When the gateway is restarted (either via CLI or API), the system should automatically send a confirmation message to the user on the configured channel to confirm the restart is complete.

Use case:

  • User asks agent to restart gateway
  • Gateway restarts (which kills the agent process)
  • After restart completes, user should receive an automated message like "Gateway restarted successfully"

Current behavior:

  • Agent process is killed during restart
  • User has no confirmation that restart succeeded
  • User must manually check if service is back up

Expected behavior:

  • System should track the restart operation
  • After successful restart, send an automated confirmation to the configured channel
  • This should work even when the agent process is killed during restart (possibly handled by the gateway itself)

Additional context:

  • This is especially useful for channels where the user might not have direct access to the CLI (e.g., using NapCat/QQ, Telegram, etc.)
  • Could be implemented as a post-restart hook in the gateway process

Fix Plan

The fix involves implementing a post-restart hook in the gateway process to send a confirmation message to the user.

Steps to Implement the Fix

  • Modify the gateway restart script to include a post-restart hook
  • In the hook, send a confirmation message to the configured channel using the relevant API (e.g., NapCat/QQ, Telegram, etc.)

Example Code

import requests

# Post-restart hook function
def send_restart_confirmation(channel, user_id):
    # Replace with the actual API endpoint and credentials
    api_endpoint = "https://example.com/notify"
    api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

    # Set the message and recipient
    message = "Gateway restarted successfully"
    recipient = user_id

    # Send the confirmation message
    response = requests.post(api_endpoint, headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"}, json={"message": message, "recipient": recipient})

    # Check if the message was sent successfully
    if response.status_code == 200:
        print("Restart confirmation sent successfully")
    else:
        print("Error sending restart confirmation")

# Example usage
channel = "NapCat/QQ"
user_id = "USER123"
send_restart_confirmation(channel, user_id)

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, restart the gateway and check if the user receives the automated confirmation message on the configured channel.

Extra Tips

  • Make sure to handle errors and exceptions properly in the post-restart hook to avoid issues during the restart process.
  • Consider adding logging to track the confirmation messages sent and any errors that occur.
