What

Every threshold in src/health/thresholds.ts (event-loop lag, CPU %, memory %, RSS floor) was hardcoded. This reads optional overrides from AGENTMEMORY_HEALTH_* environment variables and documents them in .env.example:

Variable Default Meaning
AGENTMEMORY_HEALTH_EVENTLOOP_WARN_MS 100 event loop lag → degraded
AGENTMEMORY_HEALTH_EVENTLOOP_CRITICAL_MS 500 event loop lag → critical
AGENTMEMORY_HEALTH_CPU_WARN_PCT 80 process CPU % → degraded
AGENTMEMORY_HEALTH_CPU_CRITICAL_PCT 90 process CPU % → critical
AGENTMEMORY_HEALTH_MEM_WARN_PCT 80 heap ratio % → degraded
AGENTMEMORY_HEALTH_MEM_CRITICAL_PCT 95 heap ratio % → critical
AGENTMEMORY_HEALTH_MEM_RSS_FLOOR_MB 512 min RSS before memory alerts fire

Precedence: defaults < env < caller-supplied config (explicit evaluateHealth(snapshot, config) arguments always win, preserving existing test/API behaviour). Values are validated — missing, empty, non-numeric, or non-positive entries are ignored, so a typo can never disable or break health evaluation.

Why

Operators on different hardware need different sensitivity without patching source — e.g. wide multi-core hosts or large-RAM machines where the fixed defaults produce false criticals (#1223, #1235).

Same variable names as the stalled #226, reborn with validation, precedence rules, tests, and docs. Independent of and complementary to #1236 (which fixes the CPU percent scale itself; with both merged, the CPU vars express % of total machine capacity).

How to verify

npx vitest run test/health-thresholds-env.test.ts   # new: parsing, validation, precedence
npm test                                             # full suite: 1663 tests pass
npm run build                                        # clean

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable health-check thresholds through environment variables.
    • Supports overrides for event-loop lag, CPU usage, heap memory, and RSS memory alerts.
    • Caller-provided settings take precedence over environment values.
    • Invalid, missing, or unsafe values are ignored in favor of safe defaults.
  • Documentation

    • Added commented examples of the available health-threshold settings, including RSS values in MiB.

Every threshold in thresholds.ts was hardcoded, so operators could not
tune alert sensitivity for their hardware without patching source.
Read overrides from AGENTMEMORY_HEALTH_* environment variables
(defaults < env < caller-supplied config), validate them, and ignore
missing/invalid values so a typo can never break health evaluation.
Document the variables in .env.example.

Uses the same variable names proposed in rohitg00#226, adding input validation
and precedence rules.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Health monitoring thresholds can now be overridden with environment variables. Invalid values are ignored, RSS thresholds are converted from MiB to bytes, and caller configuration takes precedence.

Changes

Health threshold overrides

Layer / File(s) Summary
Threshold configuration and parsing
.env.example, src/health/thresholds.ts, test/health-thresholds-env.test.ts
Documents optional threshold variables and parses positive finite values. Tests cover supported, invalid, non-positive, and overflowing RSS values.
Health evaluation precedence
src/health/thresholds.ts, test/health-thresholds-env.test.ts
evaluateHealth combines defaults, environment overrides, and caller configuration. Tests verify precedence and fallback behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0fa9f

An excessively large RSS threshold can overflow during conversion and disable memory alerts, reducing health-monitoring protection in production. This bounded configuration risk should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Reject RSS overrides that overflow during conversion.

parseThreshold accepts finite MiB values, but conversion can produce Infinity. This disables RSS alerts because finite RSS values cannot reach the resulting floor. Assign the converted value only when Number.isFinite(value), and add a regression test for "1e308".

Comment thread test/health-thresholds-env.test.ts
A finite MiB value like 1e308 overflows the MiB-to-bytes conversion
and stores Infinity as memoryRssFloorBytes, silently disabling every
memory alert. Skip the override when the converted value is not finite
and cover it with a regression test.

Also drop explanatory comments per repo guidelines and declare the
standard iii-sdk mock in the env test.
