## Chapter 2 – Prerequisites
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before embarking on your journey to build an AI-powered CTO team, ensure you have the necessary components in place. This chapter presents all requirements in an easy-to-follow checklist format.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Required Components
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
- Accessible via web browser
|
||||||
|
- Sufficient resources (minimum 2GB RAM, 2 CPU cores)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Docker** installed on homelab server(s)
|
||||||
|
- Docker Engine 20.10+ or Docker Desktop
|
||||||
|
- Docker Compose (optional but recommended)
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Service Access Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The beauty of this system is that it works with your **existing infrastructure**. You don't need to migrate services or change your setup. The agents simply integrate with what you already have running.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Uptime Kuma** - Monitoring Integration
|
||||||
|
- Access to Uptime Kuma API
|
||||||

||||||
|
- ✅ **UniFi Controller** - Network Management
|
||||||
|
- UniFi Controller running (Cloud Key, UDM, or self-hosted)
|
||||||
|
- Admin credentials or API access
|
||||||
|
- Controller URL/IP address
|
||||||
|
- UniFi site ID (if managing multiple sites)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **NAS Systems** (e.g., ZimaCube, TrueNAS, Synology)
|
||||||
|
- SSH access enabled
|
||||||
|
- Monitoring tools available (smartctl for disk health)
|
||||||
|
- Network access to NAS interface
|
||||||
|
- Read access to system logs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- ✅ **Plex Media Server**
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
- Docker container name (if containerized)

|
||||||
|
- Comfort with command-line interfaces
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
Before proceeding to Chapter 3, verify you have completed:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
[ ] n8n is installed and accessible
|
||||||
|
[ ] Docker is running on at least one server
|
||||||
|
[ ] LLM API key is obtained and tested
|
||||||
|
[ ] Telegram bot is created and token is saved
|
||||||
|
[ ] Network access to all services is confirmed
|
||||||
|
[ ] SSH keys are configured (if using SSH-based integrations)
|
||||||
|
[ ] You have admin/root access to your infrastructure
|
||||||
|
[ ] Backup systems are in place (never automate without backups!)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Important Security Note**: This system will have significant access to your infrastructure. Treat API keys, bot tokens, and SSH credentials with the same care you would give to root passwords. Use environment variables, secrets managers, or n8n's built-in credential system. Never commit credentials to version control.

