New maglev-frontend component; promote LB sync events to INFO
Introduces maglev-frontend, a responsive, real-time web dashboard for one
or more running maglevd instances. Source lives at cmd/frontend/; the
built binary is maglev-frontend. It is a single Go process with the
SolidJS SPA embedded via //go:embed — no runtime file dependencies.
Architecture
- One persistent gRPC connection per configured maglevd (-server A,B,C).
Each connection runs three background loops: a WatchEvents stream
subscribed at log_level=debug for live events, a 30s refresh loop as
a safety net for drift, and a 5s health loop that surfaces connection
drops quickly.
- In-process pub/sub broker with a 30s / 2000-event replay ring using
<epoch>-<seq> monotonic IDs. Short browser reconnects (nginx idle,
wifi flap, laptop wake) silently replay buffered events via the
EventSource Last-Event-ID header; longer outages or frontend restarts
fall through to a "resync" event that triggers a full state refetch.
- HTTP surface: /view/ (SPA), /view/api/state, /view/api/state/{name},
/view/api/maglevds, /view/api/version, /view/api/events (SSE),
/healthz, and an /admin/* placeholder returning 501 for a future
basic-auth mutation surface.
- SSE handler follows the full operational checklist: retry hint, 15s
: ping heartbeat, Flush after every write, r.Context().Done() teardown,
X-Accel-Buffering: no, and no gzip.
SolidJS SPA (cmd/frontend/web/, Vite + TypeScript)
- solid-js/store for a reactive per-maglevd state tree; reducers apply
backend transitions, maglevd-status flips, and resync refetches.
- Scope selector tabs for multi-maglevd support, per-maglevd frontend
cards with pool tables showing state, configured weight, effective
weight, and last-transition age.
- ProbeHeartbeat component turns a middle-dot into ❤️ on probe-start and
back on probe-done, driven by real log events; fixed-size wrapper so
the emoji swap doesn't jiggle the row.
- Flash wrapper animates any primitive on change (1s yellow fade via
Web Animations API, skipped on first mount). Wired into the state
badge, configured weight, and effective weight columns.
- DebugPanel: chronological rolling event tail with tail-style auto-
scroll, pause/resume, and scope/firehose filter. Syntactic highlight
for vpp-lb-sync-* events with fixed-order attribute formatting.
- Live effective_weight updates: vpp-lb-sync-as-added/removed/weight-
updated log events are routed through a reducer that walks the
snapshot's pool rows and sets effective_weight on every match
without waiting for the 30s refresh.
- Header shows build version + commit with build date in a tooltip,
fetched once from /view/api/version on mount.
- Prettier wired in as the web-side fixstyle; make fixstyle now tidies
both Go and web in one shot via a new fixstyle-web target.
Per-mutation VPP LB sync logging
- Promotes the addVIP/delVIP/addAS/delAS/setASWeight helpers from
slog.Debug to slog.Info and renames them from vpp-lbsync-* to
vpp-lb-sync-{vip-added,vip-removed,as-added,as-removed,as-weight-
updated}. Matching rename for vpp-lb-sync-start / -done / -error /
-vip-recreate. The Prometheus metric name (maglev_vpp_lbsync_total)
is left alone to preserve dashboards.
- setASWeight now takes the prior weight so the event can emit
from=X to=Y and the UI can show the delta.
- The vip field in every event is the bare address (no /32 or /128
mask), matching the CLI output style.
- Any listener on the gRPC WatchEvents stream — CLI watch events or
maglev-frontend — now sees every VIP/AS dataplane change in real
time without needing to raise the log level.
Build and tooling
- Makefile: maglev-frontend added to BINARIES; build / build-amd64 /
build-arm64 emit the binary alongside maglevd and maglevc. A new
maglev-frontend-web target rebuilds the SolidJS bundle via npm.
- web/dist/ is tracked so a bare `go build` keeps working for Go-only
contributors and CI.
- .gitignore skips cmd/frontend/web/node_modules/.
Stability fixes
- maglevd's WatchEvents synthetic replay events (from==to, at_unix_ns=0)
were corrupting the frontend's LastTransition cache with at=0,
rendering as "20555d ago" in the browser. Client now skips synthetic
events: the cache comes from refreshAll and doesn't need them.
- Frontends, Backends, and HealthChecks are now served in the order
returned by the corresponding List* RPC instead of Go map iteration
order, so reloads and refreshes keep the SPA stable.
