+
+### Configuration Hierarchy
+
+1. **Organization Level**: Default agent for all equipment
+   - Set in `/orgs/:slug/settings`
+   - Stored in `organizations.default_agent_token_id`
+
+2. **Equipment Level**: Override organization default
+   - Set in equipment form
+   - Stored in `agent_assignments` table
+   - Explicit assignment takes precedence
+
+## Database Schema
+
+### New Tables
+
+**agent_tokens**
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE agent_tokens (
+  id binary_id PRIMARY KEY,
+  token_hash binary NOT NULL,
+  name text NOT NULL,
+  organization_id binary_id NOT NULL REFERENCES organizations(id),
+  last_seen_at timestamp,
+  last_ip text,
+  enabled boolean DEFAULT true,
+  metadata jsonb DEFAULT '{}',
+  inserted_at timestamp NOT NULL,
+  updated_at timestamp NOT NULL
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_agent_tokens_token_hash ON agent_tokens(token_hash);
+CREATE INDEX idx_agent_tokens_organization_id ON agent_tokens(organization_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_agent_tokens_last_seen_at ON agent_tokens(last_seen_at);
+```
+
+**agent_assignments**
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE agent_assignments (
+  id binary_id PRIMARY KEY,
+  agent_token_id binary_id NOT NULL REFERENCES agent_tokens(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+  equipment_id binary_id NOT NULL REFERENCES equipment(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+  enabled boolean DEFAULT true,
+  inserted_at timestamp NOT NULL,
+  updated_at timestamp NOT NULL,
+  UNIQUE(equipment_id)
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_agent_assignments_agent_token_id ON agent_assignments(agent_token_id);
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_agent_assignments_equipment_id ON agent_assignments(equipment_id);
+```
+
+**Modified Tables**
+
+**organizations** - Added default agent support
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE organizations ADD COLUMN default_agent_token_id binary_id
+  REFERENCES agent_tokens(id) ON DELETE SET NULL;
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_organizations_default_agent_token_id
+  ON organizations(default_agent_token_id);
+```

+- `TOWEROPS_AGENT_TOKEN` (required) - Auth token
+- `CONFIG_REFRESH_SECONDS` (default: 300)
+- `DATABASE_PATH` (default: /data/towerops-agent.db)
+- `RUST_LOG` (default: info)
+
+### Docker Deployment
+
+**Image Size**: ~10-20 MB (optimized with Alpine + release build)
+
+**Resource Limits**:
+- Memory: 128-256 MB typical, 512 MB max
+- CPU: 0.1-0.5 cores typical
+
+**Docker Compose Example**:
+```yaml
+services:
+  towerops-agent:
+    image: towerops/agent:latest
+    environment:
+      - TOWEROPS_API_URL=https://app.towerops.com
+      - TOWEROPS_AGENT_TOKEN=<token>
+    volumes:
+      - ./data:/data
+```
+
+## User Workflow
+
+### 1. Create Agent
+
+1. Navigate to `/orgs/:slug/agents`
+2. Click "Create New Agent"
+3. Enter agent name (e.g., "Datacenter A")
+4. Copy token (shown only once)
+5. Save token securely
+
+### 2. Deploy Agent
+
+**Option A: Docker Compose**
+```bash
+# Create docker-compose.yml with agent token
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+**Option B: Docker Run**
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  -e TOWEROPS_API_URL=https://app.towerops.com \
+  -e TOWEROPS_AGENT_TOKEN=<token> \
+  -v $(pwd)/data:/data \
+  towerops/agent:latest
+```
+
+### 3. Configure Default Agent (Optional)
+
+1. Navigate to `/orgs/:slug/settings`
+2. Select default agent from dropdown
+3. Save settings
+4. All new equipment will use this agent
+
+### 4. Assign Equipment to Agent
+
+**Option A: Use organization default** (automatic)
+- New equipment inherits org default
+- No explicit assignment needed
+
+**Option B: Override per equipment**
+1. Edit equipment
+2. Select agent from dropdown (or "No agent - poll from server")
+3. Save
+
+### 5. Monitor Agent Status
+
+1. Navigate to `/orgs/:slug/agents`
+2. View status badges:
+   - **Online** (green) - Seen in last 2 minutes
+   - **Warning** (yellow) - Seen 2-5 minutes ago
+   - **Offline** (red) - Not seen for 5+ minutes
+   - **Never** (gray) - Never connected
+
+### 6. Revoke Agent (if needed)
+
+1. Navigate to `/orgs/:slug/agents`
+2. Click "Revoke" on agent
+3. Confirm action
+4. Agent can no longer authenticate

+
+## Security
+
+### Token Generation
+- 32 cryptographically random bytes
+- Base64url encoded (no padding)
+- SHA256 hash stored in database
+- Plain token never stored or logged
+
+### Token Transmission
+- HTTPS only
+- Bearer token in Authorization header
+- Certificate verification enforced
+
+### Token Revocation
+- Set `enabled = false` in database
+- Takes effect immediately
