# Security & Health Check Agent Implementation Guide ## Overview The Security & Health Check Agent (`securityHealthCheckAgent.ts`) provides automated, comprehensive infrastructure analysis through a single unified tool: `generate_security_health_report`. This agent ensures consistent, thorough reporting across all security and health check requests. ## What It Does When triggered, the agent automatically orchestrates **13+ data collection phases** in parallel: 1. ✅ **Collects Alarms** - Active critical, warning, and info alarms across all infrastructure 2. ✅ **Analyzes Advisories** - Technical advisories, field notices, CVEs from TAM (both definitions and instances) 3. ✅ **Checks Firmware** - Current versions, updates, EOL status, inconsistencies across all components 4. ✅ **Assesses Hardware** - Real-time processor, memory, drives, PSUs, fans health from live data 5. ✅ **Monitors Thermal** - Temperature data from all compute resources with thresholds 6. ✅ **Tracks Power** - Power allocation and consumption across infrastructure 7. ✅ **Evaluates Security** - TPM status, Secure Boot configuration, license compliance 8. ✅ **Reviews Compliance** - Policy adherence, certified OS versions, HyperFlex compatibility 9. ✅ **Analyzes Performance** - Top CPU, memory, and power consumers with real resource data 10. ✅ **Generates Scores** - Overall, security, health, and compliance scores (0-100) 11. ✅ **Categorizes Issues** - Problems sorted by severity (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW) 12. ✅ **Recommends Actions** - Four-tier guidance (Immediate, Short-term, Medium-term, Long-term) 13. ✅ **Provides Context** - Server-to-MOID resolution and infrastructure overview ## Current Implementation ### Tool Registration The agent is implemented as a single comprehensive tool: ```typescript { name: 'generate_security_health_report', description: 'Generate a comprehensive security and health check report for the entire Intersight infrastructure. Analyzes alarms, advisories, CVEs, firmware, hardware health, security posture, compliance, and performance. Returns actionable recommendations prioritized by urgency.', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, }, } ``` ### Agent Status ✅ **ACTIVE**: The agent is currently implemented and deployed ✅ **CORE TOOLS**: Available in both core (66 tools) and all (199+ tools) modes ✅ **PRODUCTION READY**: Includes comprehensive error handling and null safety ✅ **REAL-TIME DATA**: Pulls live data from 16+ Intersight API endpoints ### Data Collection Process The agent performs parallel data collection from these endpoints: ```typescript const [ alarms, // /condition/AlarmSummaries advisoryCount, // /tam/AdvisoryCounts advisories, // /tam/AdvisoryDefinitions advisoryInstances, // /tam/AdvisoryInstances firmware, // /firmware/RunningFirmwares operatingSystems, // /hcl/OperatingSystems licenses, // /license/LicenseInfos tpms, // /equipment/Tpms bootSecurity, // /boot/DeviceBootSecurities policies, // Multiple policy endpoints hyperflexCompat, // /hcl/HyperflexSoftwareCompatibilityInfos processors, // /processor/Units memoryUnits, // /memory/Units physicalDrives, // /storage/PhysicalDisks psuUnits, // /equipment/Psus fanModules, // /equipment/FanModules ] = await Promise.all([...]); // Additional thermal and performance data const thermalData = await this.apiService.get('/compute/PhysicalSummaries?$select=Moid,Name,Temperature'); const powerData = await this.apiService.get('/compute/PhysicalSummaries?$select=Moid,Name,AllocatedPower,PowerState'); const topCpuServers = await this.apiService.get('/compute/PhysicalSummaries?$top=5&$orderby=CpuCapacity desc'); const topMemServers = await this.apiService.get('/compute/PhysicalSummaries?$top=5&$orderby=TotalMemory desc'); const topPowerServers = await this.apiService.get('/compute/PhysicalSummaries?