## Chapter 4 – Agent Evolution (Stages)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The journey from a simple monitoring script to an intelligent, self-healing infrastructure guardian follows a carefully designed progression. Each stage builds upon the previous one, adding new capabilities while maintaining safety and control. This chapter details five evolutionary stages, complete with system prompts, required tools, and real-world examples.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Stage 1: Basic Monitor
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Capability Overview**: Check uptime via HTTP health checks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At this foundational stage, your agent performs basic service availability monitoring. It can check if web services respond and report their HTTP status codes. This is similar to traditional uptime monitoring tools but with natural language interaction.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Can Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Monitor website and API availability via HTTP/HTTPS
|
||||||
|
- Return HTTP status codes and basic response information
|
||||||
|
- Report simple UP/DOWN status
|
||||||
|
- Detect connection timeouts and network issues
|
||||||
|
- Check multiple services sequentially
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Cannot Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Diagnose WHY a service is down
|
||||||
|
- Access system logs or container information
|
||||||
|
- Make any changes to infrastructure
|
||||||
|
- Understand complex failure patterns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Required Tools**:
|
||||||
|
- HTTP Request node (configured as a tool)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**System Prompt Example**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
You are a Level 1 Homelab Monitoring Agent. Your role is to check service availability and report status.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CAPABILITIES:
|
||||||
|
- Check HTTP/HTTPS endpoints
|
||||||
|
- Report status codes and response times
|
||||||
|
- Identify if services are UP (200-299) or DOWN (any other status/error)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
LIMITATIONS:
|
||||||
|
- You cannot diagnose issues beyond HTTP responses
|
||||||
|
- You cannot make any changes to systems
|
||||||
|
- You cannot access logs or system internals
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OUTPUT FORMAT:
|
||||||
|
For each service checked, report:
|
||||||
|
- Service name/URL
|
||||||
|
- Status (UP/DOWN)
|
||||||
|
- HTTP status code (if available)
|
||||||
|
- Response time
|
||||||
|
- Any error messages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Always be clear and concise. If a service is down, state that further investigation is needed.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Example Interaction**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
User: "Check if my Plex server at http://192.168.1.100:32400 is online"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Agent: "Checking Plex server..."
|
||||||
|
[Executes HTTP Request tool]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Agent: "✅ Status Report:
|
||||||
|
Service: Plex Media Server
|
||||||
|
URL: http://192.168.1.100:32400
|
||||||
|
Status: UP
|
||||||
|
HTTP Code: 200 OK
|
||||||
|
Response Time: 145ms
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your Plex server is online and responding normally."
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**When to Use Stage 1**:
|
||||||
|
- Initial setup and testing
|
||||||
|
- Low-risk monitoring scenarios
|
||||||
|
- Services you want visibility into but not automated intervention
|
||||||
|
- Learning how the agent system works
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Stage 2: Smart Investigator
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Capability Overview**: Use Docker commands and log analysis to diagnose issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Stage 2 agents can go beyond surface-level checks. When a service is down, they investigate the underlying cause by examining Docker container status and reading logs. This is where your agent begins to act like a junior system administrator.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Can Do**:
|
||||||
|
- List all Docker containers and their states
|
||||||
|
- Check if specific containers are running, stopped, or crashed
|
||||||
|
- Read container logs (last 50-100 lines)
|
||||||
|
- Identify common error patterns in logs
|
||||||
|
- Correlate service failures with container issues
|
||||||
|
- Provide diagnostic insights about root causes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Cannot Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Restart containers or make changes
|
||||||
|
- Access host system logs (only container logs)
|
||||||
|
- Modify configurations
|
||||||
|
- Interact with services via SSH
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Required Tools**:
|
||||||
|
- HTTP Request node (for service checks)
|
||||||
|
- Execute Command node (for Docker CLI access)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Configure Execute Command Node**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Node Settings:
|
||||||
|
- Command: {{ $json.command }} (receives command from agent)
|
||||||
|
- Execute Once: Yes
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**System Prompt Example**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
You are a Level 2 Homelab Diagnostic Agent with investigation capabilities.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CAPABILITIES:
|
||||||
|
- Check HTTP/HTTPS service availability
|
||||||
|
- List Docker containers (docker ps -a)
|
||||||
|
- Check container status (docker inspect <container>)
|
||||||
|
- Read container logs (docker logs --tail 100 <container>)
|
||||||
|
- Analyze log patterns for common errors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS:
|
||||||
|
1. When a service is DOWN, first check if it's containerized
|
||||||
|
2. Use 'docker ps -a' to find the container
|
||||||
|
3. Check container state (running, exited, restarting)
|
||||||
|
4. If stopped/crashed, read logs with 'docker logs --tail 100 <name>'
|
||||||
|
5. Analyze logs for:
|
||||||
|
- Error messages
|
||||||
|
- Out of memory conditions
|
||||||
|
- Port conflicts
|
||||||
|
- Permission issues
|
||||||
|
- Application crashes
|
||||||
|
6. Provide a diagnostic summary
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OUTPUT FORMAT:
|
||||||
|
Service: [name]
|
||||||
|
Status: [UP/DOWN]
|
||||||
|
Container Status: [running/stopped/crashed]
|
||||||
|
Root Cause: [your diagnosis based on logs]
|
||||||
|
Relevant Logs: [key error messages]
|
||||||
|
Recommended Action: [what should be done]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
LIMITATIONS:
|
||||||
|
- You can diagnose but NOT fix issues
|
||||||
|
- You cannot restart containers
|
||||||
|
- You cannot modify any configurations
|
||||||
|
- Always recommend actions but never execute them
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Be thorough but concise. Focus on actionable insights.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Docker Commands Available to Agent**:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# List all containers
|
||||||
|
docker ps -a
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Check specific container
|
||||||
|
docker ps -a --filter name=website
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Get container logs
|
||||||
|
docker logs --tail 100 website
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Inspect container details
|
||||||
|
docker inspect website
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Check container resource usage
|
||||||
|
docker stats --no-stream website
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Example Interaction**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
User: "My website at http://192.168.1.100:8090 is down. What's wrong?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Agent: "Investigating the issue..."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Checks HTTP - fails]
|
||||||
|
[Executes: docker ps -a --filter name=website]
|
||||||
|
[Finds container is stopped]
|
||||||
|
[Executes: docker logs --tail 100 website]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Agent: "🔍 Diagnostic Report:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Service: Website (http://192.168.1.100:8090)
|
||||||
|
Status: DOWN
|
||||||
|
Container Status: Exited (stopped)
|
||||||
|
Exit Code: 137 (Out of Memory)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ROOT CAUSE:
|
||||||
|
The container was killed by the system due to memory exhaustion.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RELEVANT LOGS:
|
||||||
|
2024-01-15 14:23:45 nginx: worker process out of memory
|
||||||
|
2024-01-15 14:23:46 Killed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
|
||||||
|
Restart the container with increased memory limits:
|
||||||
|
docker run -d --name website --memory=512m -p 8090:80 nginx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will prevent future OOM kills."
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**When to Use Stage 2**:
|
||||||
|
- Production monitoring where you want diagnostics but not automated fixes
|
||||||
|
- Learning about common failure patterns in your infrastructure
|
||||||
|
- Environments where you prefer manual intervention after diagnosis
|
||||||
|
- Building confidence in the agent's analytical capabilities
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
### Stage 3: The Fixer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Capability Overview**: Automatically restart containers when they fail
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Stage 3 introduces the agent's first automated remediation capability. It can now detect failures and execute fixes autonomously. This is powerful but requires careful consideration of safety boundaries.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Can Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Everything from Stages 1 and 2 (monitor and diagnose)
|
||||||
|
- Restart stopped or crashed Docker containers
|
||||||
|
- Verify that restarts were successful
|
||||||
|
- Report actions taken with before/after status
|
||||||
|
- Handle simple recovery scenarios automatically
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Cannot Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Modify container configurations
|
||||||
|
- Create or destroy containers
|
||||||
|
- Change port mappings or volume mounts
|
||||||
|
- Access resources outside Docker
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Required Tools**:
|
||||||
|
- HTTP Request node
|
||||||
|
- Execute Command node (with Docker restart permissions)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**System Prompt Example**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
You are a Level 3 Homelab Automation Agent with limited remediation capabilities.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CAPABILITIES:
|
||||||
|
- All diagnostic capabilities from Level 2
|
||||||
|
- Container restart capability
|
||||||
|
- Post-restart verification
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DECISION FRAMEWORK:
|
||||||
|
When you detect a DOWN service:
|
||||||
|
1. Investigate using diagnostic tools
|
||||||
|
2. If root cause is container stopped/crashed AND
|
||||||
|
- Container has no dependencies OR
|
||||||
|
- It's a simple restart scenario
|
||||||
|
3. Attempt automatic restart
|
||||||
|
4. Verify service recovery
|
||||||
|
5. Report complete incident details
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
SAFE-TO-RESTART CRITERIA:
|
||||||
|
✅ Container exited cleanly (exit code 0)
|
||||||
|
✅ Container crashed (exit codes 1, 137, 139)
|
||||||
|
✅ Service is stateless or has persistent data volumes
|
||||||
|
✅ No configuration changes needed
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DO NOT RESTART IF:
|
||||||
|
❌ Container is in restart loop (>3 restarts in 5 minutes)
|
||||||
|
❌ Logs show configuration errors
|
||||||
|
❌ Database or data corruption indicated
|
||||||
|
❌ Resource exhaustion that restart won't fix
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RESTART COMMAND:
|
||||||
|
docker restart <container_name>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
POST-RESTART VERIFICATION:
|
||||||
|
1. Wait 10 seconds
|
||||||
|
2. Check container status: docker ps --filter name=<container>
|
||||||
|
3. Verify HTTP endpoint if applicable
|
||||||
|
4. Confirm service is UP
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OUTPUT FORMAT:
|
||||||
|
🔧 Incident Report:
|
||||||
|
Service: [name]
|
||||||
|
Issue Detected: [timestamp]
|
||||||
|
Root Cause: [diagnosis]
|
||||||
|
Action Taken: Restarted container '<name>'
|
||||||
|
Verification: [service status after restart]
|
||||||
|
Resolution Time: [duration]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Always log every action taken for audit purposes.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Example Interaction**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
[Automatic execution - scheduled every 5 minutes]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Agent: "🔧 Automated Fix Executed