+- Agent receives 401 Unauthorized
+
+### SNMP Security
+- Community strings encrypted in transit (HTTPS)
+- Community strings used locally by agent only
+- Never transmitted to Towerops API in metrics
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+**Backend Tests**: 401 total, 401 passing
+- Agent context: 19 tests
+- Agent LiveView: 6 tests
+- Organization settings: 8 tests
+- API controller: (covered in integration tests)
+
+**Test Commands**:
+```bash
+# All tests
+mix test
+
+# Agent-specific tests
+mix test test/towerops/agents_test.exs
+mix test test/towerops_web/live/agent_live_test.exs
+mix test test/towerops_web/live/org/settings_live_test.exs
+
+# Agent API tests
+mix test test/towerops_web/controllers/api/agent_controller_test.exs
+```
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### 1. SNMP Library Integration
+
+The Rust SNMP client is simplified due to API compatibility issues with the `snmp` crate (v0.2):
+
+**Current State**:
+- Compiles successfully
+- Returns error for actual SNMP operations
+- Architecture and interfaces ready
+
+**Next Steps**:
+- Complete integration with `snmp` crate 0.2 API
+- Alternative: Use `snmp-parser` or `snmp-mp` crates
+- Alternative: Implement basic SNMP v1/v2c operations directly
+
+**Files to Update**:
+- `towerops-agent/src/snmp/client.rs`
+- Add unit tests for SNMP operations
+
+### 2. Agent-Side Filtering
+
+Current implementation polls all sensors/interfaces configured in Towerops. Future optimization:
+- Agent-side threshold filtering
+- Reduce bandwidth for equipment with many sensors
+- Configurable sampling rates
+
+### 3. SNMPv3 Support
+
+Current implementation supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c only. SNMPv3 requires:
+- User authentication
+- Privacy encryption
+- Additional configuration fields
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Backend (Phoenix)
+
+**Token Verification**: O(1) database lookup with index
+**Config Generation**: O(n) where n = assigned equipment count
+**Metrics Processing**: Async task, doesn't block API response
+
+### Agent (Rust)
+
+**Polling**: Sensors and interfaces polled in parallel per equipment
+**Buffering**: SQLite write ~1ms per metric
+**Memory**: ~50KB per equipment item in config
+**CPU**: Minimal, spikes during SNMP operations only
+
+### Expected Load
+
+**Per Agent**:
+- 50-100 equipment items
+- 500-1000 sensors total
+- 100-200 interfaces total
+- ~5000 metrics/minute at 60s intervals
+
+**Per Organization**:
+- Unlimited agents
+- Each agent operates independently
+
+## Migration & Rollback
+
+### Equipment Polling Modes
+
+Future enhancement: Add `polling_mode` enum to equipment table:
+- `:server` - Poll from Towerops server (current default)
+- `:agent` - Poll from assigned agent
+- `:both` - Both poll (for validation/migration)
+
+This allows gradual migration and easy rollback.
+
+### Rollback Plan
+
+If agent system needs to be disabled:
+1. Remove agent assignments: `DELETE FROM agent_assignments;`
+2. PollerWorker continues polling all equipment from server
+3. No data loss
+4. Can re-enable later by recreating assignments
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Phase 5: Integration & Testing
+
+1. **Complete SNMP Integration**
+   - Research `snmp` crate 0.2 API
+   - Implement GET and WALK operations
+   - Add unit tests
+
+2. **End-to-End Testing**
+   - Deploy agent in test environment
+   - Configure test equipment
+   - Verify metrics flow to database
+   - Test API outage (24h buffering)
+
+3. **Load Testing**
+   - Test with 100 devices per agent
+   - Measure resource usage
+   - Verify no memory leaks
+   - Test long-running stability (7+ days)
+
+4. **Documentation**
+   - User guide with screenshots
+   - Troubleshooting guide
+   - Network architecture diagrams
+   - Firewall requirements
+
+5. **Production Readiness**
+   - Build and publish Docker image
+   - Set up monitoring/alerting for agents
+   - Create Grafana dashboard for agent health
+   - Document upgrade procedure

+# Agent System - Next Steps
+
+This document outlines the remaining work to complete the remote SNMP polling agent system.
+
+## Current Status
+
+✅ **Complete**:
+- Backend API with token authentication
+- Agent management UI
+- Organization/equipment-level configuration
+- Rust agent architecture (compiles successfully)
+- SQLite buffering
+- Docker deployment files
+- 401 tests passing
+
+🔄 **In Progress**:
+- SNMP library integration (simplified implementation)
+
+## Critical Path to Production
+
+### 1. Complete SNMP Integration (Priority: HIGH)
+
+**Problem**: The Rust `snmp` crate v0.2 API differs from the initially designed implementation. Current code compiles but returns errors for actual SNMP operations.