$top=5&$orderby=AllocatedPower desc'); ``` ### Error Handling The implementation includes comprehensive error handling: - All API calls wrapped in `.catch()` with fallback empty results - Null safety checks throughout data processing - Graceful degradation when endpoints are unavailable - Status field indicates SUCCESS/PARTIAL/ERROR based on data completeness ## Report Structure ### Executive Summary - **overallScore** (0-100): Combined security, health, and compliance - **securityScore**: Based on advisories, CVEs, licenses, TPM - **healthScore**: Based on alarms, hardware failures, thermal/power status - **complianceScore**: Based on policies and OS certification - **criticalCount**: Total critical findings - **warningCount**: Total warning findings ### Alarms Section ```json { "critical": 2, "warning": 5, "info": 12, "topAlarms": [ { "id": "alarm-123", "description": "CPU temperature critical", "severity": "Critical" } ] } ``` ### Advisories Section ```json { "critical": 1, "warning": 3, "info": 8, "securityAdvisories": 2, "fieldNotices": 1, "topAdvisories": [ { "id": "adv-456", "title": "CVE-2024-xxxxx affecting CIMC", "type": "securityAdvisory" } ] } ``` ### Firmware Section ```json { "components": 25, "currentlySupported": 20, "outdated": 4, "endOfLife": 1, "updateRecommendations": [ { "component": "CIMC", "currentVersion": "3.1.2", "recommendedVersion": "4.0.1", "securityCritical": true } ] } ``` ### Security Section ```json { "tpmStatus": "PRESENT", "secureBootEnabled": true, "licenseCompliance": "COMPLIANT", "expiredLicenses": 0, "expiringLicenses": 2, "managementControllersUnreachable": 0 } ``` ### Recommendations Section ```json { "immediate": [ "Resolve 2 critical alarms immediately", "Apply critical security firmware updates", "Address 1 critical security advisory" ], "shortTerm": [ "Update 4 outdated firmware components", "Enable Secure Boot on all servers", "Renew 2 licenses expiring soon" ], "mediumTerm": [ "Implement automated firmware update policy", "Establish formal security patch management process" ], "longTerm": [ "Plan infrastructure modernization", "Implement infrastructure-as-code" ] } ``` ### Issues Section ```json [ { "id": "ALM-1", "category": "HARDWARE", "severity": "CRITICAL", "title": "2 critical alarms active", "description": "There are 2 unresolved critical alarms", "affectedResources": [], "remediation": "Review and resolve each critical alarm" }, { "id": "SEC-1", "category": "SECURITY", "severity": "CRITICAL", "title": "2 security advisories requiring attention", "description": "2 CVE or security advisories detected", "affectedResources": [], "remediation": "Apply latest security patches and firmware updates" } ] ``` ## Usage Examples ### User Request ``` "Generate a security report for our infrastructure" ``` ### Agent Response Returns a comprehensive `SecurityHealthCheckResult` with: - Overall security score (85/100) - 2 critical security advisories requiring attention - 4 firmware updates including 1 security-critical - License compliance status - Immediate, short-term, and long-term recommendations ### User Request ``` "Is our infrastructure healthy?

User-configurable alert thresholds and scoring weights 5. **Export Formats** - PDF, Excel, HTML report generation 6. **Webhook Integration** - Real-time notifications for critical findings 7. **Comparison Reports** - Infrastructure state comparison over time ## Security Considerations 1. **Data Sensitivity** - Reports contain infrastructure details 2. **Access Control** - Restrict report generation to authorized users 3. **Retention Policy** - Define how long reports are stored 4. **Audit Logging** - Log all report requests 5. **Encryption** - Store sensitive data encrypted ## Troubleshooting ### Agent returns empty data - Check API credentials and connectivity - Verify user has required Intersight permissions - Review console logs for API errors ### Scores seem incorrect - Verify all data sources are providing complete information - Check scoring algorithm thresholds - Review sample report data ### Report takes too long to generate - Check network latency to Intersight - Consider running in off-peak hours - Reduce report scope if available ## References - **Source Code**: [securityHealthCheckAgent.ts](src/services/securityHealthCheckAgent.ts) -
