Operations & Maintenance Overview
Operating RUSEON Core in high-throughput video surveillance and AI streaming environments requires end-to-end visibility into stream health, buffer saturation, network bandwidth, and persistent storage integrity.
RUSEON Core provides a complete, production-grade observability and maintenance toolset natively integrated into the single binary.
Core Operations Pillars
| Area | Architecture & Implementation | Primary Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| Monitoring & Health | Prometheus scraping, Grafana dashboards, strict non-blocking /livez & /readyz probes | Monitoring Guide |
| Prometheus Metrics | Granular metrics for ingest FPS, bandwidth, buffer drops, active WebRTC peers, and disk usage | Metrics Catalog |
| Structured Logging | Zero-allocation JSON logging via zerolog with trace correlation and configurable log levels | Logging Guide |
| Runtime Profiling | Real-time net/http/pprof endpoints for on-demand CPU, heap, goroutine, and lock contention analysis | Profiling Guide |
| State Backups & Disaster Recovery | Atomic BadgerDB v4 snapshot creation and restoration via ruseon-cli | Backups Guide |
| Security & Access Control | JWT authentication, role management, CORS policies, and TLS 1.3 cipher suite hardening | Security Guide |
Quick Operational Checklist
- Scrape Metrics: Configure your Prometheus server to scrape
http://<ruseon-host>:9090/metricsevery 10–15 seconds. - Configure Health Probes: In Kubernetes or Docker Compose, point liveness probes to
/livezand readiness probes to/readyz. - Automate Backups: Set up a daily cron job running
ruseon-cli backup createto preserve camera topologies and user accounts. - Monitor Buffer Drops: Configure an alert on
ruseon_buffer_drops_total > 0to identify slow consumers or network congestion.
