# Collector integration (PC auto-update)

How the shopfloor PC fleet pushes inventory into shopdb-flask, replacing the
classic ASP `api.asp?action=updateCompleteAsset` path. The generic collector
contract is defined in ADR-006; this doc is the operational reference for wiring
a real caller (the GE-Enforce fleet agent) to it.

- Server code: `shopdb/core/api/collector.py`
- Computers schema + upsert: `plugins/computers/plugin.py`
  (`get_collector_schema` / `apply_collector_payload`)
- Contract rationale: `docs/adr/ADR-006-collector-contract.md`

---

## 1. How it works now

### Auth model (header-only, env keys, fail-closed)

- The API key travels in the `X-API-Key` request header. Nothing else is
  accepted. The old `?api_key=<key>` querystring fallback has been removed on
  every collector endpoint (see the breaking-change section below).
- Keys come from environment variables (never the database, never a file the app
  serves):
  - `COLLECTOR_API_KEY_<PLUGINNAME>` - per-plugin override, uppercased plugin
    name (e.g. `COLLECTOR_API_KEY_COMPUTERS`).
  - `COLLECTOR_API_KEY` - shared fallback used when no per-plugin key is set.
  - Resolution order per request: per-plugin key first, then the shared key
    (`_plugin_api_key` in `collector.py`).
- Fail-closed: if neither variable is set server-side, the endpoint returns
  HTTP 500 `Collector API key not configured` and rejects every request. An
  unconfigured server never silently accepts unauthenticated data.
- A caller that sends the wrong key (or no key) gets HTTP 401 `Invalid API key`.

### Generic endpoint contract: `POST /api/collector/<plugin>`

One dynamic route serves every enabled plugin that returns a collector schema.
For the PC fleet that is `POST /api/collector/computers`.

Request flow inside `generic_collect`:

1. Look up the plugin's schema. Unknown / disabled plugin -> HTTP 404
   `No collector registered for plugin <plugin>`.
2. Resolve and check the API key (per-plugin then shared, as above).
3. Parse the JSON body. Missing or non-object body -> HTTP 400 `No data provided`.
4. Identity-field resolution: the schema names an `identityfield`
   (`hostname` for computers). If that field is missing or blank in the payload,
   HTTP 400 `<identityfield> is required`.
5. Idempotent upsert: the plugin's `apply_collector_payload` finds the existing
   asset by identity and updates it, or inserts a new one. Same identity on a
   later submission updates the same row - re-imaging a PC does not duplicate it,
   and existing asset relationships are preserved.
6. Audit logging: every accepted submission writes an `AuditLog` row
   (`action` = created/updated, entity `Collector`, `details = collector:<plugin>
   action=<action>`), then commits.

Response body (HTTP 200), wrapped in the standard envelope
`{status, data, message, meta}`, with the collector result under `data`:

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "status": "ok",
    "action": "created",
    "assetid": 12345,
    "identityvalue": "WJRP2335",
    "warnings": ["unknown operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise 23H2 (build 22631)"]
  },
  "message": "computers collector created",
  "meta": { "timestamp": "...", "requestid": "..." }
}
```

`action` is `created`, `updated`, or `noop`. `warnings` is a list of soft
problems (unmapped pc-type, unknown OS, unknown app, un-stored pcsubtype) that
did NOT fail the request - the row was still written.

### Error responses

Errors use the same envelope with `status: "error"` and the detail under
`data.error`:

