docs/dynamics-ax.md: detection, the optional read access per version, how
AX is read (SELECT only, TOP, 2 s lock timeout or snapshot, never NOLOCK),
the rules SQLI-AX-001..010 with thresholds, batch times and the unverified
AX 3.0 STATUS mapping, forecasts from SQLInsight's own samples, AX users
behind blocking (CONTEXT_INFO, honest for 3.0), the hub opt-in, the API and
how to drop in a real 2009/2012 schema. AX 2009/2012/F&O are marked as based
on Microsoft's documented schema, not verified against customer data.

Batch jobs: failed (001), longer than their own history (002), late or never
started (003), stuck in Executing (004). Number sequences: running out with a
forecast from SQLInsight's own samples (005), format shorter than HIGHEST
(006), blocked but still referenced (007), continuous and not cleaned up
(008). RecId running out, flagged far earlier for AX 3.0's 32-bit RecId
(009). AX user behind blocking from CONTEXT_INFO, honest where AX 3.0 cannot
tell (010). Subjects carry the database, so findings follow the hub opt-in.
SQL Scripts/<rule>.sql (and _collectors/) for every AX rule added or changed
in 1.4, incl. COM-AX-001..007: a Danish header plus the exact SQL SQLInsight
sends, generated from the code and checked by SqlScriptTests (rewrite with
SQLINSIGHT_UPDATE_SQL_SCRIPTS=1).

The availability group collector also reads sys.dm_hadr_cluster_members
(empty or unavailable without a WSFC), and SQLI-AG-003 (High) reports a
node or witness that is not up, with how many members are still up.

On a distributor, a 15-minute collector reads each distribution agent's
latest run (status, latency, message) and replication errors the last
day from the distribution database. That needs SELECT on
MSdistribution_agents, MSdistribution_history and MSrepl_errors, which
the agent does not have by default (never the replicated commands);
without it SQLI-REPL-001 (agent failed/retrying, High) and SQLI-REPL-002
(latency > 5 min, Medium) are "not measurable" with the exact grant, and
"not relevant" elsewhere. Shown on the instance page and in
GET /api/v1/instances/{name}/replication. Tested against a real
distributor set up in the SQL 2022 container.

SQLI-SVC-001 (High) reports a service set to start automatically that is
not running (SQL Server Agent, Full-text launcher, Launchpad …), from the
sys.dm_server_services data the configuration collector already reads
(2008 R2 SP1+; not relevant before). The service account is sensitive.

A five-minute collector reads tempdb space (free, version store, user and
internal objects, whether files can grow), the 'Version Store Size (KB)'
counter, the sessions using most tempdb, the oldest snapshot transaction
and, only when the version store is large, the databases generating
versions. Trend and heavy sessions survive restarts; used space and the
version store become metrics with explanation and assessment.
Rules SQLI-TEMP-001 (version store > 1 GB or steadily growing),
SQLI-TEMP-002 (nearly full and cannot grow) and SQLI-TEMP-003 (session
above 1 GB for 15 minutes), configurable under SQLInsight:Tempdb.
"tempdb lige nu" on the instance page; GET /api/v1/instances/{name}/tempdb.

A one-minute collector reads open user transactions (age, log bytes used
and reserved, database, session, login, program, statement) and user
requests running longer than the threshold, leaving out the agent's own
and system sessions, BACKUP/RESTORE/DBCC (long operations) and requests
waiting on purpose. Transactions open a minute or holding 100 MB are kept
in insight.LongTransactions (migration 0014, RawDays).
Rules SQLI-TRAN-001 (open > 10 min, High at 6x), SQLI-TRAN-002 (> 1 GB
log) and SQLI-REQ-001 (statement > 15 min), configurable under
SQLInsight:Activity. Shown "right now" on the instance page and in the
time window analysis and PDF; GET /api/v1/instances/{name}/activity and
the analysis JSON leave logins and statements out.

A five-minute collector reads important error log entries from the best
source the agent's rights allow: the error log itself (xp_readerrorlog,
only with securityadmin), the default trace's ErrorLog and Audit Login
Failed events (optional ALTER TRACE), or the exception and connectivity
ring buffers (VIEW SERVER STATE: numbers and severity, failed logins).
Repetitions are summed per error; the watermark is the newest entry
read, because the default trace is buffered. Stored in
insight.ErrorLogEvents (migration 0013, EventDays), resumed after restart.
Rules SQLI-LOG-001..006: corruption 823/824/825, I/O over 15 s (833),
severe errors (17+), login failure bursts (configurable), stack dumps and
AG errors; rules needing the log text are "not measurable" with the
right to grant. Page /instanser/{navn}/fejllog (menu Overvågning) and
GET /api/v1/instances/{name}/error-log with messages redacted.

