Roadmap and Planned Features

Uplinkr is developed incrementally with a strong focus on operational usefulness, low noise, and CLI-first workflows. The roadmap reflects real-world priorities rather than feature completeness.

v0.3.x - Operational Reliability & Control

Status: planned / in progress

This release strengthens Uplinkr as a dependable self-hosted monitoring core.
The focus is on operational visibility, lifecycle control, and system trustworthiness.

”I’m Alive” - Heartbeat System

Monitoring targets is important ---
but knowing that Uplinkr itself is still running is essential.

The new heartbeat mechanism periodically confirms that Uplinkr is active and functioning.

Planned capabilities:

Configurable heartbeat interval
Notification via:
- Mail
- Webhook
- or both
Lightweight and queue-compatible

This feature ensures operational transparency at the system level.

Enhanced `project:list` - Operational Overview

The project:list command evolves into a more meaningful inspection tool.

Planned improvements:

Display of project metadata
Number of assigned probes
Last execution timestamps
Basic project health indicators
Clearer CLI output formatting

Goal: make project:list a fast and reliable diagnostic command.

Advanced Archiving & File Lifecycle Management

Long-running monitoring systems generate data ---
Uplinkr will provide better control over that data.

Planned enhancements:

Configurable retention strategies
Improved archive handling
More granular file organization
Cleanup and maintenance options
Hardened JSON validation and error handling

This improves long-term stability and maintainability of installations.

Codebase refactoring
Structural improvements
Stability fixes
CLI usability polish

This phase strengthens Uplinkr internally before expanding feature scope.

v0.4.x - Analysis & Insights (Experimental)

Status: experimental / subject to change

With a stronger operational foundation in place, v0.4.x will reintroduce analytical capabilities.

Planned direction:

Result summaries
Basic trend detection
Aggregated CLI insights
Optional analysis modules

These features will remain experimental and non-critical to core monitoring stability.

Important: The roadmap is not a promise. It represents direction, not deadlines.

Features may be added, removed, or postponed based on:

Community feedback and real-world usage
Maintenance of core simplicity
Alignment with uplinkr’s philosophy