```json
{ "status": "error", "data": { "error": { "code": "UNAUTHORIZED", "message": "Invalid API key" } }, "meta": { } }
```

The plugin can raise `ValueError` for controlled validation failures; its message
is returned verbatim (HTTP 400). Any other exception is caught, logged
server-side, the transaction is rolled back, and the caller gets a generic
HTTP 500 `Internal error processing collector payload` with no internal detail
(by design - check the server log to see what actually failed).

### Schema discovery: `GET /api/collector/_schemas`

Returns the collector schema for every enabled plugin. This route is
JWT-protected (an interactive/admin token), NOT API-key protected - it is for
humans and tooling introspecting what payloads are accepted, not for the
headless collectors themselves.

### Legacy endpoints (computers-only, predate ADR-006)

These still exist for the older PowerShell callers and all require the same
`X-API-Key` header:

| Endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `POST /api/collector/pc` | Update one PC matched by `hostname` (lastboot, user, serial). |
| `POST /api/collector/apps` | Update installed apps for a PC (known apps only). |
| `POST /api/collector/heartbeat` | Record check-in for one or many hostnames. |
| `POST /api/collector/bulk` | Update many PCs in one call. |
| `GET  /api/collector/status` | Liveness + endpoint list. |

New integrations should target `POST /api/collector/computers`, not these. Per
ADR-006 the legacy `/pc` path is deprecated and slated for removal before v1.0.

### Computers plugin field mapping

Payload naming follows the project convention (lowercase concatenated). The
identity field is `hostname`. All other fields are optional; an omitted field
leaves the existing value untouched (patch-style), so a bare report never blanks
a column.

| Payload field | Type | Server behaviour (`apply_collector_payload`) |
|---|---|---|
| `hostname` (required) | string | Identity. Matches `Computer.hostname` (case-insensitive), then falls back to `Asset.assetnumber`. New asset created if no match. |
| `machinenumber` | string | Business tag -> `Asset.assetnumber`. The placeholder `9999` and empty string are skipped; when skipped a new PC falls back to `assetnumber = hostname`. On an existing PC a real value updates `assetnumber`. |
| `pctype` | string | `gea-shopfloor-*` imaging type -> `Computer.computertypeid` via the configurable `pctypemap` settings. Unmapped value -> warning, not error. |
| `pcsubtype` | string | Accepted but not stored yet -> warning. |
| `serialnumber` | string | `Asset.serialnumber`. |
| `loggedinuser` | string | `Computer.loggedinuser`. (`currentuser` is also accepted as a legacy alias.) |
| `lastboottime` | ISO-8601 datetime | `Computer.lastboottime`. Unparseable -> warning. |
| `lastcheckin` | ISO-8601 datetime | Accepted (heartbeat semantics). `lastreporteddate` is set server-side on every call regardless. |
| `ipaddress` | string | Primary `Communication` row (`isprimary=True`, type `IP`). Updated in place or created. |
| `vendorname` | string | `Computer.vendorid`. Vendor row auto-created if missing (free vocab). |
| `modelnumber` | string | `Computer.modelnumberid`, scoped to the vendor when known. Model row auto-created if missing. |
| `osname` | string | `Computer.osid`. Controlled vocab: looked up in `operatingsystems`, NOT auto-created. Unknown value -> warning (row still written, `osid` left unset). |
| `installedsoftware` | array of `{name, version}` | `ComputerInstalledApp` rows for applications shopdb already tracks. Unknown app name -> warning, skipped. |

Schema source of truth: `get_collector_schema` in `plugins/computers/plugin.py`.
If you change the payload, change it there and re-check this table.

### pc-type mapping (configurable per site)

`pctype` (e.g. `gea-shopfloor-cmm`) maps to a shopdb Computer Type through
`pctypemap_<pxetype>` settings (Settings > System > "Collector PC Type Mapping").
Defaults live in `plugins/computers/pctypemap.py` and are seeded on plugin
install; edit per site in the UI. Unmapped pc-types produce a warning, not a
failure.

### Classic api.asp field mapping (for porting the PowerShell reporter)

The fleet's classic-ASP reporter posts form fields to
`api.asp?action=updateCompleteAsset`. Map them to the collector JSON as follows:

| Classic `updateCompleteAsset` form field | Collector field |
|---|---|
| `hostname` | `hostname` |
| `machineNo` | `machinenumber` |
| `pcType` | `pctype` |
| `serialNumber` | `serialnumber` |
| `loggedInUser` | `loggedinuser` |
| `lastBootUpTime` / `lastBootTime` | `lastboottime` |
| `manufacturer` | `vendorname` |
| `model` | `modelnumber` |
| `osVersion` | `osname` |
| `installedApps` | `installedsoftware` |

Not carried over (no current home in the computers schema): warranty fields, DNC
config, multi-NIC detail beyond the single primary IP, VNC/WinRM flags. The
classic reporter posts a full `networkInterfaces` array; the collector accepts
only one `ipaddress`, so pick the corp/routable NIC (see the corp-range gate in
the PowerShell below).

---

## 2. Breaking change: querystring `api_key` removed

The API key must now be sent in the `X-API-Key` header. The `?api_key=<key>`
querystring form has been removed on every collector endpoint
(`/api/collector/<plugin>`, `/pc`, `/apps`, `/heartbeat`, `/bulk`, `/status`).
Querystring keys leak into web-server access logs, proxy history, and browser
history. Header-only keeps the secret out of those logs.

Before (no longer works - the key is ignored and the request is rejected 401):

```
POST /api/collector/computers?api_key=SECRET
Content-Type: application/json

{ "hostname": "WJRP2335", "machinenumber": "2335" }
```

After (correct):

