🚀 NetMon-AI Enhancement Summary

✨ New Features Added (February 2026)

1. Enhanced Shell Experience

  • ✅ Piping & Redirection: Support for | (pipes) and > (output redirection)

    ask "list processes" | search python
pslist > processes.txt

  • ✅ Git Branch Detection: Automatically shows current Git branch in prompt

    /home/user/project (main) $

  • ✅ Persistent Command History:

    • History saved across sessions
    • Ctrl+R for reverse search (Unix-like systems)
    • history command to view past commands

  • ✅ Enhanced Tab Completion:

    • Command suggestions
    • File path completion
    • Alias suggestions

2. Advanced File Operations

# Search for text in files (grep-like)
search "error" /var/log/syslog

# Display file contents
cat config.yaml

# Create/update file timestamp
touch newfile.txt

# Enhanced ls with color coding
ls /etc

3. Command Aliases System

Create shortcuts for frequently used commands:

# Create alias
alias ll "ls -la"
alias health-check "health"

# Use alias
ll

# View all aliases
aliases

# Remove alias
unalias ll

4. System Health Scoring

# Get overall system health score (0-100)
health

# Output:
# === System Health Report ===
# CPU Usage: 45.2% (Score: 54.8/100)
# Memory Usage: 62.1% (Score: 37.9/100)
# Disk Usage: 78.5% (Score: 21.5/100)
# 
# Overall Health: 38.1/100 - FAIR

5. Intelligent Alerting System 🔔

# View recent alerts
alerts 20

# View configuration
alert-config

# Set custom thresholds
set-threshold cpu 75 90
set-threshold memory 80 95

# Configuration includes:
# - Configurable thresholds per resource
# - Multiple notification channels (console, file, email, webhook)
# - Alert suppression/deduplication
# - Alert history tracking

Alert Features:

  • 🔴 CRITICAL alerts for resources >90%
  • 🟡 WARNING alerts for resources >75%
  • 🔵 INFO alerts for general events
  • Automatic deduplication (5-minute window)
  • Multiple notification channels

6. Enhanced User Management 👥

# View password policies
password-policy

# View active sessions
sessions

# Add user with password validation
# (Requires: min 8 chars, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special chars)

Password Policy Features:

  • Minimum length enforcement
  • Complexity requirements (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special chars)
  • Password expiry tracking (90 days default)
  • Failed login attempt monitoring
  • Session management

7. System State Export

# Export complete system snapshot
export

# Creates: data/system_snapshot_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.json
# Includes: metrics, processes, aliases, git branch, etc.

8. Cross-Platform Improvements

  • Windows readline support via pyreadline3
  • Better Windows CMD color handling
  • Platform-specific command adaptations

🎯 Usage Examples

Example 1: Set up custom workflows

# Create aliases for common tasks
alias checkhealth "health"
alias viewlogs "cat /var/log/syslog | search error"
alias backup "export"

# Use them
checkhealth
viewlogs
backup

Example 2: Monitor and alert

# Configure alerts for your thresholds
set-threshold cpu 70 85
set-threshold memory 75 90
set-threshold disk 80 95

# Check health (triggers alerts if needed)
health

# View recent alerts
alerts 10

Example 3: User management

# View password requirements
password-policy

# Add user (will validate password)
ask "add user john"

# View active sessions
sessions

Example 4: Advanced file operations

# Search logs
search "failed" /var/log/auth.log

# Chain commands with pipes
pslist | search python > python_processes.txt

# View file
cat python_processes.txt

🔒 Security Enhancements
