💻 Schema Examples

Host Table Structure

Core Host Information

CREATE TABLE hosts (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
    fqdn VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
    platform VARCHAR(50),
    platform_version VARCHAR(100),
    architecture VARCHAR(50),
    cpu_count INTEGER,
    memory_gb NUMERIC(10,2),
    last_seen TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
    active BOOLEAN DEFAULT true,
    approval_status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'pending',
    enabled_shells JSONB,
    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    updated_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Indexes for performance
CREATE INDEX idx_hosts_fqdn ON hosts(fqdn);
CREATE INDEX idx_hosts_active ON hosts(active);
CREATE INDEX idx_hosts_platform ON hosts(platform, platform_version);
CREATE INDEX idx_hosts_last_seen ON hosts(last_seen);
                

Package Operation Tracking

Package Management History

CREATE TABLE package_operations (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
    host_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES hosts(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    operation_type VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
    package_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    package_version VARCHAR(100),
    status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'pending',
    started_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    completed_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
    execution_log TEXT,
    error_message TEXT
);

-- Composite index for efficient queries
CREATE INDEX idx_pkg_ops_host_status ON package_operations(host_id, status);
CREATE INDEX idx_pkg_ops_package ON package_operations(package_name, operation_type);
                

Message Queue Implementation

Persistent Message Storage

CREATE TABLE message_queue (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
    target_host_id UUID REFERENCES hosts(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    message_type VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    message_content JSONB NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    expires_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
    delivered_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
    status VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'pending',
    retry_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
    last_retry_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
);

-- Indexes for message processing
CREATE INDEX idx_msg_queue_target ON message_queue(target_host_id, status);
CREATE INDEX idx_msg_queue_expires ON message_queue(expires_at);
CREATE INDEX idx_msg_queue_type ON message_queue(message_type);
