Skill + template: - wiki-compile Phase 2P: type-aware authoritative-artifact discovery for projects (migrations, API routes, agent modules, roadmap-done, commit log), with a stale-submodule guard that reads origin/main when the pinned submodule lags. Changelogs treated as incomplete, not authoritative. - project template: add a Capabilities / Feature Set section. GuruRMM recompile (from live main artifacts, not session logs): - Added Capabilities / Feature Set section covering monitoring, remote execution (incl. system vs user_session contexts), inventory/discovery, update mgmt, policy, alerting/watchdog, backup, tunnel, identity/security. - Fixed the misleading "runs as LocalSystem" command-fields line (the gap that started this) and the stale BUG-001 temperature claim (now shipped). - Qualified Entra-only SSO; noted safe-rollout is unwired scaffolding.

GuruRMM
Summary
GuruRMM is a Remote Monitoring & Management platform built by Arizona Computer Guru LLC for internal MSP operations and eventual productization. The server (Rust/Axum) and dashboard (React/TypeScript) are production-deployed at https://rmm.azcomputerguru.com with approximately 55 enrolled agents across multiple client sites. The agent runs on managed Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints.
Current version: agent 0.6.39 / 0.6.41 in fleet as of 2026-05-26 (server v0.3.x). Note: committed changelogs are stale (stop at agent v0.6.22 / server v0.3.1) — migrations + commit log are the authoritative feature record, not changelogs.
Repo: azcomputerguru/gururmm on Gitea (internal: http://172.16.3.20:3000). The copy at D:\claudetools\projects\msp-tools\guru-rmm is a stale reference submodule — do NOT develop there; all real work happens in the Gitea repo.
Goal: Full-featured MSP platform rivaling commercial RMMs, with a companion PSA (GuruPSA, separate future repo) designed as a truly integrated unified system — not bolted-together products.
Capabilities / Feature Set
Synthesized from authoritative artifacts (API routes, agent modules, 46 migrations, roadmap, commit log) at live main — not from session logs. See Compilation Notes.
Agent↔server communication is a persistent authenticated WebSocket with auto-reconnect + heartbeat; on reconnect, in-flight commands flip to interrupted. Platform-parity rule: agent features ship on Windows/Linux/macOS in the same change (stub + TODO where a real impl isn't yet feasible).
Monitoring & Telemetry
- Core metrics per interval (policy-tunable per section): CPU %, memory %/bytes, disk %/bytes, network rx/tx deltas, uptime, logged-in user, user idle time (Win
GetLastInputInfo, Linuxxprintidle), public/WAN IP (cached, multi-service fallback). Cross-platform viasysinfo. - Hardware sensor telemetry: CPU/GPU temps + full sensor array (temperature, voltage, fan RPM, power). Windows via bundled LibreHardwareMonitor + WMI (
ohw.rs); Linux via/sys/class/thermal;sysinfo::Componentsfallback. - Process drill-down: top 10 by CPU + top 10 by memory in every metrics payload (cross-platform).
- Network state: per-interface IPv4/IPv6, MAC, derived CIDR subnets — sent on change only.
Remote Execution
- Command types:
shell,powershell,python, rawscript{interpreter}, andclaude_task. Options:timeout_seconds,elevated. - Execution context (
041_add_command_context):system(default — Session 0 / service SYSTEM) oruser_session(runs in the active logged-on user's desktop session via WTS token impersonation:WTSQueryUserToken+CreateProcessAsUserW+ per-user env block). Windows-only; requires an active session. - Commands individually cancellable (
POST /commands/:id/cancel) and aborted on disconnect. Auditable history; status running/completed/failed/timeout/interrupted. - Script library (
017_scripts): stored scripts dispatched to agents with args/env/timeout/run_as_user; per-run history.
Inventory & Discovery
- Hardware inventory (mfr/model/serial/BIOS, CPU, memory, disks, NICs, OS), software inventory (installed apps), service inventory. On-demand refresh.
