My security tool missed my reverse proxy going down. So warden v3 watches the boxes too
说明与用途
Warden v3 添加了容器和节点的心跳检查,检测到 NAS 操作系统更新后反向代理停止,并现在自动绘制网络图并记录 SSH 登录。
问题
A security monitoring tool failed to detect that a reverse proxy container had stopped after a NAS OS update, causing a 35‑minute outage.
结果
Warden v3 now detects stopped containers, tracks uptime, logs SSH activity, and auto‑draws network topology, reducing missed outages and improving visibility.
工作流
- 1. Update NAS OS, triggering a reboot. 2. Docker stops containers during shutdown. 3. Containers do not restart due to "restart: unless-stopped" policy. 4. Warden v3 performs heartbeat checks every 5 minutes. 5. Warden detects missing beats for the reverse proxy container. 6. Warden sends a notification about the outage and subsequent recovery.
- 7. Warden logs container uptime and identifies if a reboot occurred.
- 8. Warden records SSH sign‑ins and failed attempts per box.
- 9. Warden generates an auto‑drawn network map from known topology data.
证据
Turns out the update had run docker stop on its way down, and Docker treats that as you stopping them on purpose.
Every 5 minutes warden checks every server and container: up, down, stopped, or unknown, and how long it's been up.
If a box misses three beats you get one message. When it's back you get another, and if the uptime is shorter than the outage it tells you it rebooted.
I wanted a network diagram but I didn't want to draw one, because a hand-drawn diagram is wrong the week after you draw it.
