Key Components:

1. Database Adapter Layer: Auto-detects SQLite vs PostgreSQL and adapts queries accordingly
2. Monitor Modules: Independent monitoring services for different system components
3. Alert Manager: Processes thresholds and manages alert lifecycle
4. MCP Interface: Provides natural language tools for Claude Desktop integration

🔧 Database Compatibility

SQLite Support (Development/Testing)

• ✅ Full health monitoring
• ✅ Repair queue analysis
• ✅ User activity tracking
• ✅ Table statistics
• ⚠️ Limited slow query detection (SQLite doesn't provide detailed query logs)

PostgreSQL Support (Production)

• ✅ Full health monitoring
• ✅ Advanced slow query detection
• ✅ Connection pool monitoring
• ✅ Lock detection
• ✅ Performance analytics

Auto-Detection: The system automatically detects your database type from the DATABASE_URL and uses the appropriate adapter.

🔍 Troubleshooting Guide

Common Issues & Solutions

1. "Database connection failed"

Cause: Incorrect database URL or missing database file

Solutions:

# Check if database file exists (for SQLite)
ls -la /path/to/your/db.sqlite3

# Test database connection
python -c "
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('path/to/db.sqlite3')
print('✅ Database accessible')
conn.close()
"

# Verify DATABASE_URL format
# SQLite: sqlite:///absolute/path/to/file.sqlite3
# PostgreSQL: postgresql://user:pass@host:port/dbname

2. "No such table: technician_portal_repair"

Cause: Database schema doesn't match RS Systems structure

Solutions:

# Check available tables
python -c "
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect('path/to/db.sqlite3')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute(\"SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'\")
tables = cursor.fetchall()
print('Available tables:', [t[0] for t in tables])
conn.close()
"

# Ensure you're pointing to the correct RS Systems database

3. "MCP server not connecting to Claude Desktop"

Solutions:

# 1. Check Python path is correct
which python  # Should match path in claude_desktop_config.json

# 2. Test server manually
source venv/bin/activate
python -m src.server

# 3. Check Claude Desktop logs
# macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/
# Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/Logs/

# 4. Verify configuration syntax
python -c "import json; json.load(open('path/to/claude_desktop_config.json'))"

4. "SSL Certificate errors"

Cause: Network/SSL issues with external services

Solutions:

# Disable S3 monitoring if no AWS credentials
ENABLE_S3_MONITORING=false

# Use placeholder Slack webhook (monitoring will still work)
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/WEBHOOK/URL

5. "Permission denied" errors

Solutions:

# Ensure logs directory exists and is writable
mkdir -p logs
chmod 755 logs

# Check file permissions
ls -la .env
chmod 644 .env

Performance Optimization

Slow Response Times

# Check database size
du -h /path/to/db.sqlite3

# Monitor resource usage
python test_mcp_tools.py  # Shows detailed performance metrics

# Adjust monitoring intervals
MONITORING_INTERVAL_SECONDS=60  # Increase for less frequent checks

🧪 Development & Testing

Running Tests

# Comprehensive MCP tools test
python test_mcp_tools.py

# Basic functionality test
python test_server.py

# Test specific monitor
python -c "
import asyncio
from src.monitors.database import DatabaseMonitor
monitor = DatabaseMonitor()
result = asyncio.run(monitor.check_health())
print(f'Database health: {result.status}')
"

Adding Custom Monitors

# 1. Create new monitor in src/monitors/
class CustomMonitor:
    async def check_health(self):
        # Your monitoring logic
        pass

# 2. Register in src/server.py
self.custom_monitor = CustomMonitor()

# 3. Add MCP tool
@self.server.call_tool()
async def custom_check(arguments):
    return await self.custom_monitor.check_health()
