TowerOps

Network monitoring and alerting platform built with Phoenix LiveView.

Features

• Multi-tenant architecture - Organizations with role-based permissions
• Site hierarchy - Organize equipment across multiple sites
• Automated monitoring - Real-time ping monitoring with configurable intervals
• Time-series data - Efficient storage with TimescaleDB (optional)
• Real-time updates - LiveView dashboard with PubSub
• Equipment tracking - Monitor network devices by IP address

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Elixir 1.14+
• PostgreSQL 14+
• (Optional) TimescaleDB for production-grade time-series performance

Setup

# Install dependencies
mix setup

# Start the server
mix phx.server

Visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

TimescaleDB (Production Only)

Development: Uses standard PostgreSQL (no TimescaleDB required).

Production: TimescaleDB is automatically enabled for optimal performance with time-series data.

# Production deployment - install TimescaleDB first
brew tap timescale/tap && brew install timescaledb  # macOS
# Then run migrations with MIX_ENV=prod
MIX_ENV=prod mix ecto.migrate

See TIMESCALEDB.md for detailed installation and configuration.

How it works: Migrations detect the environment (MIX_ENV) and only enable TimescaleDB features (hypertables, compression, retention policies, continuous aggregates) in production.

Development

Database

mix ecto.create       # Create database
mix ecto.migrate      # Run migrations
mix ecto.reset        # Drop, create, and migrate

Testing

mix test              # Run all tests
mix test --trace      # Run with detailed output

Code Quality

mix format            # Format code with Styler
mix compile --warnings-as-errors
