- ServerMonitoringService keeps the SQL Server hosts in step with the monitored
instances (SQLInsight:Servers:IncludeSqlHosts), picks up servers added, paused or
changed in SQLInsight Web within a minute, and runs each server's due areas with
a limit on parallelism. Default intervals: 1 min CPU/memory, 15 min disks and
tasks, 5 min services and events (SQLInsight:Servers:Intervals).
- ServerMonitor: one CIM session per cycle; per-minute samples, disk samples and
the "fuld om ca. N dage" forecast from the stored history, grouped events (read
from where the last read stopped), services and tasks. A missing right makes
only that area "ikke målbar" with the exact reason, logged once per change; a
server that does not answer is notified once, and again when it answers.
Survives an agent restart (samples, boot time, event position).
- SyntheticCheckService runs checks on their interval, opens a SQL login password
sealed for the agent (AgentCredentialKey.OpenContext), looks up the linked
Windows service when a check fails, stores results and findings, notifies with
links to /servere/fund/{id}.
- AgentRequestService hands ServerTest and SyntheticCheckRun to ServerRequestHandler.
- appsettings.json: SQLInsight:Servers and SQLInsight:SyntheticChecks with every
threshold, interval and retention.

The agent mirrors SQLInsight:Instances into the repository at start (read-only
"fra konfigurationsfil" rows, every database monitored as before) and reads the
configuration on every tick: instances added, paused, removed or changed in
SQLInsight Web, and database choices, take effect without a restart. If the
repository cannot be read before the first load, the configuration file alone
is used.
AgentRequestService runs connection tests (with the permission check), database
discovery and instance discovery (SQL Server Browser, registry) as the agent's
own identity, and refreshes every instance's database list hourly. The agent
keeps an RSA key (DPAPI LocalMachine, restricted folder) and publishes its public
key and identity; SQL login passwords sealed by the web UI are opened only here.
Dynamics AX findings and AX rule outcomes are sent to SQLInsight Hub only for
databases where it is turned on (default off).

Collects members of the fixed server roles and CONTROL SERVER every 15
minutes with login type, disabled state and SQL login password policy.
Windows groups are unfolded recursively through Active Directory on a
Windows agent (cached, 20 s timeout, failures shown with the reason).
Changes since the previous collection are logged, and who/when is read
from the default trace (event 108) when the agent has the optional
ALTER TRACE; authors that only reach the buffered trace later are filled
in at the next collection. The first collection is the baseline.
New rules SQLI-SEC-001 (new privilege, High for sysadmin/securityadmin/
CONTROL SERVER) and SQLI-SEC-002 (more sysadmins than the limit, default
3). Names are sensitive evidence and never in titles or subjects.
Web: /instanser/{navn}/rettigheder and /rettigheder with change log by
period, alert banner on the instance page and overview, and an audit
PDF (/rapporter/rettigheder.pdf) linked from Rapporter.

Entering a connection string in the installer is now enough: the new
command `SQLInsight.Agent.exe setup-repository` runs as a deferred custom
action after the services exist and sqlinsight.ini is written, and before
they start. It runs as the installing user on purpose (SQL Server must see
a person with rights, not SYSTEM) and:
- creates the database from Database=... if it is missing
- creates logins/users for the service accounts: agent db_owner, web
db_datareader. NT SERVICE\... accounts arrive at another computer as
DOMAIN\COMPUTER$, which then gets the login instead
- runs the schema migrations
- with MONITOR_SERVER: creates the agent's login there and applies
grant-least-privilege.sql (embedded). A failure there is a warning only
A repository failure stops the installation; the reason goes to the
Application event log with a Danish hint (login, rights, certificate,
unreachable). SKIP_REPOSITORY_SETUP=1 leaves it to a DBA. Safe to rerun.
verify-msi.py allows this one action to impersonate and checks its
placement, Return=check and condition. Tested against a local SQL
Express (twice, idempotent) and with an unreachable server. Version 1.0.1.

