NewLife.Agent - Cross-Platform Service Daemon & Ops Framework
🌐 简体中文 | 繁體中文 | Español | Deutsch | 日本語 | Français | Português | Русский | 한국어 | العربية
Tutorial: https://newlifex.com/core/agent
Overview
NewLife.Agent is a service-oriented framework for long-running applications. It enables console/Web/Worker programs to be quickly hosted as operating system services, and provides unified install, start/stop, monitoring, restart, and troubleshooting capabilities.
Supported platforms:
- Windows (Service / startup at login)
- Linux (Systemd / Procd / RcInit, etc.)
- macOS (LaunchAgent)
Supported frameworks:
NewLife.Agent:net40;net45;net461;netstandard2.0;netstandard2.1;net6.0;net7.0;net8.0;net9.0;net10.0NewLife.Extensions.Hosting.AgentService:netcoreapp3.1;net5.0;net6.0;net7.0;net8.0;net9.0;net10.0
Highlights
- Integrated Development and Operations: Inherit
ServiceBaseto gain full service governance capabilities. - Built-in Web Dashboard: A lightweight management panel for viewing status and performing operations in a browser, with extension panels and theme switching, built-in token authentication and brute-force protection; it listens on localhost by default (
WebBindcan expose it to the LAN). - 31-Language Localization: Built-in commands, configuration descriptions, Hosting messages and the Web dashboard support 31 languages with language switching and RTL; request culture is resolved automatically by NewLife.Core.
- Cross-Platform Auto-Adaptation: Automatically selects the most suitable host implementation per operating system.
- NativeAOT Native Publishing Support: Built-in commands and the Web dashboard are fully adapted for trimming/AOT;
net8.0+builds produce zeroIsAotCompatiblewarnings, and CI covers 12 RIDs: 9 targets run real smoke tests (8 native targets + linux-loongarch64 under QEMU user-mode emulation), while cross targets (linux-arm/linux-musl-arm/linux-musl-arm64) get publish verification. - Multi-Architecture Unit Tests: win-x64 / linux-x64 / linux-arm64 run natively, and linux-loongarch64 (Loongson) runs the full test suite under QEMU user-mode emulation; triggered by push/PR and supports manual runs.
- Built-in Command System: Supports
-install/-start/-stop/-restart/-status/-run. - Health Monitoring & Self-Healing: The HealthMonitor component provides memory/thread/handle thresholds, scheduled restarts, and WatchDog health checks.
- Multi-Instance Friendly: Configure different
ServiceNamevalues to deploy multiple instances of one program. - Host Integration Extension Package: Bring ASP.NET Core/Worker applications under unified service lifecycle management.
Getting Started
1) Minimal Service
Inherit ServiceBase and call Main(args) at the entry point:
- Override
StartWork(String reason)to start your business logic - Override
StopWork(String reason)to stop and clean up resources
2) Command-Line Operations
Common commands:
-i: Install the service-install: Install and start the service-start: Start the service-stop: Stop the service-restart: Restart the service-status: View service status-u: Uninstall the service-uninstall: Stop and uninstall the service-run: Run in console mode (for debugging)
Install/uninstall/start/stop typically require Administrator (Windows) or root (Linux) privileges.
3) ASP.NET Core / Worker Integration
Reference NewLife.Extensions.Hosting.AgentService and call UseAgentService() on your HostBuilder to bridge the generic host lifecycle with Agent service governance.
