-## 🩺 Troubleshooting
+## Chapter 9 – Troubleshooting
 
-### Common Issues and Solutions
+Even the most sophisticated AI agent systems encounter issues. This chapter provides systematic troubleshooting approaches, common problems, solutions, and JSON examples to help you diagnose and resolve problems quickly.
 
-#### n8n Workflow Errors
-**Problem**: Variable mapping errors (chatId, prompt)
-- **Solution**: Check node connections and variable names
-- Verify data structure between nodes
-- Use "Execute Node" to test individual steps
+### Section 9.1: General Troubleshooting Methodology
 
-#### Too Many Tool Calls
-**Problem**: Agent exceeds iteration limit
-- **Solution**: Increase max iterations in agent settings
-- Simplify the task scope
-- Break complex tasks into smaller workflows
+**Before diving into specific issues, follow this systematic approach**:
 
-#### Telegram Not Responding
-**Problem**: Messages not being sent/received
-- **Solution**: Verify Chat ID is correct
-- Confirm bot token is valid
-- Check bot has permission to send messages
-- Test with direct API call
-
-#### SSH Connection Failures
-**Problem**: Cannot execute remote commands
-- **Solution**: Verify SSH key configuration
-- Check subworkflow command mapping
-- Ensure proper network connectivity
-- Test SSH manually first
-
-#### Agent Not Making Decisions
-**Problem**: Agent seems stuck or unresponsive
-- **Solution**: Review system prompt clarity
-- Check LLM API key and credits
-- Increase temperature for more creative responses
-- Verify tool configurations
-
-#### Docker Permission Issues
-**Problem**: Cannot execute Docker commands
-- **Solution**: Ensure n8n has Docker access
-- Add n8n user to docker group
-- Check socket permissions
-- Use sudo if necessary (with caution)
+1. **Identify the Symptom**: What exactly is not working?
+2. **Isolate the Component**: Is it the workflow, agent, tool, or service?
+3. **Check the Logs**: n8n execution logs, agent responses, service logs
+4. **Reproduce the Issue**: Can you trigger it manually?
+5. **Test Components Individually**: Execute nodes one at a time
+6. **Verify Configuration**: Check credentials, URLs, parameters
+7. **Consult Documentation**: Review this guide and n8n docs
+8. **Escalate if Needed**: Community forums, GitHub issues

-## ✅ Best Practices
+### Section 9.2: n8n Workflow Errors
 
-### Development Workflow
-1. **Start Simple**: Begin with basic monitoring before adding complexity
-2. **Test Thoroughly**: Always test with demo containers before production
-3. **Incremental Deployment**: Add one capability at a time
-4. **Document Everything**: Keep detailed notes of each integration
+#### Problem: Variable Mapping Errors
 
-### Security Considerations
-1. **Always Require Approval**: For destructive commands (restarts, deletions)
-2. **Use Read-Only First**: Start with monitoring before allowing changes
-3. **Secure Remote Access**: Use VPN or Twingate for external access
-4. **Rotate Credentials**: Regularly update API keys and tokens
-5. **Audit Logs**: Keep comprehensive logs of all agent actions
+**Symptom**:
+```
+Error: Cannot read property 'chatId' of undefined
+Error: $json.output is not defined
+Error: Expression error: Variable 'prompt' is not defined
+```
 
-### Performance Optimization
-1. **Efficient Polling**: Don't over-poll services (5-minute intervals are usually sufficient)
-2. **Caching**: Cache service status to reduce API calls
-3. **Conditional Execution**: Only trigger actions when status changes
-4. **Resource Limits**: Set memory and CPU limits for agent processes
+**Cause**: Data structure mismatch between nodes. A node expects data that the previous node didn't provide.
 