- VM / hypervisor / container detection (
032/033):is_virtual_machine,hypervisor_type,vm_uuid,is_hypervisor+ hosted VM UUIDs,is_container,is_unraid. - User/group inventory (
037–040): local + domain + Azure AD accounts (enabled, pw-never-expires, last-logon, is_admin, AD email/UPN/dept), domain-join classification (none/ad/aad/hybrid), domain name, M365 tenant ID, domain-controller detection (is_dc), group membership. Policy-scheduled (default 24h). - Network discovery: server-dispatched scans — TCP probes over configurable ranges/ports, ARP MAC, reverse DNS, basic OS fingerprint; devices stream back and are persisted/editable.
Patch / Agent Update Management
- Self-updater: server sends version + URL + SHA256; agent downloads, verifies checksum, atomically swaps binary, restarts, and auto-rolls back to a kept backup if it fails to reconnect (~180s window).
- Auto-update gated on effective policy
auto_update(channel + defer_hours; maintenance-window field received but not yet enforced [verify]). Force viaPOST /agents/:id/update. Update channels at agent/site/client (026). - Safe-rollout (
046):update_rollouts/health-metrics/events tables +/updates/rolloutspromote/rollback. Scaffolding only — promotion is manual; health-gated automation is written-but-unwired (Phase 2).
Policy & Configuration Management
- Inheritance chain global → client → site → agent; server computes merged effective policy, pushes via
ConfigUpdate. Effective policy queryable per scope. - Checks engine (
018/019): cpu, memory, disk, ping, port, script, service (restart-if-stopped, pass-if-not-exist; Winsc.exe, Linuxsystemctl). Policy-attached check templates (024) with push-to-agent sync. On-demandrun-checks. - Remote registry (Windows,
winreg): agent supports enumerate/read/write (typed)/create/delete. HTTP API currently exposes read-only (enumerate, read_value); write paths exist in the agent but aren't routed yet [verify].
Alerting & Watchdog
- Threshold alerts (ack/resolve, per-agent + fleet summary, dashboard filter). Alert templates (
022) with effective resolution; per-client email settings (020). Maintenance mode (021) to suppress alerting per scope. - Watchdog: separate supervising process (polls
GuruRMMAgentevery 30s, restart backoff, alert after 3 fails) + launches/reaps the tray into active user sessions via WTS. Full alert CRUD + ack/resolve.
Backup Integration (MSP360 / MSPBackups)
- Multi-provider config (
034/035) with connection test, scheduled sync, per-agent + all-providers status, fleet coverage report, and agent↔MSP360 mapping (044) with confidence scoring + manual verification.
Remote Access (Tunnel)
- Agent side substantially built (
TunnelManagerstate machine; Open/Close/Data). Server side is a dead-code skeleton — not declared inapi/mod.rs, no/tunnelroutes, WS handler logs "not yet implemented." Not production-ready.
Identity / Multi-tenancy / Security
- Auth: JWT (login/register/me); agents auth over WS via per-agent API key + hardware device_id.
- Microsoft Entra ID SSO (OAuth2/OIDC + PKCE), gated on server config. Multi-provider incl. Google is spec'd (SPEC-008) but Google not implemented [verify].
- Organizations / multi-tenancy: org CRUD, per-org membership + roles, limits, dev-admin user impersonation (
/auth/impersonate/:id). Backend present; dashboard UI partial. - Encrypted credentials vault (
016): scoped global/client/site, typed (password, SSH key, SNMP), metadata-only by default with separate/revealdecrypt endpoint (known HIGH item:/revealownership-scope check — [verify current state]). - Enrollment & keys (
012): per-agent key issuance on first run, site API keys (regenerable), site-specific MSI with SITEKEY injected at download, public install-report ingestion. Legacy PowerShell agent path for Server 2008 R2. - Logs: agent log upload (periodic + on-demand), per-agent events (
042), fleet log view, AI-assisted log analysis (/logs/analyze) — AI-optional per locked decision.
