# Email Monitoring Implementation Summary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Successfully implemented a comprehensive email monitoring and alerting system for the AlpineBits Python server with proper configuration schema validation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Implementation Completed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Core Components ✅
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **[email_service.py](../src/alpine_bits_python/email_service.py)** - SMTP email service with TLS/SSL support
|
||||||
|
- **[email_monitoring.py](../src/alpine_bits_python/email_monitoring.py)** - Logging integration with hybrid alert strategy
|
||||||
|
- **[logging_config.py](../src/alpine_bits_python/logging_config.py)** - Integration with existing logging system
|
||||||
|
- **[api.py](../src/alpine_bits_python/api.py)** - Lifecycle management (startup/shutdown)
|
||||||
|
- **[config_loader.py](../src/alpine_bits_python/config_loader.py)** - **Schema validation for email config** ✅
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Configuration Schema ✅
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Added comprehensive Voluptuous schemas to `config_loader.py`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
# SMTP configuration
|
||||||
|
smtp_schema = Schema({
|
||||||
|
Required("host", default="localhost"): str,
|
||||||
|
Required("port", default=587): Range(min=1, max=65535),
|
||||||
|
Optional("username"): str,
|
||||||
|
Optional("password"): str,
|
||||||
|
Required("use_tls", default=True): Boolean(),
|
||||||
|
Required("use_ssl", default=False): Boolean(),
|
||||||
|
})
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Error alerts configuration
|
||||||
|
error_alerts_schema = Schema({
|
||||||
|
Required("enabled", default=False): Boolean(),
|
||||||
|
Optional("recipients", default=[]): [str],
|
||||||
|
Required("error_threshold", default=5): Range(min=1),
|
||||||
|
Required("buffer_minutes", default=15): Range(min=1),
|
||||||
|
Required("cooldown_minutes", default=15): Range(min=0),
|
||||||
|
Required("log_levels", default=["ERROR", "CRITICAL"]): [
|
||||||
|
In(["DEBUG", "INFO", "WARNING", "ERROR", "CRITICAL"])
|
||||||
|
],
|
||||||
|
})
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Daily report configuration
|
||||||
|
daily_report_schema = Schema({
|
||||||
|
Required("enabled", default=False): Boolean(),
|
||||||
|
Optional("recipients", default=[]): [str],
|
||||||
|
Required("send_time", default="08:00"): str,
|
||||||
|
Required("include_stats", default=True): Boolean(),
|
||||||
|
Required("include_errors", default=True): Boolean(),
|
||||||
|
})
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Benefits:**
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Type validation (strings, integers, booleans, lists)
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Range validation (port 1-65535, positive integers)
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Enum validation (log levels must be valid)
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Default values for all optional fields
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Prevents typos and misconfigurations
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Clear error messages when config is invalid
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Configuration Files ✅
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**[config/config.yaml](../config/config.yaml)** - Email configuration (currently disabled by default):
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
host: "smtp.gmail.com"
|
||||||
|

## Key Features
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Hybrid Alert Strategy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The system uses a smart hybrid approach that balances responsiveness with spam prevention:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Immediate Alerts** - When error threshold is reached (e.g., 5 errors), send alert immediately
|
||||||
|
2. **Buffered Alerts** - Otherwise, accumulate errors and send after buffer time (e.g., 15 minutes)
|
||||||
|
3. **Cooldown Period** - After sending, wait before sending another alert to prevent spam
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Automatic Integration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Zero Code Changes Required** - All existing `logger.error()` calls automatically trigger email alerts
|
||||||
|
- **Non-Blocking** - SMTP operations run in thread pool, won't block async requests
|
||||||
|
- **Thread-Safe** - Works correctly in multi-threaded async environment
|
||||||
|
- **Production Ready** - Proper error handling, never crashes the application
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Schema Validation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Voluptuous schema ensures:
|
||||||
|
- ✅ All config values are valid before the app starts
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Clear error messages for misconfigurations
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Sensible defaults for optional values
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Type safety (no runtime type errors)
|
||||||
|
- ✅ PREVENT_EXTRA prevents typos in config keys
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Testing Results

### Regression Tests
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
✅ All existing API tests still pass
|
||||||
|
✅ No breaking changes to existing functionality
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### To Enable Email Monitoring:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Add SMTP credentials** to `config/secrets.yaml`:
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
EMAIL_USERNAME: your-email@gmail.com
|
||||||
|
EMAIL_PASSWORD: your-app-password
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Enable features** in `config/config.yaml`:
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
email:
|
||||||
|
monitoring:
|
||||||
|
error_alerts:
|
||||||
|
enabled: true # Enable error alerts
|
||||||
|
daily_report:
|
||||||
|
enabled: true # Enable daily reports
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Restart the server** - Email monitoring will start automatically
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### To Test Email Monitoring:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Run the interactive test suite
|
||||||
|
uv run python examples/test_email_monitoring.py
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will:
|
||||||
|
1. Send a test email
|
||||||
|
2. Trigger an error alert by exceeding the threshold
|
||||||
|
3. Trigger a buffered alert by waiting for buffer time
|
||||||
|
4. Send a test daily report
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Architecture Decisions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why Voluptuous Schema Validation?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The project already uses Voluptuous for config validation, so we:
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Maintained consistency with existing codebase
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Leveraged existing validation patterns
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Kept dependencies minimal (no new libraries needed)
|
||||||
|
- ✅ Ensured config errors are caught at startup, not runtime
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why Hybrid Alert Strategy?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The hybrid approach (immediate + buffered) provides:
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Fast response** for critical issues (5+ errors = immediate alert)
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Spam prevention** for occasional errors (buffered alerts)
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Cooldown period** prevents alert fatigue
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Always sends** buffered errors (no minimum threshold for time-based flush)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Why Custom Logging Handler?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Using a custom `logging.Handler` provides:
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Zero code changes** - automatically captures all error logs
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Clean separation** - monitoring logic separate from business logic
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Standard pattern** - follows Python logging best practices
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Easy to disable** - just remove handler from logger
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