-### Reliability Guidelines
-1. **Fallback Mechanisms**: Have backup notification channels
-2. **Health Checks**: Monitor the monitoring system itself
-3. **Graceful Degradation**: Continue partial operations if some services fail
-4. **Recovery Procedures**: Document manual recovery steps
+**Solution**:
 
-### Team Collaboration
-1. **Clear Role Assignment**: Each agent should have well-defined responsibilities
-2. **Escalation Paths**: Define when to escalate between agents
-3. **Knowledge Sharing**: Maintain shared documentation
-4. **Version Control**: Track agent prompt and configuration changes
+1. **Execute Previous Node First**:
+   - Click "Execute Node" on the node BEFORE the failing one
+   - Inspect the output in JSON tab
+   - Verify it contains the expected fields
+
+2. **Check Data Mapping**:
+```javascript
+// WRONG - assuming structure without checking
+const message = $json.result.message.text;
+
+// RIGHT - safe access with fallbacks
+const message = $json?.result?.message?.text || 'No message';
+```
+
+3. **Use Expression Editor**:
+   - Click the "Expression" toggle when mapping variables
+   - Browse available variables in the left panel
+   - Test expressions before saving
+
+4. **Add Data Transformation Node**:
+```javascript
+// Code node to restructure data
+return {
+  json: {
+    chatId: $input.first().json.message.chat.id,
+    prompt: $input.first().json.agent_output.text,
+    timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
+  }
+};
+```
+
+**Example Fix**:
+```
+[AI Agent] → Output: { output: "Service is down" }
+          ↓
+[Code: Extract & Restructure]
+```
+```javascript
+const agentResponse = $input.first().json.output;
+return {
+  json: {
+    message: agentResponse,
+    chatId: $env.TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID,
+    timestamp: Date.now()
+  }
+};
+```
+```
+          ↓
+[Telegram] → Now has chatId and message properly mapped
+```

-## 📚 Additional Resources
+#### Problem: Too Many Tool Calls / Iteration Limit Exceeded
 
-### Example Workflows
-(Coming soon - workflow JSON exports for common scenarios)
+**Symptom**:
+```
+Error: Max iterations (10) reached for AI Agent
+Agent seems to call tools repeatedly without completing
+Workflow times out
+```
 
-### Community Examples
-- Multi-agent orchestration patterns
-- Advanced Telegram integration examples
-- Service-specific monitoring workflows
+**Cause**: Agent is stuck in a loop, repeatedly calling tools without reaching a conclusion.
 
-### Integration Guides
-- Detailed setup for each supported service
-- API authentication examples
-- Troubleshooting specific integrations
+**Root Causes**:
+1. Unclear system prompt (agent doesn't know when it's "done")
+2. Tool returning confusing output
+3. Agent trying to solve unsolvable problem
+4. Insufficient max iterations for complex task
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+**Solution 1: Clarify System Prompt**
+```
+// VAGUE
+"Check services and fix issues"
+
+// CLEAR
+"Check services using HTTP request tool. 
+If status is 200, respond: 'Service is UP'.
+If status is not 200, respond: 'Service is DOWN'.
+Do NOT take any other actions. Stop after checking."
+```
+
+**Solution 2: Increase Max Iterations** (for legitimate complex tasks)
+```
+AI Agent Settings → Options → Max Iterations: 20
+```
+
+**Solution 3: Add Completion Criteria to Prompt**
+```
+COMPLETION CRITERIA:
+You have completed your task when:
+- You have checked all required services
+- You have generated a status report
+- You have sent any necessary notifications
+
+After completing these steps, STOP. Do not continue checking.
+```
+
+**Solution 4: Simplify the Task**
+```
+// Instead of: "Monitor all services and fix any issues"
+// Use: "Check Plex service status only"
+
+Then create separate workflows for different services
+rather than one mega-workflow.
+```

-## 📌 Support & Contact
+#### Problem: Workflow Not Triggering on Schedule
 
-### Getting Help
+**Symptom**:
+- Schedule trigger configured but workflow doesn't execute
+- No executions appearing in history
+- Workflow seems inactive
 
