Use websocket for server charts instead of polling - #2558

Conversation
An open server console page made roughly two Livewire round trips per second,
per tab, indefinitely. On one production host nine open consoles produced a
sustained ~10.6 req/s, saturating a php-fpm worker pool and holding MySQL at a
14-24% baseline. The cost is linear in the number of open consoles and
independent of fleet size, so the panel got slower the more operators used it.
Everything the page displays already reaches the browser over the Wings
websocket. The panel was doing this:
wings --ws--> browser --POST--> php --> cache --poll--> php --> browser
The browser handed each `stats` frame back to the panel via a `store-stats`
Livewire call purely so PHP could cache it, and ServerOverview plus the three
chart widgets each polled once a second to read it back out.
The stats frame now feeds the widgets directly in the browser. Chart data is
pushed into the Alpine component Filament already exposes, via a client-side
Livewire event; because ChartWidget declares no server-side listener for
`updateChartData`, that dispatch costs no request. The overview's live values
became spans updated from the same frame. All four widgets set
$pollingInterval to null, and the store-stats listener and the now-unread
`servers.{id}.*` cache entries are gone.
An idle console page now makes no requests to the panel at all.
Two existing bugs go with it. storeStats() sliced its sample buffer with
array_slice(), which reindexes integer keys, so every timestamp key became an
array offset and the charts labelled their points with times just after the
Unix epoch. The same buffer retained 120 samples under a one-minute TTL, so at
one sample per second most of what it stored could never be read back.
Note for anyone with out-of-tree console widgets registered through
Console::registerCustomWidgets(): the `servers.{id}.cpu_absolute`,
`memory_bytes`, `disk_bytes`, `network` and `uptime` cache keys are no longer
written. The separate `servers.{uuid}.status` and `servers.{uuid}.resources`
keys are untouched.

Reset in-memory history when config.uuid changes.
The server list renders one ServerEntry per server, and its normal click path uses Livewire.navigate() while SPA mode is enabled on the list route. Returning to the list and opening another server can therefore remount the console in the same document. The module-level samples array survives, while restoreSamples() skips the new server's history because the array is non-empty. The next push() then stores the mixed samples under the new server's key. Clear samples and currentState before restoring a changed server UUID.
Proposed fix
configure(options) {
+ const previousUuid = config.uuid;
Object.assign(config, options);
+
+ if (config.uuid !== previousUuid) {
+ samples.length = 0;
+ currentState = null;
+ }
restoreSamples();

MDN WebSocket send CONNECTING CLOSING CLOSED readyState InvalidStateError
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The WebSocket readyState property indicates the current state of a WebSocket connection [1]. There are four possible numeric constants defined by the WebSocket interface [1][2]: 1. CONNECTING (0): The socket has been created, but the connection is not yet open [1][2]. 2. OPEN (1): The connection is open and ready for communication [1]. 3. CLOSING (2): The connection is in the process of closing [1][2]. 4. CLOSED (3): The connection is closed or could not be established [1][2]. Regarding the send method, the InvalidStateError DOMException is thrown only if you attempt to call socket.send while the connection is in the CONNECTING (0) state [3][4]. If you call send while the connection is in the CLOSING (2) or CLOSED (3) state, the browser does not throw an exception; instead, it silently discards the data [3][4]. To ensure data is sent successfully, it is recommended to either wait for the open event to fire before calling send, or check that readyState is equal to WebSocket.OPEN (1) [5][6][7].

Gate console messages on authenticated WebSocket readiness.
During the retry delay, socket is CLOSED. During connect(), it is CONNECTING. The setServerState and sendServerCommand handlers call socket.send() without checking readiness or waiting for auth success. send() throws in CONNECTING and silently discards data in CLOSED, so commands and power actions can be lost. Track readiness after auth success, then queue messages or disable controls until authentication completes. Add browser coverage for a command sent during reconnection.

Drive the server console from the websocket instead of polling
Why
An open console page costs ~2 Livewire round trips per second, per tab, for as long as it stays open. On a production host, nine open console tabs produced a sustained ~10.6 req/s, saturating a php-fpm core to more than 100% CPU and holding MySQL at a 14–24% baseline. Nothing was failing — 8111 × HTTP 200 and zero 429s over ten minutes. The cost is just linear in open consoles, so the panel gets slower the more operators use it.
The data was already in the browser. Every Wings
statsframe was posted back to PHP purely so PHP could cache it, and four widgets then polled once a second to read it back out:What
The
statsframe now feeds the widgets directly in the browser, and nothing on the page polls.updateChartDataevent client-side.ChartWidgetdeclares no server-side listener for it, and Livewire only turns a browser event into a request for declared listeners — so this costs no round trip. The chart classes are otherwise untouched.Stat::$valuealready acceptsHtmlable, soStatand the stat blade are unchanged.$pollingInterval = null. Explicitlynull, not deleted —CanPolldefaults it to'5s'.store-statslistener and theservers.{id}.*stats cache entries are removed; nothing reads or writes them any more.An idle console page now makes no requests to the panel.
Also fixes
storeStats()retained its buffer witharray_slice($cachedStats, -120)on an array keyed by integer timestamp.array_slicereindexes integer keys, so every key became an array offset and the charts labelled their points with times just after the Unix epoch. The same buffer kept 120 samples under a one-minute TTL, so most of what it stored could never be read back.Worth knowing
Console::registerCustomWidgets()that readservers.{id}.cpu_absolute,memory_bytes,disk_bytes,networkoruptimewill find them no longer written. Theservers.{uuid}.statusandservers.{uuid}.resourceskeys are untouched.Tests
tests/Unit/Filament/ServerConsoleWidgetsTest.php— all four widgets resolve$pollingIntervaltonull, andServerConsoledeclares nostore-statslistener. Reflection only, so it sits in the unit suite CI runs by path.tests/Filament/ServerConsoleChartDispatchTest.php— the blade's dispatch targets matchapp('livewire.finder')->normalizeName(). Filament registers panel components under their FQCN, so a hand-written component name would silently deliver to nothing.Pint and PHPStan clean;
