Machine health

Machine health in Cmdop comes in two halves: the relay’s live connection picture — how many machines are online or stale, plus presence, uptime, last heartbeat, and message rate — and Machine Care, durable facts each machine’s agent observes about its own host. Care is why you can read a machine’s health while it is asleep.

Open Server → Connections in the web console for the live picture, and Machines for the per-machine detail.

Connection health

The connections summary reports how many machines are online, how many are stale, and the total. Each connected machine shows what the relay can actually measure:

• presence
• uptime
• last heartbeat
• message rate

Values the relay cannot measure are not shown. Cmdop does not invent round-trip time, throughput, or a quality score to fill the gap.

Machine Care facts

Machine Care is the durable half. Each machine’s agent observes bounded facts about its own host, evaluates them, and reports one sanitized current projection up to the relay. That means you can review every machine in the fleet from one place without running a scan on each one, and the answer is still there when the machine is asleep.

Care records what it observed, what it concluded, how much of the host it managed to cover, and how fresh that is. Coverage is reported rather than assumed — a fact it could not collect is shown as not collected, not as a healthy zero.

You can also reach the same facts from a terminal or from an assistant:

Per-machine controls

Selecting one machine gives you its permission policy — mode, rules, recent decisions, and granted OS-level directories — its armed schedules, and its connection PIN.

Common questions

What does Machine health show?

It shows the relay’s live connection view and Machine Care facts reported by each machine’s agent: presence, uptime, heartbeat, message rate where measured, and durable care observations with freshness and coverage.

Can I read health for a sleeping machine?

You can read the last reported Machine Care facts even when the machine is asleep. Live connection values still depend on whether the machine is currently connected.

Does Cmdop invent missing health values?

No. Values the relay or agent did not collect are shown as missing or not collected, not as healthy zeroes or synthetic scores.
