# Core Private Node Routes

These routes are consumed only by the node agent and require the `x-node-auth-key` header.

## Transport

The node uses two transports to communicate with Core:

- **HTTP** — registration only (`POST /node/register`).
- **gRPC** — all other node-to-core calls: heartbeat, usage reporting, config sync, and stats. Core listens on `GRPC_PORT` (default `3002`). The node connects via `CORE_GRPC_URL`. Set `CORE_INSECURE=true` on the node to use plaintext instead of TLS.

The HTTP routes for heartbeat, usage, config, and error remain available as a fallback but the node agent uses gRPC by default.

## Authentication

- `POST /node/register` is the only public route in this group.
- All other HTTP routes require the `x-node-auth-key` header.
- gRPC calls pass the auth key as the `x-node-auth-key` metadata header (or in the `authKey` request field as fallback).
- The auth key is issued by Core during registration and persisted on the node side.

## Route table

| `POST` | `/node/register` | `RegisterNodeDto` | Returns `{ authKey, nodeId }` |
| `POST` | `/node/heartbeat` | `NodeHeartbeatDto` | Returns `{ ok: true, needSync }` |
| `POST` | `/node/usage` | `NodeUsageDto` | Returns `{ ok: true }` |
| `POST` | `/node/outbound-usage` | `NodeOutboundUsageDto` | Returns `{ ok: true }` |
| `POST` | `/node/session-events` | `SessionEventsDto` | Returns `{ ok: true }` |
| `GET` | `/node/config/latest` | none | Returns `NodeConfig` |
| `POST` | `/node/config/applied` | `NodeConfigAppliedDto` | Returns `{ ok: true }` |
| `POST` | `/node/error` | `NodeErrorDto` | Returns `{ ok: true }` |

## Request payloads

### `RegisterNodeDto`

- `code: string`
- `name: string`
- `ip: string`
- `port: number` — agent HTTP port (required; auto-detected from `PORT` env on the node)
- `region: string`
- `domain?: string` — optional domain name (omitted on auto-registration; can be set later via admin panel)

### `NodeHeartbeatDto`

- `ip?: string`
- `revision?: number`

The node sends its current revision in heartbeats. Core uses it to decide whether a sync is needed.

### `NodeUsageDto`

- `entries: UsageEntryDto[]`

`UsageEntryDto` fields:

- `userId: number`
- `subscriptionId?: number | null`
- `nodeProtocolId: number`
- `bytesUp: number`
- `bytesDown: number`
- `recordedAt: string`

### `NodeOutboundUsageDto`

- `items: OutboundUsageItem[]`

`OutboundUsageItem` fields:

- `tag: string`
- `bytesUp: number`
- `bytesDown: number`

### `SessionEventsDto`

- `events: SessionEventEntryDto[]`

`SessionEventEntryDto` fields:

- `userId: number`
- `protocol: VpnProtocol`
- `eventType: SessionEventType`
- `occurredAt: string`
- `ipAddress?: string`

### `NodeConfigAppliedDto`

- `revision: number`

### `NodeErrorDto`

- `message: string`
- `code?: string`
- `details?: Record<string, unknown>`

## `NodeConfig`

The config returned by `GET /node/config/latest` has this structure:

```ts
{
  revision: number
  clientMap: Record<string, { userId: number; subscriptionId: number | null }>
  mtprotoClientMap: Record<string, { userId: number; subscriptionId: number | null }>
  services: {
    xray?: XrayServiceConfig
    mtproto?: MtProtoServiceConfig
  }
}
```

Important notes:

- `clientMap` maps subscription-link IDs (lsId) to the user and subscription — used for both xray and telemt traffic/online-IP attribution (the telemt username now mirrors the xray email `u{userId}.l{linkId}.s{lsId}.i{protoId}`).
- `mtprotoClientMap` (lsUuid-keyed) is retained on the wire for backward compatibility but is no longer used for attribution.
- `services.xray` contains the Xray inbounds, routing, and outbounds for the node.
- `services.mtproto` contains MTProto inbounds for `telemt`.
- The node stores the current revision and client maps locally after a successful apply.

## Route semantics

- `POST /node/heartbeat` updates `lastSeenAt` and can request a sync when the node revision is behind.
- `POST /node/usage` stores per-minute usage rows and increments subscription traffic counters.
- `POST /node/outbound-usage` increments `node_outbounds.traffic_bytes_up/down`.
- `POST /node/session-events` stores online/offline events in `session_events`.
- `POST /node/config/applied` marks the node sync status as `synced`.
- `POST /node/error` marks the node as `error` and the sync status as `failed`.

## gRPC interface (`NodeService`)

Core exposes a gRPC service that the node agent uses for all real-time communication. The service name is `nodeservice.NodeService` and is defined in `proto/node-service.proto`.

Authentication: pass `x-node-auth-key` as gRPC metadata (or in the `authKey` field of the request as fallback).

| Method | Request fields | Response fields | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `Heartbeat` | `authKey`, `revision?`, `ip?` | `ok`, `needSync` | Equivalent to `POST /node/heartbeat` |
| `ReportUsage` | `authKey`, `entries[]` | `ok` | Equivalent to `POST /node/usage` |
| `ReportOutboundUsage` | `authKey`, `items[]` | `ok` | Equivalent to `POST /node/outbound-usage` |
| `GetLatestConfig` | `authKey` | `revision`, `clientMapJson`, `mtprotoClientMapJson`, `servicesJson` | Config fields are JSON-encoded strings |
| `ConfirmConfigApplied` | `authKey`, `revision` | `ok` | Equivalent to `POST /node/config/applied` |
| `ReportNodeStats` | `authKey`, `system{}`, `xray{}`, `mtprotoJson` | `ok` | Reports CPU/RAM/disk/network/xray/mtproto snapshot; stored in Redis; drives `GET /admin/nodes/:id/runtime-status` and stats history |
| `ReportOnlineUsers` | `authKey`, `users[]` | `ok` | Reports currently connected users with their IPs every 5 s; Core stores Redis TTL keys and updates IP history |

`ReportNodeStats` nested fields:
- `system`: `uptimeSeconds`, `cpuPercent`, `cpuCores`, `ramUsed`, `ramTotal`, `diskUsed`, `diskTotal`, `netRxPerSec`, `netTxPerSec`, `netRxTotal`, `netTxTotal`
- `xray`: `running`, `uptimeSeconds?`
- `mtprotoJson`: JSON string `Record<tag, MtProtoStatus>`

`ReportOnlineUsers.users[]` entry: `userId`, `nodeProtocolId`, `ips[]{ip, lastSeen}`.

The node sends `ReportNodeStats` every 2 s. `GET /admin/nodes/:id/runtime-status` returns the latest stored snapshot without polling the node; `?fromNode=true` forces a live HTTP fetch instead.

The node sends `ReportOnlineUsers` every 5 s. Core sets `online:user:{userId}` and `online:inbound:{nodeProtocolId}:user:{userId}` Redis keys with TTL 20 s. Existing `(userId, ip)` rows only receive a new `lastSeenAt`; missing pairs are inserted. Private RFC1918 IPv4 addresses, IPv4-mapped private addresses, and IPv6 ULA addresses can still establish online presence but are excluded from `user_ips` writes. IP information enrichment supports IPinfo.io, ip-api.com, and FindIP.net. FindIP requests are sent sequentially per IP, and failed lookups are skipped. A daily job refreshes all known addresses, while a job running every 10 minutes processes addresses with `firstSeenAt > now - 10 minutes`. Results are stored in `user_ips.info`. Core also emits a `user.online` domain event when the user had a gap > 10 s.
