# MEMORY.md - Long-term Memory

This file contains curated long-term memories and important context.

## Memory Management Strategy
- **MEMORY.md**: Curated long-term memories, important decisions, security templates, and key configurations
- **QMD System**: Automated memory backend with semantic search, auto-updates every 5 minutes
- **Usage**: Write significant learnings to MEMORY.md; rely on QMD for daily context and automation
- **Access**: MEMORY.md loaded only in main sessions (direct chats) for security

## QMD Configuration
- Backend: qmd
- Auto-update: every 5 minutes
- Include default memory: true
- Last verified: 2026-02-20

## Server Security Hardening Template (2026-02-20)

### Environment
- **Server**: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VPS (KVM)
- **Panel**: 宝塔面板 (BT-Panel) on port 888
- **Public IP**: 204.12.203.203

### Security Configuration Applied
1. **Port Exposure Minimization**:
   - Only ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) publicly accessible
   - SSH (port 22) restricted to internal/network access only
   - OpenClaw gateway (port 18789) bound to localhost only
   - All other services (MySQL, custom apps) internal-only

2. **OpenClaw Secure Deployment**:
   - Gateway configured with `bind: "localhost"` instead of `"lan"`
   - Access exclusively through Nginx reverse proxy with HTTPS
   - Token-based authentication enabled
   - WebSocket support properly configured in Nginx

3. **Firewall Management**:
   - Use 宝塔面板 (BT-Panel) built-in firewall for port management
   - Alternative: system-level firewall (ufw/iptables) if no panel available
   - Regular external port scanning to verify exposure

4. **Critical Security Principles**:
   - Never expose sensitive services directly to public internet
   - Always use reverse proxy with TLS termination for web services
   - Implement defense in depth (firewall + service binding + authentication)
   - Regular security audits using `openclaw security audit --deep`

### Migration Checklist for New Servers
- [ ] Install and configure 宝塔面板 or equivalent server management panel
- [ ] Set up Nginx reverse proxy with proper WebSocket support
- [ ] Configure OpenClaw with localhost binding only
- [ ] Restrict public ports to 80/443 only via firewall
- [ ] Enable automatic security updates
- [ ] Run initial security audit and document baseline
- [ ] Schedule periodic security audits via OpenClaw cron

### Lessons Learned
- Panel-based firewalls (宝塔/aapanel) must be verified with external port scans
- Direct service exposure (like OpenClaw on 0.0.0.0) creates critical security risks
- Nginx reverse proxy configuration is essential for secure OpenClaw deployment

## Agent Operations Logging Practice (2026-02-20)

### Log Directory Structure
- `/root/.openclaw/workspace/logs/operations/` - Manual operations and important changes
- `/root/.openclaw/workspace/logs/system/` - System-generated logs  
- `/root/.openclaw/workspace/logs/agents/` - Individual agent logs
- `/root/.openclaw/workspace/logs/security/` - Security operations and audits

### Automatic Logging Triggers
1. **Configuration Changes**: Any modification to config files (.json, .yaml, etc.)
2. **Security Modifications**: Firewall rules, authentication changes, port modifications
3. **Agent Lifecycle**: Deployment, updates, removal of agents
4. **System Optimizations**: Performance tuning, resource allocation changes
5. **Troubleshooting**: Error diagnosis and resolution procedures
6. **Memory Updates**: Significant changes to MEMORY.md or memory management

### Log Format Standard
- **Filename**: `YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-description.log`
- **Timestamp**: UTC time format
- **Content**: `[TIMESTAMP] [OPERATION_TYPE] [AGENT/USER] Description with before/after state`

### Implementation Guidelines
- Always log before making changes (capture current state)
- Include rollback instructions when applicable
- Redact sensitive information (passwords, tokens, private keys)
- Reference related MEMORY.md entries for context
- Use QMD for routine operational context, MEMORY.md for strategic decisions

## Agent Health Monitoring & Alerting System (2026-02-20)

### Features Implemented
1. **Crash Detection**: Monitors uncaught exceptions and unhandled rejections
2. **Health Checks**: Periodic service health verification (every 30 seconds)
3. **Multi-Channel Notifications**: Telegram alerts for critical events
4. **Automatic Logging**: All alerts logged to `/logs/agents/health-YYYY-MM-DD.log`
5. **Extensible Design**: Easy to add new notification channels

### Components Created
- **Skill**: `agent-monitor/SKILL.md` - Documentation and usage guide
- **Monitor Script**: `agent-monitor.js` - Core monitoring logic
- **Startup Script**: `start-agent-monitor.sh` - Easy deployment
- **Log Directory**: `/logs/agents/` - Dedicated logging location

### Alert Severity Levels
- **CRITICAL**: Process crashes, uncaught exceptions
- **ERROR**: Unhandled rejections, failed operations  
- **WARNING**: Health check failures, performance issues
- **INFO**: Service status updates, recovery notifications

### Integration Points
- Automatically integrated with existing Telegram channel
- Compatible with OpenClaw's agent architecture
- Works alongside existing logging and memory systems
- Can monitor any Node.js-based agent process

### Usage Instructions
1. Source the startup script: `source /root/.openclaw/workspace/start-agent-monitor.sh`
2. Call `startAgentMonitor("agent-name", healthCheckFunction)` 
3. Monitor automatically sends alerts on errors/crashes
4. Check logs in `/logs/agents/` for detailed information
