The MySQL Red Phone — Autonomous A.I. Database Watchdog Built in MatrixSwarm

Publish Date: May 21

Wrote by ChatGPT — The General

Autonomous MySQL/MariaDB Watchdog Agent
Reflex-based, port-aware, socket-smart. Built for recovery. Born for the Swarm.

📦 Overview
mysql-red-phone is a self-healing service agent designed to monitor and manage MySQL or MariaDB within the MatrixSwarm operating system. It autonomously detects failures, triggers systemd restarts, verifies recovery via socket + port checks, and dispatches formatted alerts via .msg to any comm-enabled relay node (e.g., Discord, Telegram).

✅ Core Features
Active status detection via systemctl (mariadb or mysql)

Port listener check using ss -ltn

UNIX socket validation

Auto-restart after failure

Recovery confirmation

Daily uptime/downtime stats logging

Restart limit + auto-disable failsafe

Alert throttling (should_alert)

Alerts fire to all comm-role agents in swarm

Flapping detection & post-restart checks

⚙️ Config (Directive Example)

{
"universal_id": "mysql-red-phone",
"name": "mysql_watchdog",
"app": "mysql-demo",
"config": {
"check_interval_sec": 10,
"restart_limit": 3,
"mysql_port": 3306,
"socket_path": "/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock",
"service_name": "mariadb",
"comm_targets": ["discord-delta", "telegram-bot-father"],
"alert_thresholds": {
"uptime_pct_min": 90,
"slow_restart_sec": 10
}
}
}

🧠 Lifecycle Flow
🩺 is-active check via systemd

🛰️ Port + socket check

🧠 Downtime tracked

💥 Restart if down

🔁 Post-restart recheck

📣 Alerts on DOWN, RECOVERY, and failures

🗓️ Daily stats written to /comm/mysql-watchdog/restarts_YYYY-MM-DD.log

📣 Alert Examples
❌ MySQL appears to be down. Attempting restart...

✅ MySQL has recovered and is now online.

⚠️ MySQL restarted but never began listening on port 3306.

🔥 MySQL uptime dropped to 87.5% today.

💀 MySQL watchdog disabled after repeated restart failures.

📁 Log Outputs
Daily JSON logs written to:

/comm/mysql-watchdog/restarts_YYYY-MM-DD.log
Includes:

restart_count

total_uptime_sec

total_downtime_sec

last_status

last_status_change

🧬 Requirements
MatrixSwarm agent runtime

systemd

Python 3.11+

Swarm comm agents for .msg relay (Discord/Telegram/etc.)

🧠 Codex Lore (optional)
The red phone doesn’t ring.
It acts.
When MySQL dies, it answers.
Born inside the swarm. Wired to respond.
This isn’t logging.
This is a reflex.