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Resolution Time: 18 seconds
|
||||||
|
Service Status: ✅ RESTORED"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Safety Considerations for Stage 3**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
⚠️ **Critical Warning**: Stage 3 agents make automated changes to your infrastructure. Before deploying:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Test Thoroughly**: Run for weeks in a test environment
|
||||||
|
2. **Start with Non-Critical Services**: Don't enable on production databases initially
|
||||||
|
3. **Monitor the Monitor**: Set up alerting for agent actions
|
||||||
|
4. **Have Rollback Plans**: Know how to disable the agent quickly
|
||||||
|
5. **Implement Rate Limiting**: Prevent restart loops
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Recommended Configuration**:
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"max_restarts_per_hour": 3,
|
||||||
|
"cooldown_between_restarts": 300,
|
||||||
|
"blacklisted_containers": ["database", "postgres", "mysql"],
|
||||||
|
"notification_channel": "telegram",
|
||||||
|
"log_all_actions": true
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**When to Use Stage 3**:
|
||||||
|
- Mature monitoring setups where failure patterns are well understood
|
||||||
|
- Stateless services that can safely restart
|
||||||
|
- Non-production environments initially
|
||||||
|
- Services with good health checks and fast startup times
|
||||||
|
- When you're comfortable with autonomous remediation
|
||||||

### Stage 4: Creative Problem Solver
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Capability Overview**: Resolve complex issues like port conflicts, resource exhaustion, and configuration problems
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Stage 4 agents move beyond simple restarts. They can identify and resolve complex infrastructure issues that would typically require experienced system administrator intervention.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Can Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Identify port conflicts and suggest remapping
|
||||||
|
- Detect memory/disk space issues and recommend solutions
|
||||||
|
- Analyze resource consumption patterns
|
||||||
|
- Suggest container optimization (resource limits, restart policies)
|
||||||
|
- Handle multi-container dependency issues
|
||||||
|
- Propose configuration changes to prevent recurring issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Cannot Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Directly modify system configurations (proposes changes only)
|
||||||
|
- Make changes without approval (transitions to Stage 5 requirement)
|
||||||
|
- Access resources outside the Docker/local system scope
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Required Tools**:
|
||||||
|
- HTTP Request node
|
||||||
|
- Execute Command node (Docker + system commands)
|
||||||
|
- Code node (for complex logic and calculations)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**System Prompt Example**:
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
- free -m (memory usage)
|
||||||
|
- systemctl status docker
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
PROBLEM-SOLVING SCENARIOS:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. PORT CONFLICTS:
|
||||||
|
Detection: "bind: address already in use"
|
||||||
|
Solution: Identify conflicting process, suggest alternative port
|
||||||
|
Example: "Port 8080 used by process X. Recommend using 8081"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. MEMORY EXHAUSTION:
|
||||||
|
Detection: Exit code 137, OOM in logs
|
||||||
|
Solution: Calculate appropriate memory limits
|
||||||
|
Example: "Container using 450MB, killed at 512MB. Recommend --memory=1g"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. DISK SPACE ISSUES:
|
||||||
|
Detection: "no space left on device"
|
||||||
|
Solution: Identify large log files, old containers, unused volumes
|
||||||
|
Example: "Docker using 45GB. Recommend: docker system prune -a"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. DEPENDENCY FAILURES:
|
||||||
|
Detection: Service depends on another that's down
|
||||||
|
Solution: Identify dependency chain, restart in correct order
|
||||||
|
Example: "App requires DB. DB is down. Restarting DB first."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. CONFIGURATION ERRORS:
|
||||||
|
Detection: Specific error patterns in logs
|
||||||
|
Solution: Identify misconfiguration, suggest fix
|
||||||
|
Example: "Missing environment variable DATABASE_URL. Should be: DATABASE_URL=postgresql://..."