```
POST /api/collector/computers
X-API-Key: SECRET
Content-Type: application/json

{ "hostname": "WJRP2335", "machinenumber": "2335" }
```

PowerShell before/after:

```powershell
# BEFORE (broken)
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://$SiteHost/api/collector/computers?api_key=$key" `
    -Method Post -Body $json -ContentType 'application/json'

# AFTER (correct)
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://$SiteHost/api/collector/computers" `
    -Method Post -Body $json -ContentType 'application/json' `
    -Headers @{ 'X-API-Key' = $key }
```

Any caller still putting `api_key` in the URL must move it to the header.

---

## 3. GE-Enforce implementation guide

GE-Enforce is the SYSTEM-context fleet agent that runs every enforcement cycle on
each shopfloor PC (scheduled task, at-logon + periodic). It lives OUTSIDE this
repo. The facts below are drawn from the real scripts so the payload matches what
the PC already knows:

- `playbook/shopfloor-setup/common/GE-Enforce.ps1` - the enforcement pass. At the
  end of each run it writes a status JSON to
  `<share>\_outputs\logs\<hostname>\status.json` (interim transport; the fleet
  dashboard reads those files). It logs via `Write-EnforceLog` to
  `C:\Logs\Shopfloor\enforce-YYYYMMDD.log`. Its machine-number resolution is:
  registry `HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GE Aircraft Engines\Dnc\General` then
  `HKLM:\SOFTWARE\GE Aircraft Engines\Dnc\General`, property `MachineNo`,
  skipping the `9999` placeholder, then `C:\Enrollment\machine-number.txt` as
  fallback. hostname is `[System.Environment]::MachineName` (live NetBIOS name,
  not `$env:COMPUTERNAME`, which goes stale after a post-image rename).
- `playbook/shopfloor-setup/gea-shopfloor-collections/Report-AssetToShopDB.ps1` -
  the existing HTTP reporter that POSTs to the classic ASP
  `api.asp?action=updateCompleteAsset`. It runs every cycle as a `Type=PS1`
  manifest entry (DetectionMethod `Always`) under the SYSTEM task, logs to
  `C:\Logs\Shopfloor\report-asset-YYYYMMDD.log`, always exits 0, and reads the
  same machine number (reg, then `cmm\cmmid.txt`, then `machine-number.txt`) plus
  BIOS serial, OS caption, make/model, logged-in user, and corp-NIC IP from WMI.
  The function below is the direct-to-flask analogue of this reporter.
- `playbook/shopfloor-setup/Shopfloor/lib/Update-MachineNumber.ps1` - keeps the
  reg `MachineNo` and `C:\Enrollment\machine-number.txt` in sync when a tech
  reassigns a bay, so both sources agree.

### Paste-ready reporter

Drop this in as a `Type=PS1` / DetectionMethod `Always` manifest entry (mirroring
`Report-AssetToShopDB.ps1`), or dot-source `Send-ShopdbCollectorReport` from
GE-Enforce.ps1 and call it at the end of the pass. It reads the machine number
exactly the way GE-Enforce already does, builds a payload matching the computers
collector schema, and POSTs with the `X-API-Key` header over TLS 1.2. Every
field name below was checked against `get_collector_schema` in
`plugins/computers/plugin.py`.

```powershell
# Send-ShopdbCollectorReport.ps1
# Reports this PC's identity to shopdb-flask via POST /api/collector/computers.
# Runs as SYSTEM from the GE-Enforce cycle. Always exits without throwing;
# failures are logged, never fatal.