-For questions, issues, or contributions:
+**Solution**:
+
+1. **Verify Workflow is Active**:
+   - Workflow must be toggled ON (switch in top right)
+   - Inactive workflows don't execute scheduled triggers
+
+2. **Check Schedule Configuration**:
+```
+WRONG: "Every 5 minutes" with no cron expression
+RIGHT: 
+  - Cron Expression: */5 * * * *
+  - Mode: Every X minutes
+  - Interval: 5
+```
+
+3. **Verify n8n is Running**:
+```bash
+# Check n8n process
+ps aux | grep n8n
+
+# Check n8n logs
+docker logs n8n  # if running in Docker
+journalctl -u n8n  # if running as service
+```
+
+4. **Check Timezone**:
+```
+Schedule trigger uses server timezone.
+If scheduling for "9 AM" but nothing happens,
+verify server time matches your expectation:
+
+date
+timedatectl  # on Linux
+```
+
+5. **Test with Manual Trigger First**:
+   - Add a Manual Trigger alongside Schedule Trigger
+   - Test workflow manually
+   - Once working, remove Manual Trigger
+

+
+### Section 9.3: Telegram Integration Issues
+
+#### Problem: Telegram Not Responding / Messages Not Sending
+
+**Symptom**:
+- Telegram node completes without error but no message received
+- "Chat not found" error
+- Messages sent to wrong chat
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+**Issue 1: Incorrect Chat ID**
+
+```bash
+# Verify your Chat ID
+# Method 1: Send message to bot, then check:
+curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/getUpdates
+
+# Look for your chat ID in response:
+{
+  "result": [{
+    "message": {
+      "chat": {
+        "id": 123456789,  ← This is your Chat ID
+```
+
+**Issue 2: Bot Not Started**
+
+Solution: Open Telegram, search for your bot, click "START" button
+
+**Issue 3: Wrong Token**
+
+```javascript
+// Verify token in n8n credential matches BotFather
+// Test token manually:
+curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_TOKEN>/getMe
+
+// Should return bot info, not "Unauthorized"
+```
+
+**Issue 4: Bot Blocked by User**
+
+If you previously blocked the bot, unblock it in Telegram:
+- Open chat with bot
+- Click bot name → Unblock
+
+**Example Working Configuration**:
+```
+Telegram Node:
+- Credential: [Your bot credential]
+- Chat ID: 123456789 (your actual chat ID, not variable)
+- Message: Test message
+
+Test with this simple message first, then add variables.
+```
+
+---
+
+#### Problem: Telegram Trigger Not Receiving Messages
+
+**Symptom**:
+- Telegram Trigger workflow exists but doesn't activate when you message bot
+- No executions appear when sending messages
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. **Webhook Mode vs Polling**:
+```
+n8n supports two modes:
+- Webhook (production): Requires public URL
+- Polling (development): n8n polls Telegram API
+
+For local development:
+Settings → Telegram Trigger → Mode: Polling
+
+For production with public n8n:
+Mode: Webhook
+Webhook URL will be auto-configured
+```
+
+2. **Verify Webhook Registration**:
+```bash
+# Check current webhook
+curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getWebhookInfo
+
+# Should show your n8n webhook URL
+# If not, or shows wrong URL, delete and recreate Telegram Trigger node
+```
+
+3. **Workflow Must Be Active**:
+   - Telegram Triggers only work when workflow is ACTIVE
+   - Toggle workflow ON
+
+4. **Test Webhook Directly**:
+```bash
+# Simulate Telegram sending update
+curl -X POST https://your-n8n.com/webhook/telegram \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"message":{"text":"test","chat":{"id":123456789}}}'
+```
+

+
+### Section 9.4: SSH Connection Failures
+
+#### Problem: Cannot Execute Remote Commands
+
+**Symptom**:
+```
+Error: Connection refused
+Error: Permission denied (publickey)
+Error: Host key verification failed
+```
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+**Issue 1: SSH Key Not Configured**
+
+```bash
+# On n8n server, generate key if needed
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "n8n-agent"
+
+# Copy to target server
+ssh-copy-id user@target-server
+
+# Test manually
+ssh user@target-server "echo 'success'"
+```
+
+**Issue 2: Wrong User/Host**
+
+```javascript
+// In Execute Command node
+Command: ssh user@192.168.1.100 "docker ps"
+
+// Verify:
+// - User exists on target server
+// - IP address is correct
+// - Server is reachable (ping 192.168.1.100)
+```
+
+**Issue 3: Subworkflow Command Mapping**
+
+```javascript
+// When using subworkflow for SSH commands
+
+// Main workflow passes:
+{ "command": "docker ps" }
+
+// Subworkflow should use:
+Command: ssh user@target "{{ $json.command }}"
+
+// NOT:
+Command: ssh user@target {{ $json.command }}  ❌ Missing quotes
+```
+
+**Issue 4: Host Key Verification**
+
+```bash
+# First time connecting to server
+# Add to known_hosts
+
+# Option 1: Accept manually
+ssh user@server  # Type 'yes' when prompted
+
+# Option 2: Add to SSH config (less secure but convenient)
+# Create ~/.ssh/config
+Host *
+    StrictHostKeyChecking no
+    UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null
+```
+
+**Example Working SSH Subworkflow**:
+```
+[Execute Workflow Trigger]
+  Input: { "server": "proxmox", "command": "pvesh get /nodes/pve/status" }
+  ↓
+[Execute Command: SSH]
+  Command: ssh root@{{ $json.server }}.local "{{ $json.command }}"
+  ↓
+[Code: Parse Output]
+  Parse JSON or text response
+  ↓
+[Respond to Workflow]
+  Return structured data
+```
+

