# GuruRMM Session Log: 2026-01-21
**Project:** GuruRMM - Remote Monitoring & Management System
**Duration:** ~2 hours
**Focus:** Dashboard UI Redesign + Production Fixes
---
## Session Summary
### What Was Accomplished
1. **Fixed 500 Error on Dashboard**
- Nginx config pointed to wrong path (`/var/www/gururmm/dashboard/dist` instead of `/var/www/gururmm/dashboard`)
- Fixed by updating nginx config and reloading
2. **Diagnosed Network Error on Login**
- Dashboard hardcoded to `https://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com` for API calls
- Users accessing via `http://172.16.3.30` got cross-origin errors
- Solution: Access via domain `https://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com/`
3. **Complete Dashboard UI Redesign - "Mission Control" Aesthetic**
- Transformed generic template design into distinctive command center theme
- Dark navy theme with cyan/teal accents
- Glassmorphism cards with backdrop blur
- JetBrains Mono + Inter typography
- Animated stat cards, status pulses, entrance animations
- Grid pattern backgrounds with radial glow effects
### Key Decisions Made
1. **Dark Theme as Default**
- Rationale: RMM tools are monitoring dashboards, dark theme reduces eye strain
- Color palette: Navy (#0a0e1a) base, cyan (#06b6d4) primary accent
2. **Monospace Typography for Data**
- Rationale: Technical/command center aesthetic appropriate for RMM tool
- JetBrains Mono for headings/data, Inter for body text
3. **Glassmorphism Card Style**
- Rationale: Modern, distinctive, creates depth without being distracting
- Semi-transparent backgrounds with backdrop-blur
### Problems Encountered and Solutions
**Problem 1: 500 Error on Dashboard**
- Error: `rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.html"`
- Cause: Nginx root pointed to non-existent `/dist` subdirectory
- Fix: `sed -i 's|/var/www/gururmm/dashboard/dist|/var/www/gururmm/dashboard|'`
**Problem 2: Network Error on Login**
- Error: Browser CORS blocking API calls
- Cause: Dashboard loaded from `http://172.16.3.30`, API calls to `https://rmm-api.azcomputerguru.com`
- Fix: Access dashboard via domain (same origin)
**Problem 3: TypeScript Build Error**
- Error: `'CheckCircle' is declared but its value is never read`
- Cause: Unused import in redesigned Dashboard.tsx
- Fix: Removed unused import
**Problem 4: CSS @import Warning**
- Warning: `@import rules must precede all rules aside from @charset and @layer`
- Cause: Google Fonts import came after Tailwind import
- Fix: Moved font import to top of index.css