# Entry point when run as a standalone manifest PS1 entry:
Send-ShopdbCollectorReport
```

### Where the call slots into the GE-Enforce run

Put the POST at the END of the enforcement pass, after the enforcement scopes are
processed and the PC identity is settled. Two placements, pick one:

- Preferred - a sibling manifest entry, mirroring `Report-AssetToShopDB.ps1`:
  add `Send-ShopdbCollectorReport.ps1` as a `Type=PS1`, DetectionMethod `Always`
  manifest entry in `common\manifest.json`. It runs every cycle under the SYSTEM
  task, keeps GE-Enforce.ps1 untouched, and gets its own log file. This matches
  the established pattern the classic reporter already uses.
- Alternative - inline: dot-source the function and call
  `Send-ShopdbCollectorReport` inside GE-Enforce.ps1's status-write-back `try`
  block (right after `status.json` is written, near the end of the pass). Use
  this only if you want the HTTP push to share GE-Enforce's own log and lifecycle.

Either way, run it ALONGSIDE the existing `status.json` share write (and
alongside the classic `Report-AssetToShopDB.ps1`) during rollout - do not remove
the share write until the HTTP path is proven.

### Delivering the API key to clients

Do NOT hardcode the key in the script - the script itself lives on the SFLD
share, so a literal key there is effectively published to everyone with share
read. Two viable options:

1. Per-site value the machine account already reads. GE-Enforce already parses
   `C:\Enrollment\site-config.json` (its local copy of the per-site config on the
   share). Add one field, `collectorApiKey`, populated per site. The script reads
   it with the machine/SYSTEM identity it already runs as. Rotation = update the
   one config value at the site, no re-image, no script redeploy.
2. Baked at imaging into a machine-local file (`C:\Enrollment\collector-api-key.txt`)
   or an HKLM value, ACL'd to SYSTEM/Administrators, written by the enrollment
   pipeline. Tighter blast radius (the key never sits on the share at all), but
   rotation requires touching every PC or re-imaging.

Recommendation: use option 1 (`collectorApiKey` in the per-site config), matching
how GE-Enforce already sources its share paths and mirroring how SFLD credentials
are provisioned per site. It keeps the secret out of source control and off the
script, sits at the same trust boundary as everything else the SYSTEM agent
already reads, and supports rotation without a fleet touch. `Get-ShopdbCollectorApiKey`
above already prefers this and falls back to the imaging-baked file, so a site
can start on option 1 and tighten to option 2 later with no code change. The
server side pairs this with `COLLECTOR_API_KEY_COMPUTERS` (per-plugin) so the PC
fleet's key is scoped to the computers collector only.

### Staged rollout

1. Keep everything as-is: `status.json` share write + classic
   `Report-AssetToShopDB.ps1` continue running. Provision `collectorApiKey` per
   site and set `COLLECTOR_API_KEY_COMPUTERS` on the shopdb-flask server.
2. Add `Send-ShopdbCollectorReport` as a new manifest entry on a handful of pilot
   bays (one per pc-type: collections, cmm, keyence, waxtrace, ...). It logs to
   `C:\Logs\Shopfloor\collector-YYYYMMDD.log` and cannot break enforcement (it
   never throws, exits cleanly).
3. Verify on the server: pilot PCs appear/update in shopdb-flask, `action` is
   `created`/`updated`, warnings are understood (map any unmapped `pctype`, add
   any missing OS strings to the `operatingsystems` vocab). Cross-check the
   collector log's `OK` lines against the audit log.
4. Roll the manifest entry out fleet-wide (it deploys from `common\`, so every
   pc-type gets it). Continue running both the share write and the HTTP POST.
5. Once shopdb-flask is the system of record and stable across a full imaging
   cycle, retire the classic `Report-AssetToShopDB.ps1` and, if desired, the
   `status.json` share write.

## 4. Troubleshooting

| Symptom | HTTP | Cause / fix |
|---|---|---|
| `Invalid API key` | 401 | The `X-API-Key` header is missing or wrong. Confirm the client key matches `COLLECTOR_API_KEY_COMPUTERS` (or the shared `COLLECTOR_API_KEY`) on the server. Check the key is being read (`Get-ShopdbCollectorApiKey` returned non-empty). Remember the querystring form no longer works. |
| `Collector API key not configured` | 500 | Fail-closed: neither `COLLECTOR_API_KEY_COMPUTERS` nor `COLLECTOR_API_KEY` is set in the server environment. Set one and restart the app. This is a SERVER config gap, not a client problem. |
| `No collector registered for plugin computers` | 404 | The computers plugin is disabled or not loaded on that instance. Enable it. |
| `hostname is required` / `No data provided` | 400 | Empty body, non-JSON body, or missing identity field. Check `-ContentType 'application/json'` and that `hostname` is set. |
| `Internal error processing collector payload` | 500 | Generic by design - the server does not leak the cause to the caller. The real error (DB, unexpected exception) is in the server log (`Collector upsert failed for computers`). Check there. |
| `warnings` present but `action` is created/updated | 200 | Soft issues only; the row WAS written. Common: unmapped `pctype` (fix the pctypemap setting), unknown `osname` (add it to the `operatingsystems` vocab), unknown app name, `pcsubtype` not stored. No action needed unless the warning matters to you. |

Client-side log for the fleet reporter: `C:\Logs\Shopfloor\collector-YYYYMMDD.log`.
Server-side: the Flask app log (the collector logs upsert failures and per-plugin
schema failures there).
