Detailed system information including running tasks and available endpoints - **๐Ÿš€ OTA**: Clusterwide over-the-air firmware updates - **๐Ÿ“ฑ Responsive**: Works on all devices and screen sizes - **๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Terminal**: Terminal for interacting with a node's WebSocket ## Screenshots ### Cluster ![UI](./assets/cluster.png) ### Topology ![UI](./assets/topology.png) ### Monitoring ![UI](./assets/monitoring.png) ### Firmware ![UI](./assets/firmware.png) ## Getting Started 1. **Install dependencies**: `npm install` 2. **Start the server**: `npm start` 3. **Open in browser**: `http://localhost:3001` ## API Endpoints - **`/`** - Main UI page - **`/api/cluster/members`** - Get cluster member information - **`/api/tasks/status`** - Get task status - **`/api/node/status`** - Get system status - **`/api/node/status/:ip`** - Get status from specific node ## Technologies Used - **Backend**: Express.js, Node.js - **Frontend**: Vanilla JavaScript, CSS3, HTML5 - **Framework**: Custom component-based architecture - **API**: SPORE Embedded System API - **Design**: Glassmorphism, CSS Grid, Flexbox ## UDP Heartbeat Discovery The backend now includes automatic UDP heartbeat-based discovery for SPORE nodes on the network. This eliminates the need for hardcoded IP addresses and provides a self-healing, scalable solution for managing SPORE clusters. ### ๐Ÿš€ How It Works 1. **UDP Server**: The backend listens on port 4210 for UDP messages 2. **Heartbeat Message**: Nodes send `CLUSTER_HEARTBEAT` messages to broadcast address `255.255.255.255:4210` 3. **Auto Configuration**: When a heartbeat message is received, the source IP is automatically used to configure the SporeApiClient 4. **Dynamic Updates**: The system automatically switches to the most recently seen node as the primary connection 5. **Health Monitoring**: Continuous monitoring of node availability with automatic failover ### ๐Ÿ“ก Heartbeat Protocol - **Port**: 4210 (configurable via `UDP_PORT` constant) - **Message**: `CLUSTER_HEARTBEAT` (configurable via `HEARTBEAT_MESSAGE` constant) - **Broadcast**: `255.255.255.255:4210` - **Protocol**: UDP broadcast listening - **Auto-binding**: Automatically binds to the specified port on startup ### ๐Ÿ”ง Setup Instructions #### Backend Setup ```bash # Start the backend server npm start # The server will automatically: # - Start HTTP server on port 3001 # - Start UDP heartbeat server on port 4210 # - Wait for CLUSTER_HEARTBEAT messages ``` #### Node Configuration SPORE nodes should send heartbeat messages periodically: ```bash # Recommended: Send every 30-60 seconds # Message format: "CLUSTER_HEARTBEAT:hostname" # Target: 255.255.255.255:4210 ``` ### ๐ŸŒ Cluster Endpoints #### Cluster Management - `GET /api/discovery/nodes` - View all cluster nodes and current status - `POST /api/discovery/refresh` - Manually trigger cluster refresh - `POST /api/discovery/primary/:ip` - Manually set a specific node as primary - `POST /api/discovery/random-primary` - Randomly select a new primary node #### Health Monitoring - `GET /api/health` - Comprehensive health check including cluster status ### ๐Ÿงช Testing & Development #### Test Scripts ```bash # Send discovery messages to test the system npm run test-discovery broadcast # Send to specific IP npm run test-discovery 192.168.1.100 # Send multiple messages npm run test-discovery broadcast 5 # Test random primary node selection npm run test-random-selection # Monitor discovery in real-time npm run demo-discovery ``` #### Manual Testing ```bash # Check discovery status curl http://localhost:3001/api/discovery/nodes # Check health curl http://localhost:3001/api/health # Manual refresh curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/discovery/refresh # Random primary selection curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/discovery/random-primary # Set specific primary curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/discovery/primary/192.168.1.100 ``` ### ๐Ÿ” Troubleshooting #### Common Issues **No Nodes Discovered** ```bash # Check if backend is running curl http://localhost:3001/api/health # Verify UDP port is open netstat -tulpn | grep 4210 # Send test discovery message npm run test-discovery broadcast ``` **UDP Port Already in Use** ```bash # Check for conflicting processes netstat -tulpn | grep 4210 # Kill conflicting processes or change port in code # Restart backend server ``` **Client Not Initialized** ```bash # Check discovery status curl http://localhost:3001/api/discovery/nodes # Verify nodes are sending discovery messages # Check network connectivity ``` #### Debug Commands ```bash # Check discovery status curl http://localhost:3001/api/discovery/nodes # Check health curl http://localhost:3001/api/health # Manual refresh curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/discovery/refresh # Set primary node curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/discovery/primary/192.168.1.100 ```