||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Agent: "🧠 Advanced Diagnostic Report:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Service: New Website Container
|
||||||
|
Issue Category: Port Conflict
|
||||||
|
Root Cause: Port 8090 is already bound to existing 'website' container
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Current State:
|
||||||
|
- Port 8090: Used by container 'website' (nginx)
|
||||||
|
- Attempted: docker run -p 8090:80 new-website
|
||||||
|
- Result: Error 'port is already allocated'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Proposed Solution:
|
||||||
|
Option 1: Use different port for new container
|
||||||
|
docker run -d --name new-website -p 8091:80 nginx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Option 2: Stop existing container first
|
||||||
|
docker stop website && docker run -d --name new-website -p 8090:80 nginx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Current Resource Availability:
|
||||||
|
Available ports: 8091-8099, 9000-9100
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Expected Outcome (Option 1):
|
||||||
|
- Both containers run simultaneously
|
||||||
|
- Old site: http://192.168.1.100:8090
|
||||||
|
- New site: http://192.168.1.100:8091
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Risk Assessment: LOW (no existing services disrupted)
|
||||||
|
Rollback Plan: docker stop new-website && docker rm new-website
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Recommendation: AUTO-FIX with Option 1 (safe, non-disruptive)"

**Example Interaction - Memory Optimization**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Agent: "🧠 Advanced Diagnostic Report:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Service: Plex Media Server
|
||||||
|
Issue Category: Memory Exhaustion (Recurring)
|
||||||
|
Root Cause: Container repeatedly killed by OOM (Out of Memory)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Current State:
|
||||||
|
- Container restarts: 7 times in past 24 hours
|
||||||
|
- Exit code: 137 (OOM Kill)
|
||||||
|
- Current memory limit: 512MB
|
||||||
|
- Peak usage before kill: 498MB
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Resource Analysis:
|
||||||
|
[Executed: docker stats --no-stream plex]
|
||||||
|
- Average usage during transcoding: 850MB
|
||||||
|
- Baseline (idle): 280MB
|
||||||
|
- Spike during 4K transcode: 1.2GB
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Proposed Solution:
|
||||||
|
Recreate container with adequate memory allocation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
docker stop plex
|
||||||
|
docker rm plex
|
||||||
|
docker run -d \
|
||||||

||||||
|
-p 32400:32400 \
|
||||||
|
-v /media/plex:/data \
|
||||||
|
plexinc/pms-docker
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configuration Explained:
|
||||||
|
- --memory=2g: Hard limit (prevents OOM)
|
||||||
|
- --memory-reservation=1g: Soft limit (performance optimization)
|
||||||
|
- Allows transcoding without crashes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Expected Outcome:
|
||||||
|
- No more OOM kills
|
||||||
|
- Stable transcoding performance
|
||||||
|
- Container uptime >30 days
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Risk Assessment: MEDIUM (requires container recreation)
|
||||||
|
Rollback Plan:
|
||||||
|
docker stop plex
|
||||||
|
[restore from backup configuration]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Recommendation: NEEDS-APPROVAL
|
||||||
|
This requires downtime and container recreation. Approve to proceed?"

|
**When to Use Stage 4**:
|
||||||
|
- Complex homelab setups with interdependent services
|
||||||
|
- Environments experiencing recurring issues
|
||||||
|
- When you want intelligent optimization suggestions
|
||||||
|
- Production systems where you value expert-level diagnostics
|
||||||
|
- Before fully trusting automated fixes (Stage 5)

### Stage 5: Human-in-the-Loop
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Capability Overview**: All previous capabilities but ALWAYS requests approval before executing changes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Stage 5 represents the **recommended production configuration** for most users. The agent has full diagnostic and remediation capabilities but respects human authority by requesting approval before making any changes. This balances automation benefits with human oversight.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Philosophy**: "The agent is the expert consultant; you are the executive decision-maker."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Can Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Everything from Stages 1-4 (monitor, diagnose, solve complex problems)
|
||||||
|
- Present complete fix proposals with rationale
|
||||||
|
- Request approval via Telegram before executing
|
||||||
|
- Execute only upon explicit confirmation
|
||||||
|
- Report results after execution
|
||||||
|
- Learn from approval/rejection patterns (via system prompt refinement)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**What It Cannot Do**:
|
||||||
|
- Make changes without explicit approval
|
||||||
|
- Bypass the approval process for "urgent" issues (safety feature)
|
||||||
|
- Make decisions that weren't approved
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Required Tools**:
|
||||||
|
- HTTP Request node
|
||||||
|
- Execute Command node
|
||||||
|
- Telegram node (for approval requests)
|
||||||
|
- IF/Switch nodes (for approval logic)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**System Prompt Example**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
You are a Level 5 Homelab CTO Agent - the highest level of capability with human oversight.

## Chapter 8 – AI Team
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Building a complete AI-powered IT department requires more than individual agents—it demands a thoughtfully designed team with specialized roles, clear responsibilities, and cosmic wisdom. This chapter presents the **n8n AI Team**, where each agent embodies the qualities of Hindu deities, translating ancient archetypes into modern infrastructure management.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Section 8.1: Philosophy - From Mythology to Technology
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In Hindu cosmology, the universe operates through divine forces, each with specific roles in creation, preservation, and transformation. This mirrors an IT department where different roles maintain, build, and evolve infrastructure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The **n8n AI Team** maps these cosmic principles to technical responsibilities:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Creation** (Brahma) → Building infrastructure, networks, storage
|
||||||
|
- **Preservation** (Vishnu) → Maintaining stability, uptime, monitoring
|
||||||
|
- **Transformation** (Shiva) → Deploying changes, DevOps, continuous improvement
|
||||||
|
- **Knowledge** (Saraswati) → Documentation, databases, learning
|
||||||
|
- **Problem-Solving** (Ganesha) → Removing obstacles, security, access control
|
||||||
|
- **Service** (Hanuman) → Support, dedication, user assistance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This isn't mere metaphor—each deity's characteristics inform the agent's decision-making framework, priorities, and personality.
|
||||||

|
**Cosmic Symbolism**: Vishnu maintains cosmic order, appearing as avatars when balance is threatened. He preserves dharma (righteousness) and ensures the universe's continued existence.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**IT Translation**: The CTO agent oversees all operations, maintains system stability, and coordinates the entire team. When critical issues arise, Vishnu intervenes directly.