Platform coverage
- Cross-platform (Win/Linux/macOS): metrics, network state, hardware/software/service inventory, user/group + DC/domain detection, checks (service checks Win+Linux), discovery, self-update, scripts/commands.
- Windows-only:
user_sessioncommand context (WTS), LibreHardwareMonitor temps, remote registry, tray-into-session, watchdog SCM supervision. - macOS: agent deployed (Phase 1); tray is a stub; automated Mac build pipeline is an intentional stub (no build host) [verify before claiming CI Mac releases].

Current Focus
As of 2026-05-24 (v0.6.38):
- Tray IPC + peer authorization — Linux tray merged (PR #13+#14). Open: Windows peer authz (#16), logind console-user resolution (#17), macOS tray (#18), subscriber broadcast (#19).
- Agent self-update hardening — ProtectSystem=strict needs
ReadWritePaths=/var/log /usr/local/bin /etc/gururmmandRuntimeDirectory=gururmm. Fixed in PR #21. - Auto-update reliability — BB-SERVER and RECEPTIONIST-PC (Cascades) miss dispatch windows due to flaky WebSockets. Re-querying pending updates on reconnect: incomplete as of 2026-05-24.
- Watchdog alerts UI — backend complete but
PUT /watchdog-alerts/:id/resolveandDELETE /watchdog-alerts/:idroutes missing on server (found in 2026-05-23 audit). - MSP360 backup integration — Phase 1 complete (monitoring, alerts, mapping, storage thresholds). Phase 2 (management) not started.
- Security audit backlog:
credentials/:id/revealhorizontal privilege escalation (HIGH),internal_err()raw DB errors at ~130 call sites (HIGH).
Patterns & Anti-Patterns
Anti-patterns — never repeat:
| Pattern | What Went Wrong |
|---|---|
useMemo with stable deps for data-dependent values |
queryClient is stable, memo never recomputes after queries resolve. Use useQuery instead. |
| CSS variable text colors inside the sidebar | Sidebar bg is hardcoded dark; CSS vars flip in light mode. Use text-white explicitly inside sidebar. |
| Deploying without stopping the server first | "text file busy" kernel error. Always systemctl stop before cp. |
Building without DATABASE_URL |
sqlx compile-time macros fail. DATABASE_URL is in /home/guru/.cargo/env. |
DB migrations without inserting into _sqlx_migrations |
Server crashes on start. Must insert SHA-384 checksum manually. |
| WiX MSI builds on Linux | WiX requires msi.dll. MSI must be built on Pluto (Windows). |
| Manual builds via SSH | All builds go through webhook-handler.py. Never SSH and run cargo build + artifact copy manually. |
| TOML/config for agent endpoint or site_id | Server URL compiled into binary, site_id baked into MSI. No runtime config files for these values. |
path.find('\\') in #[cfg(windows)] files |
Compiles on Linux silently, fails on Pluto MSVC with unterminated char literal. Use '\\\\'. |
STATUS_BADGE_CLASSES Record const |
Vite/Rollup may optimize away the lookup. Use explicit getStatusBadgeClass() if/else function. |
| SSH heredoc for TypeScript edits | Shell strips double-quote characters. Edit locally in submodule, push to Gitea, pull on server. |
Restart-Service GuruRMMAgent -Force in command scripts |
Kills agent before it can report result. Commands stay forever running. Use scheduled task with delay instead. |
sudo -u guru git in systemd build context |
git rejects repo as dubious ownership when running as root on guru-owned repo. Use safe.directory config or sudo -u guru git. |
| Self-updating running bash script | bash reads line-by-line from disk; replacing mid-execution silently skips remaining blocks. |
+1.77 legacy builds without --ignore-rust-version |
Fail MSRV check after adding rust-version to Cargo.toml. Add --ignore-rust-version to legacy build lines only. |
StrictHostKeyChecking=no for Pluto SSH |
Replaced with pinned known-hosts at /opt/gururmm/pluto_known_hosts. MITM would compromise build artifacts. |
| CRLF line endings in migration files | sqlx SHA-384 checksum mismatch causes server crash on start. .gitattributes + core.autocrlf=false + pre-commit hook prevents this. |
| Dead WebSocket write half | WS write fails, send task dies, receive loop keeps agent in ConnectedAgents with dead write half. Commands silently fail. Fix: tokio::select! monitoring both tasks. |
Good patterns:
- Platform parity rule — any agent feature goes on Windows + Linux + macOS in the same commit. If a real implementation isn't feasible, add a working stub +
// TODO(platform): <os> — <reason>. No silent no-ops. - Per-platform last-built-commit tracking — Linux builds succeed and record progress independently of Windows builds.
