An incident with nobody assigned and nobody holding it rendered its
detail view like this:
Assigned: nobody
Acked: not acknowledged
lipgloss pads every line of a styled block out to the width of its widest
line. A trailing newline inside Render therefore produces a second line
made entirely of padding, and the next write to the builder starts after
that padding instead of at the left margin. Twelve call sites put the
newline inside.
Adding a line() helper that keeps the newline outside, and using it
throughout the content builders.
Shipped in v0.4.0 and only visible on the unassigned or unacknowledged
path, which is why it survived the pre-release check: that run had
somebody on call, so the incident was assigned and acknowledged and both
lines took the styled-with-value branch instead.
view_test.go covers the content builders, including the two states that
were broken and an expired snooze not being reported as a snooze.
terdut-server v0.4.0 splits the alerts row into two objects, and the
endpoints this client drove for acknowledgement, comments and archiving
are gone. Pointing the same screens at the new paths would have missed
the point of the split: alerts are now Alertmanager's record, read-only
and carrying no human state, while the incident is the thing anyone
actually works on.
Incidents lead the section list and are what the client opens on. The
queue shows severity, status, assignee and age, and the detail view adds
what only exists server-side now: the group labels Alertmanager
correlated on, the member alerts, and an append-only timeline where
system events and notes are interleaved. That timeline is the whole
history the server keeps — alert rows are still mutated in place — so
rendering it in order matters more than styling it.
Actions all move onto the incident: a/A acknowledge, s assign, z/Z
snooze, c note, d delete note, x archive, R resolve.
Two of those need care rather than a keybinding:
- R, not r, resolves, and it asks first. The server treats a manual
resolve as terminal: a later occurrence opens a new incident instead
of reopening this one, and an alert that never stops firing leaves
the incident closed for good. A stray keypress is not recoverable,
so the prompt says what it means.
- x refuses on an open incident rather than archiving it, since
archiving unresolved work only hides it. Snooze is offered as the
"not now" answer, and the client treats a snoozed_until in the past
as not snoozed, matching the server, which sweeps nothing.
Statistics lead with MTTA and MTTR, neither of which was computable
before. The server sends null until something has actually been
acknowledged or resolved, and that renders as — rather than 0: no data
is a different claim from instant.
Alerts keep a tab of their own as the raw feed — useful for asking what
Alertmanager is really sending — with an Incident column replacing Ack
By, and i in the detail view jumping to the incident where something can
be done about it. Archived now holds archived incidents; archiving an
alert is server-side housekeeping and no longer a user action.
BREAKING CHANGE: requires terdut-server v0.4.0 or later. Against an
older server every incident request 404s. Use terdut-tui v0.3.x with
servers before v0.4.0.
The alert list showed only Started, which comes from Prometheus and
never changes for the lifetime of an alert instance. A firing alert
that started 12 days ago looked identical whether Alertmanager
refreshed it 30 seconds ago or went silent a week ago.
terdut-server already tracks this: the webhook upsert sets
received_at on every accepted payload, including the periodic
re-sends issued at repeat_interval, and its archiver treats the
field as a liveness heartbeat. The field was already decoded into
api.Alert.ReceivedAt and simply never rendered.
Add a Last Seen column to the alert tables, rendered with the
existing humanAgo helper. The Alerts and Archived tabs share
alertColumns/alertRows, so both pick it up. The width budget is
re-derived for five columns; the slack constant now accounts for
all of bubbles' per-cell padding, so the table lands exactly on
the terminal width instead of overflowing by two columns as it
did with four.
The detail view gains a matching Last Seen line, with the timeline
labels widened to keep values aligned. Since received_at stops
advancing once an alert resolves, also pull through the server's
resolution_source and show it in the status header
(RESOLVED · alertmanager vs RESOLVED · expiry) so a frozen
timestamp is explained.
Add a fourth tab (Alerts | Archived | Schedule | Users).
Archived alerts are fetched lazily on first visit using the
archived=true query param on GET /api/alerts.
Press x from the Alerts list or detail to archive an alert;
the non-archived list refreshes immediately. Press x from the
Archived list or detail to unarchive; the archived list
refreshes. Ack/unack are disabled in the Archived detail view.
New API methods: ArchiveAlert (POST), UnarchiveAlert (DELETE).
ArchivedAt field added to the Alert type.
Schedule table now shows ISO week number (W21) on the first
row of each week visible in the 14-day window (first row and
every Monday); other rows get a 4-space indent. Date column
widened from 16→18 to accommodate the prefix.
New W key in Schedule section opens the user picker in
week-assign mode, which assigns the selected user to all 7
days (Mon–Sun) of the ISO week containing the cursor. The +
key retains single-day assignment. The user picker header and
footer reflect which mode is active.
Add full user management section (tab to Users):
- User list table with username, email, created date
- n: create user (username + email form)
- d: delete user with confirmation (cascades API keys)
- k: API key management for selected user
- n: create new key with name input; one-time reveal
showing key value and integer key ID prominently
- r: revoke by integer ID (no list endpoint on server)
- c: copy revealed key to clipboard (atotto/clipboard)
API key listing is unavailable server-side, so the reveal
screen displays the key ID prominently for future revocation.
Adds a 14-day schedule list accessible via the Schedule tab.
Keybindings in schedule section:
←/→ (or h/l) shift the 2-week window back/forward by one week
j/k navigate rows
+ open user picker — select a user to assign to the date
d delete the selected day's assignment (y/N confirmation)
r refresh schedule from server
The user picker fetches the user list from the server on first open
(cached for the session). Selecting a user assigns them to the
highlighted date (POST /api/schedule all-or-nothing; 409 conflicts
surface as a status bar error).
The on-call header shows today's scheduled person and the current
window date range. On-call data refreshes on schedule actions.
API additions: GetSchedule, GetCurrentOnCall, AssignSchedule,
DeleteScheduleEntry, ListUsers. ScheduleEntry and User types added.
Press enter on any alert to open a full-screen detail pane (viewport).
Keybindings in detail mode:
a/A acknowledge / unacknowledge (updates immediately)
c compose a comment (text input at bottom)
[/] cycle comment cursor up/down
d delete selected comment (y/N confirmation)
s assign placeholder — shows "not yet supported by server"
S open stats view: top alerts + by-hour/by-day ASCII bar charts
esc back to dashboard
API additions: GetAlert, AcknowledgeAlert, UnacknowledgeAlert,
GetComments, AddComment, DeleteComment, GetTopAlerts,
GetStatsByHour, GetStatsByDay.
Adds a bubbles/table alert list showing Name, Status, Started (relative
time), and Ack By columns. Stats bar shows total/firing/resolved counts.
Filter cycles firing → resolved → all with [f]. Auto-refresh fires on
the configured interval via tea.Tick. Table scrolls with j/k.
Sets up the full project structure following the hactl/gokapi-tui
architecture: strict Elm-pattern Bubbletea TUI, YAML config at
~/.config/terdut-tui/config.yaml, REST API client with Bearer auth,
self-update via GitHub Releases, and a three-section tab placeholder
(Alerts / Schedule / Users) that verifies server connectivity on startup.