|
||||||
|
Saraswati: "📚 Database Performance Investigation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
INITIAL CHECK:
|
||||||
|
Database: postgres-main
|
||||||
|
Status: Online ✅
|
||||||
|
Connections: 45/100 (healthy)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
SLOW QUERY DETECTION:
|
||||||
|
Analyzing recent queries...
|
||||||
|
Found: 3 queries >2 seconds in last hour
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
SLOWEST QUERY:
|
||||||
|
SELECT * FROM articles
|
||||||
|
JOIN users ON articles.author_id = users.id
|
||||||
|
JOIN comments ON comments.article_id = articles.id
|
||||||
|
WHERE published = true
|
||||||
|
ORDER BY created_at DESC
|
||||||
|
Average execution: 3.8 seconds 🐌
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DIAGNOSIS:
|
||||||
|
1. Missing index on comments.article_id
|
||||||
|
2. SELECT * fetching unnecessary columns
|
||||||
|
3. Lack of limit clause (fetching all results)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RECOMMENDED OPTIMIZATIONS:
|
||||||
|
```sql
|
||||||
|
-- Add missing index
|
||||||
|
CREATE INDEX idx_comments_article_id ON comments(article_id);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
-- Optimized query
|
||||||
|
SELECT articles.id, articles.title, articles.created_at,
|
||||||
|
users.username,
|
||||||
|
COUNT(comments.id) as comment_count
|
||||||
|
FROM articles
|
||||||
|
JOIN users ON articles.author_id = users.id
|
||||||
|
LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.article_id = articles.id
|
||||||
|
WHERE published = true
|
||||||
|
GROUP BY articles.id, users.id
|
||||||
|
ORDER BY articles.created_at DESC
|
||||||
|
LIMIT 50;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
EXPECTED IMPROVEMENT:
|
||||||
|
Execution time: 3.8s → <0.1s (38x faster)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
APPROVAL REQUEST:
|
||||||
|
May I create the missing index? This is a non-destructive optimization.
|
||||||
|
The index creation will take ~10 seconds and improve query performance significantly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please reply: YES to proceed, NO to decline, EXPLAIN for technical details."

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
INCIDENT SUMMARY:
|
||||||
|
Time: 2024-01-15 14:23 UTC
|
||||||
|
Type: SSH Brute Force Attempt
|
||||||
|
Source: 45.123.67.89 (China)
|
||||||
|
Target: Your server SSH port 22
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DETAILS:
|
||||||
|
- Failed login attempts: 247 in last 15 minutes
|
||||||
|
- Usernames tried: root, admin, user, ubuntu, pi
|
||||||
|
- Pattern: Automated brute force attack
|
||||||
|
- Status: All attempts FAILED (correct - key auth only)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
CURRENT DEFENSES:
|
||||||
|
✅ SSH key authentication (no password auth)
|
||||||
|
✅ Fail2ban active (IP will auto-ban after 5 failures)
|
||||||
|
✅ Non-standard SSH port (22 → should migrate to 2222)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
AUTO-ACTION TAKEN:
|
||||||
|
Fail2ban has banned 45.123.67.89 for 24 hours
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RISK ASSESSMENT:
|
||||||
|
- Current Risk: LOW (key auth prevents compromise)
|
||||||
|
- Attack Type: Automated script (common internet noise)
|
||||||
|
- Recommendation: Not urgent, but suggest improvements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
RECOMMENDED ENHANCEMENTS:
|
||||||
|
1. Change SSH port from 22 to custom (e.g., 2222)
|
||||||
|
- Reduces automated attacks by ~95%
|
||||||
|
- Command: Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, change Port 22 to Port 2222
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Enable GeoIP blocking for SSH (allow only your country)
|
||||||
|
- Further reduces attack surface
|
||||||
|
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ESCALATION:
|
||||||
|
Always escalate when:

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Example Hanuman Interaction**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
User (via Telegram): "Help! I can't access Plex from my phone"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hanuman: "👋 Hi! I'm Hanuman, your homelab assistant. Let me help with Plex access.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
QUICK DIAGNOSIS:
|
||||||
|
Checking Plex status...
|
||||||
|
✅ Plex server is ONLINE (http://plex:32400)
|
||||||
|
✅ Container running normally
|
||||||
|
✅ No errors in recent logs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS:
|
||||||
|
Let me guide you through common fixes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1️⃣ Are you on the same Wi-Fi network as your homelab?
|
||||||
|
- If YES: Should work, proceed to step 2
|
||||||
|
- If NO: You need remote access enabled (I can help with this)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2️⃣ Try opening Plex in browser on phone:
|
||||||
|
http://YOUR-LOCAL-IP:32400/web
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3️⃣ App troubleshooting:
|
||||||
|
- Close Plex app completely
|
||||||
|
- Reopen app
|
||||||
|
- Check if server appears in list
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Can you try these and let me know which step you're stuck on?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If still not working, I'll escalate to Brahma (network specialist) to check:
|
||||||
|
- Wi-Fi connectivity
|
||||||
|
- Port accessibility
|
||||||
|
- Firewall rules
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
How can I assist further?"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
User: "I tried but still can't see the server in my app"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hanuman: "Thanks for confirming. This sounds like a network connectivity issue.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
📊 ESCALATING TO SPECIALIST:
|
||||||
|
Routing to Brahma (Network Administrator) for advanced diagnosis.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Brahma will check:
|
||||||
|
- Phone's network connection
|
||||||
|
- Plex port 32400 accessibility
|
||||||
|
- mDNS/Bonjour discovery (how app finds server)
|
||||||
|
- Firewall rules
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Expected response time: 2-5 minutes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I'll keep you updated! 🙏

### Section 8.5: Benefits of the Team Approach
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Compared to Single Monolithic Agent**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Aspect | Single Agent | AI Team |
|
||||||
|
|--------|-------------|---------|
|
||||||
|
| Expertise | Generalist, shallow knowledge | Specialists with deep expertise |
|
||||||
|
| Prompt Size | Huge, unwieldy | Focused, maintainable |
|
||||||
|
| Decision Quality | Generic solutions | Domain-optimized solutions |
|
||||||
|
| Scalability | Degrades with complexity | Scales with specialization |
|
||||||
|
| Debugging | Hard to identify failure point | Clear responsibility boundaries |
|
||||||
|
| Learning | Broad but unfocused | Targeted improvement per role |
|
||||||
|
| Collaboration | N/A | Specialists consult and handoff |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Real-World Benefit Example**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Single Agent Approach*:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
User: "Network is slow"
|
||||||
|
Agent: "Checking... network seems fine. Maybe restart router?"
|
||||||
|
→ Generic, unhelpful response
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Team Approach*:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
User: "Network is slow"
|
||||||
|
Hanuman: Routes to Brahma (Network)
|
||||||
|
Brahma: Investigates → "UniFi AP in living room is experiencing 85% channel utilization"
|
||||||
|
Brahma: Routes to Vishnu → "Interference from neighbor's network"
|
||||||
|
Vishnu: Consults Brahma → "Recommend channel change from 6 to 11"
|
||||||
|
Brahma: Changes channel, verifies improvement
|
||||||
|
Hanuman: Updates user → "Fixed! Changed Wi-Fi channel due to interference. Speed should improve."
|
||||||
|
→ Expert diagnosis and solution
|
||||||
|
```