- Holistic feature development — every feature ships backend + API + dashboard UI + docs together. Backend-only features are rejected.
- sqlx offline mode — compile-time query validation requires DB reachable or offline cache present.
RuntimeDirectory=gururmmin systemd unit — systemd-native way to give agent writable/run/gururmm/for IPC socket.- Registry-first path resolution — read
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GuruRMMfor install dir, fall back to service PathName, then hardcoded default. interrupt_running_commands()at reconnect — flips allstatus='running'commands for reconnecting agent tostatus='interrupted'.
Build & Deploy
CRITICAL: Never trigger builds manually via SSH. All builds go through the webhook pipeline.
Gitea push to main
-> webhook-handler.py (172.16.3.30:9000, parallel threads per platform)
-> build-shared.sh (auto-version bump, git sync — runs once)
-> build-linux.sh (cargo build on .30; log: /var/log/gururmm-build-linux.log)
-> build-windows.sh (SSH -> Pluto 172.16.3.36 via pinned known-hosts
cargo build --release x64 MSVC + i686 MSVC
+1.77 legacy builds with --ignore-rust-version
WiX MSI build for site-specific base
sign-windows.sh (jsign + Azure Trusted Signing)
SCP artifacts back; log: /var/log/gururmm-build-windows.log)
-> build-mac.sh (stub — no build machine configured yet)
-> artifacts -> /var/www/gururmm/downloads/ with sha256 + -latest symlinks
-> per-platform last-built-commit files updated
-> systemctl restart gururmm-agent (local agent on .30)
Auto-version: build-shared.sh diffs agent/, server/, dashboard/ against last built SHA. For each changed component, bumps patch version in Cargo.toml or package.json, commits [ci-version-bump], pushes. Webhook skips builds where all commits are version bumps.
Server code changes — separate manual step, NOT in agent pipeline:
sudo /opt/gururmm/build-server.sh
Dashboard deploy — also separate:
cd /home/guru/gururmm/dashboard && sudo -u guru npm run build
sudo rsync -av --delete /home/guru/gururmm/dashboard/dist/ /var/www/gururmm/dashboard/
DB migrations — manual; must insert SHA-384 checksum into _sqlx_migrations or server crashes on start.
Pluto (172.16.3.36):
- Windows Server 2019 VM on Jupiter (Unraid)
- SSH:
ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/opt/gururmm/pluto_known_hosts Administrator@172.16.3.36 - Rust stable 1.95.0 + 1.77 pinned for legacy builds
- VS Build Tools (MSVC), sccache at
C:\sccache, WiX v4, Gitea clone atC:\gururmm\
Auto-update delivery:
- Server scans every 300s; dispatches update command on agent heartbeat
- Gated on effective policy
auto_update(default on when policy is null) - Agent: downloads to PrivateTmp, verifies SHA-256, replaces binary, restarts service
- Force-trigger:
POST /api/agents/:id/update
Active State
Fleet (as of 2026-05-24, live API verified):
- 55 enrolled agents total; 37 online
- 40/55 on 0.6.38 (current). 15 laggards — all offline; will self-update on reconnect.
