## Per-Service Resource Metrics (systemd-exporter)
### Current State
No per-service CPU, memory, or IO metrics are collected. The existing node-exporter systemd collector only provides unit state (active/inactive/failed), socket stats, and timer triggers. While systemd tracks per-unit resource usage via cgroups internally (visible in `systemctl status` and `systemd-cgtop`), this data is not exported to Prometheus.
### Available Solution
The `prometheus-systemd-exporter` package (v0.7.0) is available in nixpkgs with a ready-made NixOS module:
```nix
services.prometheus.exporters.systemd.enable = true;
```
**Options:** `enable`, `port`, `extraFlags`, `user`, `group`
This exporter reads cgroup data and exposes per-unit metrics including:
- CPU seconds consumed per service
- Memory usage per service
- Task/process counts per service
- Restart counts
- IO usage
### Recommendation
Enable on all hosts via the shared `system/` config (same pattern as node-exporter). Add a corresponding scrape job on monitoring01. This would give visibility into resource consumption per service across the fleet, useful for capacity planning and diagnosing noisy-neighbor issues on shared hosts.

# Zigbee Sensor Battery Monitoring
## Problem
Three Aqara Zigbee temperature sensors report `battery: 0` in their MQTT payload, making the `hass_sensor_battery_percent` Prometheus metric useless for battery monitoring on these devices.
Affected sensors:
- **Temp Living Room** (`0x54ef441000a54d3c`) — area: living_room
- **Temp Office** (`0x54ef441000a547bd`) — area: office
- **temp_server** — area: server_room
The **Temp Bedroom** sensor (`0x00124b0025495463`) is a different model and reports battery correctly (69% at time of investigation).
## Findings
- All three sensors are actively reporting temperature, humidity, and pressure data — they are not dead.
- The Zigbee2MQTT payload includes a `voltage` field (e.g., `2707` = 2.707V), which indicates healthy battery levels (~40-60% for a CR2032 coin cell).
- CR2032 voltage reference: ~3.0V fresh, ~2.7V mid-life, ~2.1V dead.
- The `voltage` field is not exposed as a Prometheus metric — it exists only in the MQTT payload.
- This is a known firmware quirk with some Aqara sensors that always report 0% battery.
## Possible Solutions
### 1. Expose voltage as a Prometheus metric
Enable the voltage sensor entities in Home Assistant (they may exist but be disabled by default). The HA Prometheus integration would then export them automatically.
### 2. Calculate battery from voltage in Zigbee2MQTT
Override the battery calculation using the voltage field. Approximate formula: `(voltage - 2100) / (3000 - 2100) * 100`.
### 3. Alert on sensor staleness instead
Create a Prometheus alert based on `hass_last_updated_time_seconds` going stale (e.g., no temperature update in 1 hour). This detects dead sensors regardless of battery reporting accuracy.