## Chapter 10 – Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Professional infrastructure management requires discipline, planning, and adherence to proven practices. This chapter distills wisdom from production deployments into actionable guidelines.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Section 10.1: Development Workflow
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Progressive Implementation**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Start Simple** (Week 1-2):
|
||||||
|
- Single service monitoring (test website)
|
||||||
|
- Manual trigger only
|
||||||
|
- Basic HTTP health checks
|
||||||
|
- No automation, just observation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Add Intelligence** (Week 3-4):
|
||||||
|
- Diagnostic capabilities (Docker logs)
|
||||||
|
- Structured JSON output
|
||||||
|
- Basic Telegram notifications
|
||||||
|
- Still manual execution
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. **Automate Carefully** (Week 5-6):
|
||||||
|
- Schedule trigger (every 30 minutes initially)
|
||||||
|
- Rate limiting and deduplication
|
||||||
|
- Human-in-the-loop approvals
|
||||||
|
- Comprehensive logging
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. **Expand Scope** (Week 7+):
|
||||||
|
- Additional services one at a time
|
||||||
|
- Specialized agents for different domains
|
||||||
|
- Agent collaboration
|
||||||
|
- Refinement based on experience
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Testing Hierarchy**:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
1. Local Development
|
||||||
|
↓ (Test thoroughly)
|
||||||
|
2. Staging/Test Services
|
||||||
|
↓ (Validate behavior)
|
||||||
|
3. Non-Critical Production
|
||||||
|
↓ (Monitor closely)
|
||||||
|
4. Critical Production
|
||||||
|
↓ (Only after proven reliable)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Never Skip Steps**. Each phase builds confidence and reveals edge cases.
|
||||||

