Verolla

Continuous Monitoring and Alert Automation System

Verolla is a Software Engineering group project that implements a Continuous Monitoring and Alert Automation System.
The system monitors performance metrics, detects threshold violations, and generates alerts in real time.

---

📌 Project Overview

Verolla is designed to:

• Monitor system metrics (CPU, memory, disk usage, etc.)
• Detect abnormal conditions
• Trigger automated alerts
• Provide user authentication (login/signup module)
• Maintain complete software engineering documentation

The project follows a Hybrid Architecture:

• Monolithic Modular Architecture
• Event-Driven Architecture

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Node.js
• Express.js
• HTML/CSS
• JSON (Local storage for demo purposes)

---

⚙️ Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or above)
• npm (v9 or above)

Check versions:

node -v
npm -v

🚀 Running the Authentication Module

cd Modules
npm install
npm start

The server will run at:

http://localhost:3000

🔑 API Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description
POST	/api/signup	Register a new user
POST	/api/login	Authenticate user
POST	/api/forgot-password	Password recovery
GET	/api/users	Retrieve users (without passwords)

---

📊 Current Implementation Status

Verolla is currently under active development.

The following components are implemented at this stage:

✅ Implemented Features

1. User Authentication Module

• User Registration (multi-step form)
• Login using username or email
• Forgot Password endpoint (basic flow)
• Server-side validation (email, phone, password strength, DOB, username rules)
• Credential storage using JSON-based persistence
• User data management via API

2. Backend API (Express Server)

• REST API endpoints:
  • POST /api/signup
  • POST /api/login
  • POST /api/forgot-password
  • GET /api/users
• Express-based server architecture
• CORS enabled
• Static file serving for frontend pages
• Persistent local storage (users.json)

3. Frontend Interface

• Modern Login interface
• Multi-step Signup interface
• Client-side validation
• Dynamic user feedback (toast notifications)
• Basic session handling using local storage

4. Software Engineering Artifacts

• Software Requirements Specification (SRS)
• UML Class Diagram
• Use Case Diagrams
• Level 0 and Level 1 DFD
• Architecture Style Documentation
• Hybrid Architecture Justification (Modular Monolith + Event-Driven)

---

🚧 Modules in Development

The following major system modules are designed and architected, and will be implemented in upcoming phases:

• Real-Time Metric Collection
• Threshold Management
• Alert Generation Engine
• Alert Lifecycle Management
• Notification Integration (Email/SMS)
• Dashboard for Monitoring and Visualization
• Logging and Audit Module
• Role-Based Access Control
• Database Integration
• Secure Authentication Mechanisms

---

📌 Project Status

Verolla currently includes a functional Authentication subsystem along with complete system design documentation.

The Monitoring, Alert Automation, and Notification subsystems are actively being developed as part of the next implementation phase.