- Long operations: a one-minute collector reads operations with progress
from sys.dm_exec_requests (BACKUP, RESTORE, DBCC, REORGANIZE, SHRINK,
ROLLBACK): command, database, start, percent, expected end, login.
Stored in insight.LongOperations (migration 0011, RawDays), shown on
the instance page, in the time window analysis and its PDF. The last
10 durations per command and database survive restarts; SQLI-OPS-001
flags a backup/restore running over twice the median.
- Full-text community rules COM-FT-001..005 (metadata only, 2005 syntax):
disk-full or paused/throttled catalogs, stale manual/off change
tracking indexes and disabled indexes.
- Statement activity (CPU time / time in plan cache): column in top SQL
and SQLI-CPU-002 when above SQLInsight:TopSql:ActivityThresholdPercent
(default 50) for at least an hour. Never clears the plan cache.
- BuiltInCollectors.Create takes a CollectorSettings record.

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.

- new collector instance-config: collation, edition, version, services and
accounts (sys.dm_server_services, 2008 R2 SP1+), Instant File
Initialization and Lock Pages in Memory (where the build has the
columns), tempdb files, default paths; plus a fingerprint of the whole
setup (sp_configure, trace flags, services, version, tempdb files)
- changes are computed against the previous collection, which the agent
restores from the repository after a restart; migration 0008 keeps them
in insight.ConfigurationChanges (as long as resolved findings)
- SQLI-CFG-013 "Konfiguration ændret": information for a day when
sp_configure, a trace flag or a service account changes (account names
are sensitive evidence)
- page /instanser/{navn}/konfiguration: instance, CPU and memory, services,
tempdb, trace flags, non-default sp_configure (default vs. in use vs.
configured) and the change log; linked from the instance page
- the management report lists configuration changes in the period
- trace flag reading shared by trace-flags and instance-config

The forum is shared by SEOSoft's products, so SQLInsight Pro becomes the
top-level category "sqlinsight" with the existing categories beneath it.
- render.py/install.sh: default hostname forum.seosoft.dk
- configure.py: forum-wide settings ("SEOSoft Forum") kept apart from the
SQLInsight Pro category tree; subcategories found via /site.json; the
welcome topic is pinned in the category, not on the shared front page
- Community site: ForumCategory option. The front page lists only that
category's topics (c/<slug>/l/latest.json); forum links go to the
category, topic links stay at the forum root
- Web: default ForumUrl https://forum.seosoft.dk/c/sqlinsight. The old
forum.sqlinsight.seosoft.dk stays as a redirect for installed versions

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.

The hub records when an instance changes build and works out which
findings went away within three days of an update and which were still
there a week later (version rules excluded). Staff see every effect in
the portal; effects seen at three or more customers, resolved more
often than not, are served to licensed agents as anonymous counts
(rule, major version, build, CU, customers, instances). The agent
fetches them every six hours and the web UI shows them on matching
findings: 'at 3 customers this went away after updating to CU21'.
Data processing documentation covers the aggregation.

Rules can now be data: a JSON file with one read-only SELECT where every
row is a finding, with {column} templates, server or per-database scope,
minimum version, sensitive columns and references. Community rules live
in rules/community (reviewed via pull request), ship with every build
and with the signed rule pack; local rules are read from the agent's
data folder every five minutes. Queries are checked for anything that
could write, run with the least-privilege login, and a missing
permission makes the rule not measurable rather than failing. The
rule engine picks up catalog changes without a restart. Authors get
'rules validate' and 'rules test --instance'. Four example community
rules (sa active, orphaned database owners, default trace off,
untrusted foreign keys).

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.

- Managed Instance reports 12.0.2000.8 but is evergreen: treated as the
newest engine with all capabilities; new SelfManagedInfrastructure
capability so backup, CHECKDB, files, tempdb, memory, patch level and
lifecycle rules report 'handled by Azure' instead of false findings
- Microsoft Entra ID login (managed identity, service principal, default
credential chain) via SqlConnection.AccessTokenCallback
- Least-privilege script recognizes Managed Instance; deadlock collector
falls back to the ring buffer when event files cannot be read
- Web UI shows the right release for Managed Instance
- README and installation docs: notifications and Managed Instance
- Catalog test: 61 rules with unique, well-formed ids
Integration suite green on SQL Server 2017 and 2022.
