Added comprehensive timestamp formatting to both agent logs and UI:
Rust Agent Logger:
- Added chrono dependency to Cargo.toml
- Updated SimpleLogger to include timestamps in log output
- Format: [2026-01-15 19:45:23.456] [LEVEL] message
- Shows full date, time, and milliseconds for precise log tracking
Phoenix UI Enhancements:
- Added format_datetime/1 - Full date/time with timezone
- Added format_date/1 - Short date format
- Added format_last_seen_with_date/1 - Relative time with full date
- Updated agent show page to display full timestamps in 'Last Seen' card
- Added comprehensive Timestamps section showing:
- Created date (inserted_at)
- Last Updated date (updated_at)
- Last Seen date (last_seen_at with heartbeat context)
- Last IP Address
- Updated agent index page to show full datetime alongside relative time
All timestamps now include both human-readable relative times ('5m ago')
and precise absolute dates for accurate record keeping and debugging.
Added /health HTTP endpoint on port 8080 that returns:
- Agent status and version
- Uptime in seconds
- Pending metrics count
- Last error (if any)
Implementation:
- Uses lightweight tiny_http server in background thread
- Non-blocking health checks
- Returns JSON for easy integration with monitoring tools
- Ready for Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes
Example response:
{
"status": "healthy",
"version": "0.1.0",
"uptime_seconds": 3600,
"config_last_fetch": "2026-01-14T23:00:00Z",
"metrics_pending": 0,
"last_error": null
}
The agent was failing with 'no TLS backend is configured' because
ureq was configured with 'default-features = false' which disables
TLS entirely. Removing this restriction allows ureq to use its default
TLS implementation (rustls on supported platforms).
This fixes HTTPS connections to the Towerops API.