- Laggards by version: 6× v0.6.27, 4× v0.6.3, 2× v0.6.29, 1× v0.6.28, 1× v0.6.2, 1× v0.6.1 (Mikes-MacBook-Air.local — macOS, significant lag)
- "Saturn" agent not present in API as of 2026-05-24 — concern resolved or entry was removed.

Dashboard — complete and working: Agents management, Clients/Sites CRUD, Commands execution + terminal, Logs + AI analysis, Alerts, Metrics (CPU/RAM/disk/network, process drill-down modal), Auto-update triggering, Network state, Entra ID SSO (Entra only — Google planned per SPEC-008, not implemented), Policies Dashboard (all tabs), Registry editor, MSP360 backup status card.
Dashboard — incomplete (see UI_GAPS.md):
Temperature monitoring (BUG-001)— RESOLVED: agent-side collection is wired (LibreHardwareMonitor/WMI on Windows, /sys/class/thermal on Linux, sysinfo fallback). Roadmap BUG-001 text is stale.- Enrollment management UI (revoke keys, audit log, duplicate hostname warnings)
- Watchdog alerts UI — blocked on 2 missing server routes
- MSPBackups management UI — backend complete, no frontend
- Organizations management UI — multi-tenancy backend done, no frontend
- Tunnel session management (interactive terminal — backend skeleton, not production-ready)
Open Gitea issues:
- #15 — Pipeline tray build (publish tray binary to downloads)
- #16 — Windows IPC peer authz
- #17 — logind console user resolution
- #18 — macOS tray
- #19 — subscriber broadcast
Security backlog (HIGH):
credentials/:id/reveal— horizontal privilege escalation (no ownership scope check)internal_err()— ~130 call sites returning raw DB errors to callers
Key Architecture Decisions (LOCKED)
These decisions are locked. Do not reverse without explicit user approval.
- Per-agent enrollment keys — MSI contains server URL + site_id only. Agent calls
POST /api/enrollon first run; server issues unique per-agent key stored hashed. Enables revocation, clone detection, audit trail. - Site-specific MSI generation — Universal base MSI from CI; dashboard endpoint generates site-specific MSI with site_id baked in via WiX property →
HKLM\SOFTWARE\GuruRMM\SiteId. - No TOML/config for endpoints — Server URL compiled into binary. No runtime config files for server URL or site_id.
- Policy inheritance chain — global → site → client → agent. Server computes merged effective policy and pushes via
ConfigUpdateWebSocket message. - Platform parity rule — Any agent feature ships on Windows, Linux, and macOS in the same change. Stub + TODO required if a real implementation is not yet feasible.
- Watchdog as separate process — Main agent cannot reliably restart itself after a crash.
- Build pipeline is the only path to production — Enforces signing, checksum generation, consistent artifact layout.
- Multi-tenancy identity model (ADR-001) — Dev team with partner impersonation. Three levels: Dev → Partner → Client. Computer Guru is partner #1.
- Holistic feature development (DESIGN.md) — Every feature requires backend + API + dashboard UI + documentation. Backend-only features are rejected.
- AI-optional operation — GuruRMM must be fully functional without AI. AI features are enhancements, not requirements.

Compilation Notes
- 2026-05-26 recompile: Added the Capabilities / Feature Set section, synthesized from authoritative artifacts at live
main(cd27a59) — API route modules, agent source tree, 46 migrations, roadmap, and the feat/perf commit log — NOT from session logs. This was prompted by the prior seeding missing theuser_sessioncommand context entirely (it had only ever stated "runs as LocalSystem"). Corrected: command execution contexts, temperature monitoring (BUG-001 is resolved, not pending), Entra-only SSO, and added user-inventory/discovery/VM-detection/safe-rollout surfaces. Changelogs are an unreliable capability source here — committed changelogs stop at agent v0.6.22 while the fleet runs 0.6.39+; migrations + commit log are authoritative. - Tunnel subsystem (verified against live main): agent side substantially built; server side is a dead-code skeleton (not declared in
