9. GAPS IN FUNCTIONALITY & RECOMMENDATIONS
Critical Gaps
1. API Key Security β οΈ CRITICAL
Issue: API keys hardcoded in source and config files Risk: Exposure in git history, logs, error messages Recommendation:
1. Move all API keys to .env file (not in git)
2. Use environment variables only
3. Implement key rotation system
4. Add audit logging for key usage
5. Use secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)
2. Authentication Missing β οΈ CRITICAL
Issue: No user authentication on dashboards or APIs Risk: Unauthorized access to sensitive monitoring data Recommendation:
1. Implement JWT or OAuth2 authentication
2. Add user roles (admin, viewer, editor)
3. Implement API key generation for programmatic access
4. Add request signing with HMAC
5. Implement rate limiting per user
3. Database Backup β οΈ HIGH
Issue: No backup/restore procedures Risk: Data loss if database corrupted Recommendation:
1. Implement daily SQLite backups
2. Add backup rotation (keep 30 days)