+
+### Section 9.5: Docker Permission Issues
+
+#### Problem: Cannot Execute Docker Commands
+
+**Symptom**:
+```
+Error: permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket
+Error: docker: command not found
+Cannot restart container
+```
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+**Issue 1: User Not in Docker Group**
+
+```bash
+# Add n8n user to docker group
+sudo usermod -aG docker n8n-user
+
+# Or if n8n runs as different user
+sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+
+# Logout and login again, or:
+newgrp docker
+
+# Test
+docker ps  # Should work without sudo
+```
+
+**Issue 2: Docker Socket Permissions**
+
+```bash
+# Check socket permissions
+ls -l /var/run/docker.sock
+
+# Should be: srw-rw---- 1 root docker
+
+# If wrong:
+sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock  # Quick fix (insecure)
+# OR better:
+sudo chown root:docker /var/run/docker.sock
+sudo chmod 660 /var/run/docker.sock
+```
+
+**Issue 3: Docker Not Installed/Running**
+
+```bash
+# Check if Docker is running
+systemctl status docker
+
+# Start Docker
+sudo systemctl start docker
+
+# Enable on boot
+sudo systemctl enable docker
+
+# Verify
+docker ps
+```
+
+**Issue 4: n8n in Docker Can't Access Host Docker**
+
+```yaml
+# If n8n runs in Docker and needs to control host Docker
+# Mount Docker socket in n8n container
+
+docker-compose.yml:
+services:
+  n8n:
+    image: n8nio/n8n
+    volumes:
+      - ./n8n-data:/home/node/.n8n
+      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock  ← Add this
+    environment:
+      - N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true
+```
+
+---
+
+### Section 9.6: Agent Not Making Decisions
+
+#### Problem: Agent Seems Stuck or Unresponsive
+
+**Symptom**:
+- Agent returns empty responses
+- Agent says "I don't know" to everything
+- Agent doesn't use tools even when available
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+**Issue 1: System Prompt Too Vague**
+
+```
+// TOO VAGUE
+"You are a helpful assistant"
+
+// SPECIFIC
+"You are a homelab monitoring agent.
+Your task is to check service health using the HTTP Request tool.
+When asked about a service:
+1. Use HTTP Request to check the URL
+2. Report the status code
+3. Indicate if service is UP (200-299) or DOWN (other)
+Always use tools when available."
+```
+
+**Issue 2: LLM API Issues**
+
+```javascript
+// Check API key validity
+// Test outside n8n:
+curl https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
+  }'
+
+// Should return chat completion, not error
+```
+
+**Issue 3: Model Selection**
+
+```
+Some models are better for agent tasks:
+- GPT-4o-mini ✅ (cost-effective, capable)
+- GPT-4 ✅ (most capable)
+- GPT-3.5-turbo ⚠️ (less reliable for complex agent tasks)
+
+Avoid deprecated models.
+```
+
+**Issue 4: Tools Not Properly Connected**
+
+```
+In AI Agent node:
