TypeScript API Reference
Create Doctor Service
typescriptimport { createDoctorService } from 'clodds/doctor'; const doctor = createDoctorService({ // Checks to run checks: ['system', 'node', 'network', 'api', 'database', 'channels'], // Thresholds thresholds: { memoryWarning: 80, // % memory usage memoryCritical: 95, diskWarning: 80, // % disk usage diskCritical: 95, latencyWarning: 1000, // ms latencyCritical: 5000, }, // Timeout timeoutMs: 30000, });
Run Diagnostics
typescript// Run all checks const report = await doctor.runDiagnostics(); console.log(`Overall: ${report.status}`); // 'healthy' | 'degraded' | 'unhealthy' console.log(`Checks passed: ${report.passed}/${report.total}`); for (const check of report.checks) { const icon = check.status === 'pass' ? '✓' : check.status === 'warn' ? '⚠' : '✗'; console.log(`${icon} ${check.name}: ${check.message}`); if (check.details) { console.log(` ${JSON.stringify(check.details)}`); } }
Run Specific Check
typescript// Check system resources const system = await doctor.checkSystem(); console.log(`OS: ${system.os} ${system.version}`); console.log(`CPU: ${system.cpuUsage}%`); console.log(`Memory: ${system.memoryUsage}% (${system.memoryUsedGB}/${system.memoryTotalGB} GB)`); console.log(`Disk: ${system.diskUsage}% (${system.diskUsedGB}/${system.diskTotalGB} GB)`);
Check Node.js
typescriptconst node = await doctor.checkNode(); console.log(`Node.js: ${node.version}`); console.log(`Heap: ${node.heapUsed}/${node.heapTotal} MB`); console.log(`RSS: ${node.rss} MB`); console.log(`Uptime: ${node.uptime} seconds`);
Check Network
typescriptconst network = await doctor.checkNetwork(); console.log(`Internet: ${network.internet ? 'Connected' : 'Disconnected'}`); console.log(`DNS: ${network.dns ? 'Working' : 'Failed'}`); for (const [endpoint, result] of Object.entries(network.endpoints)) { console.log(`${endpoint}: ${result.reachable ? 'OK' : 'Failed'} (${result.latencyMs}ms)`); }
Check API Keys
typescriptconst api = await doctor.checkApiKeys(); for (const [provider, status] of Object.entries(api)) { console.log(`${provider}: ${status.valid ? 'Valid' : 'Invalid'}`); if (status.error) { console.log(` Error: ${status.error}`); } if (status.quota) { console.log(` Quota: ${status.quota.used}/${status.quota.limit}`); } }
Check Database
typescriptconst db = await doctor.checkDatabase(); console.log(`Connected: ${db.connected}`); console.log(`Latency: ${db.latencyMs}ms`); console.log(`Version: ${db.version}`); console.log(`Tables: ${db.tables}`); console.log(`Size: ${db.sizeMB} MB`);
Check Channels
typescriptconst channels = await doctor.checkChannels(); for (const channel of channels) { console.log(`${channel.name}: ${channel.status}`); if (channel.error) { console.log(` Error: ${channel.error}`); } console.log(` Connected: ${channel.connected}`); console.log(` Last message: ${channel.lastMessage}`); }
Format Report
typescript// Get formatted report const report = await doctor.runDiagnostics(); const formatted = doctor.formatReport(report); console.log(formatted); // Outputs nicely formatted diagnostic report
Diagnostic Checks
| Check | What it Tests |
|---|---|
| system | OS, CPU, memory, disk |
| node | Node.js version, heap, memory |
| network | Internet, DNS, API endpoints |
| api | API key validity and quotas |
| database | Connection, latency, schema |
| channels | Channel connections, health |
| mcp | MCP server connections |
| dependencies | npm packages, versions |
Status Levels
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| healthy | All checks pass |
| degraded | Some warnings, still functional |
| unhealthy | Critical failures, action needed |
Check Results
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| pass | Check succeeded |
| warn | Warning threshold exceeded |
| fail | Critical failure |
| skip | Check skipped (not applicable) |
CLI Commands

Common Issues
High Memory Usage
⚠ Memory: 85% used
Solution: Restart the service or increase available memory
API Key Invalid
✗ Anthropic API: Invalid key
Solution: Check ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in .env
Database Connection Failed
✗ Database: Connection refused
Solution: Check DATABASE_URL and ensure PostgreSQL is running
Channel Disconnected
⚠ Telegram: Disconnected
Solution: Check TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and network connectivity
Best Practices
- Run regularly — Check health daily or after changes
- Monitor trends — Watch for gradual degradation
- Set alerts — Alert on unhealthy status
- Fix warnings — Don't wait for failures
- Review before deploy — Run doctor before production changes