### Section 10.2: Security Considerations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Principle of Least Privilege**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Agent Capability Levels:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Level 1 (Read-Only):
|
||||||
|
- HTTP GET requests
|
||||||
|
- Log viewing
|
||||||
|
- Status checks
|
||||||
|
✅ Safe for production immediately
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Level 2 (Safe Operations):
|
||||||
|
- Container restarts
|
||||||
|
- Cache clearing
|
||||||
|
- Log rotation
|
||||||
|
⚠️ Requires testing, generally safe
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Level 3 (Configuration Changes):
|
||||||
|
- Firewall rules
|
||||||
|
- Resource limits
|
||||||
|
- Port mappings
|
||||||
|
❌ Requires approval, staging testing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Level 4 (Data Operations):
|
||||||
|
- Database modifications
|
||||||
|
- Storage operations
|
||||||
|
- User management
|
||||||
|
🔴 FORBIDDEN for automation
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Credential Management**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
// ❌ WRONG - Hardcoded secrets
|
||||||
|
const apiKey = "sk-abc123xyz789";
|
||||||
|
const dbPassword = "MyPassword123";
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// ✅ RIGHT - Environment variables
|
||||||
|
const apiKey = $env.OPENAI_API_KEY;
|
||||||
|
const dbPassword = $env.DATABASE_PASSWORD;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// ✅ RIGHT - n8n Credentials
|
||||||
|
// Use Credentials feature for:
|
||||||
|
- API keys
|
||||||
|
- Passwords
|
||||||
|
- SSH keys
|
||||||
|
- Tokens
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Access Control**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Network Segmentation:
|
||||||
|
- n8n server in management VLAN
|
||||||
|
- Firewall rules limiting outbound access
|
||||||
|
- VPN required for remote n8n access
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Authentication:
|
||||||
|
- Enable n8n basic auth or LDAP
|
||||||
|
- Strong passwords (20+ characters)
|
||||||
|
- 2FA if available
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
API Security:
|
||||||
|
- Use API tokens instead of passwords
|
||||||
|
- Rotate credentials quarterly
|
||||||
|
- Audit credential access
|
||||||
|
- Revoke unused credentials
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Audit Logging**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
// Log every agent action
|
||||||
|
const logEntry = {
|
||||||
|
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
|
||||||
|
agent: "vishnu-cto",
|
||||||
|
action: "container_restart",
|
||||||
|
target: "plex",
|
||||||
|
authorized_by: "human_approval",
|
||||||
|
approval_id: "APR-20240115-001",
|
||||||
|
result: "success",
|
||||||
|
user_id: $json.telegram_user_id
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Store logs:
|
||||||
|
// - Local file (/var/log/n8n-agent-actions.log)
|
||||||
|
// - Database (for queryability)
|
||||||
|
// - SIEM system (for enterprise environments)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Security Monitoring**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Monitor the Monitors:
|
||||||
|
- Who accessed n8n?
|
||||||
|
- What workflows were modified?
|
||||||
|
- What credentials were used?
|
||||||
|
- What agents took actions?
|
||||||
|
- Were approvals properly obtained?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Alert on:
|
||||||
|
- Failed authentication attempts >5
|
||||||
|
- Workflow changes outside business hours
|
||||||
|
- Credentials accessed by unusual users
|
||||||
|
- Agent actions without approval
|
||||||
|
- New workflows created
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Section 10.3: Performance Optimization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Polling Frequency**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Service Type | Recommended Interval
|
||||||
|
---------------------|---------------------
|
||||||
|
Critical (Database) | Every 2-5 minutes
|
||||||
|
Important (Web Apps) | Every 5-10 minutes
|
||||||
|
Standard (Media) | Every 10-15 minutes
|
||||||
|
Non-Critical (Dev) | Every 30-60 minutes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Avoid over-polling:
|
||||||
|
- Wastes API quota
|
||||||
|
- Increases costs (LLM API calls)
|
||||||
|
- Creates alert fatigue
|
||||||
|
- Adds server load
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Caching Strategy**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
// Cache service status to reduce redundant checks
|
||||||
|
const cache = $('WorkflowStaticData').first().json.cache || {};
|
||||||
|
const cacheKey = `status_${serviceName}`;
|
||||||
|
const cachedStatus = cache[cacheKey];
|
||||||
|
const now = Date.now();
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Use cache if fresh (< 5 minutes old)
|
||||||
|
if (cachedStatus && (now - cachedStatus.timestamp) < 5 * 60 * 1000) {
|
||||||
|
return { json: cachedStatus.data };
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Otherwise, fetch fresh data
|
||||||
|
const freshStatus = await checkService();
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// Update cache
|
||||||
|
cache[cacheKey] = {
|
||||||
|
timestamp: now,
|
||||||
|
data: freshStatus
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
return { json: freshStatus };
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Conditional Execution**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
// Only trigger notifications on state change
|
||||||
|
const previousState = $('WorkflowStaticData').first().json.last_status || {};
|
||||||
|
const currentState = $json.status;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
if (previousState.status === currentState.status) {
|
||||||
|
// No change, skip notification
|
||||||
|
return [];
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
// State changed, send notification
|
||||||
|
$('WorkflowStaticData').first().json.last_status = currentState;
|
||||||
|
return { json: { notify: true, state_change: true } };
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Resource Limits**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# If running n8n in Docker
|
||||||
|
services:
|
||||||
|
n8n:
|
||||||
|
image: n8nio/n8n
|
||||||
|
deploy:
|
||||||
|
resources:
|
||||||
|
limits:
|
||||||
|
cpus: '2'
|
||||||
|
memory: 2G
|
||||||
|
reservations:
|
||||||
|
cpus: '0.5'
|
||||||
|
memory: 512M
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Workflow Optimization**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Slow Workflow Pattern:
|
||||||
|
[Trigger] → [Agent] → [Wait 30s] → [Agent] → [Wait 30s] → [Agent]
|
||||||
|
Total time: 90+ seconds
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Optimized Pattern:
|
||||||
|
[Trigger] → [Agent with all tools] → [Parallel checks] → [Synthesize]
|
||||||
|
Total time: 10-20 seconds
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use parallel execution where possible:
|
||||||
|
- Multiple service checks
|
||||||
|
- Multiple API calls
|
||||||
|
- Multiple SSH commands
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
### Section 10.4: Reliability Guidelines
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Fallback Mechanisms**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
// Multi-channel notifications with fallback
|
||||||
|
async function sendNotification(message) {
|
||||||
|
try {
|
||||||
|
// Primary: Telegram
|
||||||
|
await sendTelegram(message);
|
||||||
|
} catch (error) {
|
||||||
|
try {
|
||||||
|
// Fallback: Email
|
||||||
|
await sendEmail(message);
|
||||||
|
} catch (error2) {
|
||||||
|
try {
|
||||||
|
// Last resort: Write to file
|
||||||
|
fs.appendFileSync('/var/log/failed-notifications.log',
|
||||||
|
JSON.stringify({ timestamp: Date.now(), message, error: error2 }));
|
||||||
|
} catch (error3) {
|
||||||
|
// Critical: Can't notify at all
|
||||||
|
console.error("CRITICAL: All notification methods failed");
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Health Checks for Monitoring System**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Monitor the Monitor:
|
||||||
|
Create a separate workflow that checks if your main monitoring workflows are running.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Schedule: Every hour]
|
||||||
|
↓
|
||||||
|
[Check: When was last execution of main workflow?]
|
||||||
|
↓
|
||||||
|
[IF: >15 minutes ago]
|
||||||
|
YES ↓
|
||||||
|
[ALERT: Monitoring system appears down!]
|
||||||
|
[Send via external service - email, SMS, PagerDuty]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Graceful Degradation**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
// If one tool fails, try alternatives
|
||||||
|
async function checkService(url) {
|
||||||
|
try {
|
||||||
|
// Primary: HTTP Request tool
|
||||||
|
return await httpCheck(url);
|
||||||
|
} catch (error) {
|
||||||
|
try {
|
||||||
|
// Fallback: Curl via Execute Command
|
||||||
|
return await curlCheck(url);
|
||||||
|
} catch (error2) {
|
||||||
|
// Can't check, assume down
|
||||||
|
return {
|
||||||
|
status: "unknown",
|
||||||
|
error: "All check methods failed",
|
||||||
|
last_known_status: getFromCache(url)
|
||||||
|
};
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Recovery Procedures**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Document manual recovery steps:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```markdown
|
||||||
|
## Emergency Recovery: n8n Agent System Down
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Check n8n is running:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
docker ps | grep n8n
|
||||||
|
systemctl status n8n
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Check n8n logs:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
docker logs n8n --tail 100
|
||||||
|
journalctl -u n8n -n 100
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Restart n8n:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
docker restart n8n
|
||||||
|
systemctl restart n8n
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Verify workflows activate:
|
||||||
|
- Login to n8n web interface
|
||||||
|
- Check each workflow's Active status
|
||||||
|
- Manually execute one workflow to test
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. If persistent issues:
|
||||||
|
- Disable all workflows
|
||||||
|
- Re-enable one at a time
|
||||||
|
- Identify problematic workflow
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Nuclear option:
|
||||||
|
- Restore n8n from backup
|
||||||
|
- Reimport workflow exports
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Backup Strategy**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
# Daily backup of n8n data
|
||||||
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||||||
|
BACKUP_DIR="/backups/n8n"
|
||||||
|
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Backup n8n database
|
||||||
|
docker exec n8n sqlite3 /home/node/.n8n/database.sqlite ".backup /tmp/backup.db"
|
||||||
|
docker cp n8n:/tmp/backup.db ${BACKUP_DIR}/database-${DATE}.sqlite
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Backup workflows (export as JSON)
|
||||||
|
# Via n8n API or manual export
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Keep last 30 days
|
||||||
|
find ${BACKUP_DIR} -name "*.sqlite" -mtime +30 -delete
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Upload to cloud storage
|
||||||
|
rclone copy ${BACKUP_DIR} remote:n8n-backups
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