+- Click "Add Tool"
+- Select HTTP Request (or other tool)
+- VERIFY tool node appears connected
+- Tool node should have line connecting to AI Agent
+
+If disconnected, delete and re-add tool.
+```
+
+**Issue 5: Insufficient Context**
+
+```javascript
+// Agent needs enough information to decide
+
+// INSUFFICIENT
+User: "Check it"
+Agent: "Check what?"
+
+// SUFFICIENT
+User: "Check if Plex at http://192.168.1.100:32400 is online"
+Agent: [Uses HTTP tool and responds]
+
+// Add context in system prompt:
+"When user says 'check the website', they mean http://192.168.1.100:8090"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Section 9.7: JSON Parsing Issues
+
+#### Problem: Invalid JSON from Agent
+
+**Symptom**:
+```
+Error: Unexpected token in JSON at position 0
+Agent returns text instead of JSON
+JSON fields missing or incorrectly formatted
+```
+
+**Example Invalid Responses**:
+```
+The service is down. Here's the report:
+{
+  "status": "down"
+}
+
+// Issue: Extra text before JSON
+
+
+{
+  status: "down",  // Missing quotes around key
+  message: 'Service offline'  // Single quotes instead of double
+}
+
+
+{
+  "status": "down",
+  "diagnosis": {
+    "reason": "Container stopped"
+  }  // Missing closing brace
+```
+
+**Solution: Robust JSON Extraction**
+
+```javascript
+// Code node: Parse Agent Output
+const agentOutput = $input.first().json.output;
+
+// Extract JSON from response (handles extra text)
+function extractJSON(text) {
+  try {
+    // Try direct parse first
+    return JSON.parse(text);
+  } catch (e) {
+    // Extract JSON object from text
+    const jsonMatch = text.match(/\{[\s\S]*\}/);
+    if (jsonMatch) {
+      try {
+        return JSON.parse(jsonMatch[0]);
+      } catch (e2) {
+        // JSON is malformed
+        return null;
+      }
+    }
+    return null;
+  }
+}
+
+const report = extractJSON(agentOutput);
+
+if (!report) {
+  // Fallback if JSON parsing fails
+  return {
+    json: {
+      status: "error",
+      raw_output: agentOutput,
+      error: "Failed to parse JSON from agent"
+    }
+  };
+}
+
+// Validate required fields
+const validatedReport = {
+  status: report.status || "unknown",
+  service: report.service || { name: "unknown" },
+  diagnosis: report.diagnosis || { root_cause: "N/A" },
+  timestamp: report.timestamp || new Date().toISOString()
+};
+
+return { json: validatedReport };
+```
+
+**Improve Agent JSON Output**:
+
+Add to system prompt:
+```
+OUTPUT FORMAT - CRITICAL:
+You MUST respond with ONLY valid JSON. No other text.
+
+CORRECT:
+{"status":"down","service":"plex"}
+
+INCORRECT:
+Here's the status:
+{"status":"down"}
+
+INCORRECT:
+{status: "down"}
+
+INCORRECT:
+{'status': 'down'}
+
+Rules:
+- Use double quotes for keys and string values
+- No trailing commas
+- No comments in JSON
+- No text before or after JSON object
+```
+