installer/SQLInsight.wxs (WiX 3 syntax) builds on Linux with wixl
(installer/build-msi.sh) and in Forgejo CI on every v* tag. Agent and Web
are installed self-contained as Windows services under virtual service
accounts (or a gMSA), with a settings page in the wizard or MSI
properties for silent installs; the values go to sqlinsight.ini, read
after appsettings.json. The data folder is locked to SYSTEM,
Administrators and the agent account, the event log source is
registered, the web port is opened in the firewall, and the automatic
update task is an optional feature. Upgrades happen in place, keep
edited settings and the chosen features; uninstall keeps the settings.
msi-tables.py writes what wixl lacks (component and feature conditions,
Permanent/NeverOverwrite, vital services, REG_EXPAND_SZ) and
verify-msi.py checks the result (sequencing, deferred actions, ASCII
only). test-msi-wine.sh runs install, upgrade and uninstall under Wine.
Installations made with the MSI get new versions as MSI packages run by
the update task, so Windows Installer stays in charge of the files.
The example instance is removed from the shipped appsettings.json, and
the CLI writes UTF-8 to the console.

A PDF report for management and auditors (PDFsharp/MigraDoc, MIT, with
the Inter font embedded): key figures, a plain-language summary,
compliance controls backed by rules (met, not met, not measured),
instances and the critical and high findings. Downloadable from the
web UI (/rapporter) and mailed monthly by the agent with the PDF
attached, once per month, across daylight saving changes.

Rule packs (support dates and newest CU per release) are published in a
signed feed and hot-loaded without a restart; the verified pack is
reloaded at startup. New versions are announced (Notify) or downloaded
and staged by the unprivileged agent (Automatic), and installed by a
privileged apply-update task that re-verifies signature and hash in an
admin-only folder, keeps appsettings/web.config, health-checks the
services and rolls back on failure. Stable and preview channels,
manifest expiry and rollback protection, https or folder/share feeds
for offline sites. Vendor tool gains rulepack and publish; the Hub can
serve the feed; the web UI gets a System page with update, rule pack,
license and exactly what is sent to the Hub.

- Evidence can be marked sensitive (query text, logins, hosts, programs,
job error messages); rules mark it. Sensitive values and the server
name are sent as [udeladt] unless the customer allows them.
- Full-state submission contract (all active findings and rule outcomes
per instance), idempotent by submission id
- Local outbound queue in the repository (migration 0002): newest state
per instance only, exponential backoff up to an hour, permanent
rejections (bad license, bad request) are given up, sent items purged
- Hub status (license state, last sent, last error) for the web UI
- Sync runs only with a valid license (or in grace); monitoring never
depends on it

- Repository reports which findings opened and resolved per evaluation
- Agent notifies on new and resolved findings and on instance
unreachable/recovered transitions, with links to the web UI
- Channels: e-mail (MailKit, HTML-encoded), Microsoft Teams Workflows
webhook (Adaptive Card), generic JSON webhook signed with HMAC-SHA256
- Per-channel minimum severity (outages always sent), one message per
batch, hourly cap per channel; a failing channel never stops monitoring
- Tested with a real SMTP server (Mailpit) and the real agent pipeline

Each instance runs its due collectors over one hardened connection per
cycle, keeps previous results for deltas, evaluates all rules and stores
findings, rule states and time series. Instances run in parallel with a
limit; a slow or failing instance never delays the others. The
repository is migrated at startup with retry, and maintenance runs hourly.
End-to-end test against SQL Server with the least-privilege login.

- Connectivity via Microsoft.Data.SqlClient with ODBC fallback for legacy instances,
hardened monitoring session settings valid back to SQL Server 2000
- Support lifecycle rule (SQLI-VER-001) with lifecycle data shipped as a rule pack
- Version-aware least-privilege permissions script, verified by integration tests
against SQL Server in Docker (reads monitoring sources, cannot read customer data)
- Forgejo Actions CI, contributing guide, code of conduct, issue templates,
legacy version notes