### Section 10.5: Team Collaboration Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Clear Role Assignment**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Document each agent's domain:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
├── vishnu-cto.md
|
||||||
|
│ - Responsibilities: Overall orchestration
|
||||||
|
│ - Escalation triggers: Multi-system failures
|
||||||
|
│ - Decision authority: Final say on all issues
|
||||||
|
│
|
||||||
|
├── brahma-network.md
|
||||||
|
│ - Responsibilities: UniFi, routing, Wi-Fi
|

|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Escalation Paths**:
|
||||||

└─ Timeline: Best effort (SLA depends on severity)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Knowledge Sharing**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```javascript
|
||||||
|
// Shared knowledge base accessible to all agents
|
||||||
|
const kb = {
|

"symptom": "Remote access not working",
|
||||||
|
"solution": "Check port 32400 forwarding, Plex server settings",
|
||||||
|
"solved_count": 12,
|
||||||
|
"success_rate": 0.95
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
],
|
||||||
|
"network_topology": {
|

|
// Agents reference KB before troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
// Update KB after resolving new issues
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Version Control**:
|

**Change Management**:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Before modifying production workflows:
|
||||||
|
1. Document change in issue tracker
|
||||||
|
2. Test in development environment
|
||||||
|
3. Peer review (or self-review with checklist)
|
||||||
|
4. Deploy during maintenance window
|
||||||
|
5. Monitor for 24 hours after change
|
||||||
|
6. Document results and lessons learned
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For emergency fixes:
|
||||||
|
1. Fix the immediate issue
|
||||||
|
2. Document what was changed
|
||||||
|
3. Proper testing and documentation follow-up within 48 hours
|
||||||
|
```

# Logs Directory
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This directory is reserved for persistent log storage for agent actions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Purpose
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Store execution logs from AI agents
|
||||||
|
- Maintain audit trail of automated actions
|
||||||
|
- Debug workflow issues
|
||||||
|
- Track agent decision-making history
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This folder will be populated by your n8n workflows when you configure logging nodes. Logs can include:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Agent diagnostic outputs
|
||||||
|
- Service check results
|
||||||
|
- Automated action records
|
||||||
|
- Error and exception logs
|
||||||
|
- Human approval request history
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Note
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This directory is intentionally kept empty in the repository. Your actual logs will be stored here when the system is running.