+
+## 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
+```

+    "website": ["docker", "network"],
+    "database": ["storage", "network"]
+  }
+};
+
+// Agents reference KB before troubleshooting
+// Update KB after resolving new issues
+```
+
+**Version Control**:
+
+```bash
+# Export workflows regularly
+# Store in git repo
+
+workflows/
+├── monitoring-main.json
+├── approval-handler.json
+├── brahma-network.json
+├── saraswati-database.json

+git commit -m "Add database slow query detection to Saraswati"
+git push
+
+# Tags for stable versions
+git tag -a v1.0 -m "Production-ready release"
+```
+
+**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
+```

+### Section 11.3: Example Workflows
+
+Below are workflow templates you can import into your n8n instance. Each includes configuration notes and customization instructions.
+
+#### Example 1: Basic Service Monitor
+
+**Purpose**: Monitor a single HTTP service every 5 minutes
+
+**Workflow JSON** (Basic structure - customize for your service):
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Basic Service Monitor",
+  "nodes": [
+    {
+      "parameters": {
+        "rule": {
+          "interval": [
+            {
+              "field": "cronExpression",
+              "expression": "*/5 * * * *"
+            }
+          ]
+        }
+      },
+      "name": "Schedule Trigger",
+      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.scheduleTrigger"
+    },
+    {
+      "parameters": {
+        "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
+        "systemPrompt": "You are a service monitoring agent. Check if the service is online using the HTTP tool. Report status clearly."
+      },
+      "name": "AI Agent",
+      "type": "@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent"
+    },
+    {
+      "parameters": {
+        "url": "={{ $json.service_url }}",
+        "method": "GET"
+      },
+      "name": "HTTP Request",
+      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Customization**:
+- Change `cronExpression` for different intervals
+- Update `systemPrompt` for service-specific instructions
+- Add Telegram notification node for alerts
+
+---
+
+#### Example 2: Multi-Service Dashboard
+
+**Purpose**: Check multiple services and generate status report
+
+**Configuration**:
+```javascript
+// Code node: Define services to check
+const services = [
+  { name: "Plex", url: "http://192.168.1.100:32400" },
+  { name: "Proxmox", url: "https://proxmox:8006" },
+  { name: "NAS", url: "http://nas:5000" },
+  { name: "UniFi", url: "https://unifi:8443" }
+];
+
+return services.map(service => ({ json: service }));
+```
+
+Then loop through each with AI Agent + HTTP Request, aggregate results, and send comprehensive report via Telegram.

+
+## Closing Note
+
+As you embark on this journey of building an AI-powered IT department for your homelab, remember the ancient wisdom that guides these agents:
+
+**Sanskrit Shlok** (Blessing for Your Infrastructure):
+
+> **"सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु सर्वे सन्तु निरामया ।  
+> सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् ॥"**
+>
+> *"Sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu sarve santu nirāmayā |  
+> Sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu mā kaścid duḥkhabhāg bhavet ||"*
+
+**Translation**:
+> "May all beings see auspiciousness, may all beings be free from illness.  
+> May all beings experience prosperity, may no one experience suffering."
+
+**Applied to Your Homelab**:
+> "May all your services see uptime, may all your systems be free from failures.  
+> May all your infrastructure experience stability, may no user experience downtime."
+
+---
+
+### Final Wisdom from the Agents
+
+**Vishnu (CTO)** says:
+> "Balance is the key. Monitor closely, but trust your systems. Automate wisely, but remain in control. Your infrastructure is an ecosystem—nurture it."
+
+**Brahma (Infrastructure)** says:
+> "Build with intention. Every service has a purpose. Every network segment has a reason. Create with vision, not just reaction."
+
+**Saraswati (Knowledge)** says:
+> "Document everything. The knowledge you capture today saves hours tomorrow. Your future self will thank your present self."
+
+**Ganesha (Security)** says:
+> "Remove obstacles, but create necessary barriers. Security is not paranoia—it's wisdom. Protect what matters."
+
+**Shiva (DevOps)** says:
+> "Embrace change. The old must make way for the new. Break without fear, for you have backups. Deploy with confidence."
+
+**Hanuman (Service)** says:
+> "Serve with devotion. Every user issue matters. Every ticket deserves attention. Your dedication defines the experience."
+
+---
+
+### Homelab DevOps Blessing
+
+**May Your Infrastructure Journey Be Blessed**:
+
+- 🔱 **May your services always be UP**, your logs always be clear
+- ⚙️ **May your containers always start**, your builds always succeed
+- 📚 **May your databases never corrupt**, your backups always restore
+- 🛡️ **May your firewalls block threats**, but allow legitimate traffic
+- 🔥 **May your deployments be smooth**, your rollbacks unnecessary
+- 🙏 **May your users be patient**, your on-call nights be quiet
+
+---
+
+### Going Forward
+
+You now possess the knowledge to build and operate a world-class AI-powered infrastructure team. What started as a simple monitoring script has evolved into a sophisticated, intelligent system that thinks, decides, and acts with wisdom.
+
+**Remember**:
+- Start small, grow incrementally
+- Test thoroughly, deploy carefully
+- Monitor constantly, improve continuously
+- Share knowledge, help others
+- Stay curious, keep learning
+
+**Your agents are ready. Your infrastructure awaits. May your homelab flourish.**