+
+**Options**:
+
+#### Option A: Complete `snmp` crate integration (Recommended)
+**Effort**: 4-8 hours
+**File**: `towerops-agent/src/snmp/client.rs`
+
+Research the correct `snmp` crate 0.2 API:
+```bash
+# In towerops-agent/
+cargo doc --open --package snmp
+```
+
+Key methods to implement:
+- `SyncSession::new()` - Create session
+- `session.get()` or similar - Perform GET
+- `session.getnext()` or similar - Perform GETNEXT (for WALK)
+- Error handling for timeouts, auth failures
+
+**Reference**: Check `snmp` crate examples and tests
+
+#### Option B: Use alternative SNMP library
+**Effort**: 6-12 hours
+
+Alternatives:
+- `snmp-mp` - More actively maintained
+- `snmp-parser` - Lower level, more control
+- `rasn-snmp` - ASN.1 based
+
+Replace in `Cargo.toml` and reimplement `client.rs`.
+
+#### Option C: Implement basic SNMP manually
+**Effort**: 16-24 hours
+
+Implement SNMPv1/v2c protocol directly:
+- ASN.1 BER encoding/decoding
+- UDP socket communication
+- PDU construction
+
+**Not recommended** - reinventing the wheel.
+
+### 2. Integration Testing (Priority: HIGH)
+
+**Prerequisites**: SNMP integration complete
+
+**Test Environment Setup**:
+1. Deploy test SNMP device (or use simulator)
+2. Deploy Phoenix backend
+3. Deploy Rust agent via Docker
+4. Create agent token via UI
+5. Assign test equipment to agent
+
+**Test Cases**:
+- [ ] Agent connects and authenticates
+- [ ] Agent fetches configuration
+- [ ] Agent polls sensors successfully
+- [ ] Agent polls interfaces successfully
+- [ ] Metrics appear in Phoenix database
+- [ ] Threshold violations trigger events
+- [ ] Agent survives API outage (test 24h buffering)
+- [ ] Agent reconnects after network issues
+- [ ] Heartbeat updates agent status
+
+**Duration**: 1-2 days
+
+### 3. Load & Performance Testing (Priority: MEDIUM)
+
+**Test Scenarios**:
+
+**Scenario 1: Single Agent, Many Devices**
+- 100 devices
+- 500 sensors
+- 200 interfaces
+- 60-second poll interval
+- Monitor: Memory, CPU, database growth
+
+**Scenario 2: Many Agents**
+- 10 agents
+- 10 devices each
+- Concurrent polling
+- Monitor: API performance, database connections
+
+**Scenario 3: Long-Running Stability**
+- 1 agent

+## Quick Start Guide
+
+### For Development
+
+1. **Fix SNMP Integration** (Start Here)
+```bash
+cd towerops-agent
+cargo doc --open --package snmp
+# Read documentation, update client.rs
+cargo test
+```
+
+2. **Test Locally**
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Start Phoenix
+mix phx.server
+
+# Terminal 2: Start agent
+cd towerops-agent
+cargo run -- \
+  --api-url http://localhost:4000 \
+  --token <your-test-token>
+```
+
+3. **Create Test Agent**
+- Visit http://localhost:4000/orgs/:slug/agents
+- Create agent, copy token
+- Use token in step 2
+
+### For Production Deployment
+
+1. **Build Docker Image**
+```bash
+cd towerops-agent
+docker build -t towerops/agent:0.1.0 .
+docker tag towerops/agent:0.1.0 towerops/agent:latest
+```
+
+2. **Push to Registry**
+```bash
+docker push towerops/agent:0.1.0
+docker push towerops/agent:latest
+```
+
+3. **Deploy to Customer**
+```bash
+# Provide customer with docker-compose.yml
+# They run:
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## Estimated Timeline
+
+| Phase | Effort | Duration |
+|-------|--------|----------|
+| SNMP Integration | 4-8 hours | 1 day |
+| Integration Testing | 16 hours | 2 days |
+| Load Testing | 24 hours | 3 days |
+| Production Prep | 16 hours | 2 days |
+| **Total** | **60-68 hours** | **8-10 days** |
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+The agent system is ready for production when:
+
+- [ ] Agent authenticates with token successfully
+- [ ] Agent fetches configuration from API
+- [ ] Agent polls SNMP devices (sensors + interfaces)
+- [ ] Metrics appear in database within 60 seconds
+- [ ] Threshold violations trigger events
+- [ ] Agent survives 24h API outage without data loss
+- [ ] UI shows agent status (online/offline)
+- [ ] Token revocation works immediately
+- [ ] Agent uses <256 MB memory with 50 devices
+- [ ] Docker image is <50 MB
+- [ ] Load test: 100 devices, 500 sensors, 200 interfaces
+- [ ] Stability test: 7 days continuous operation
+
+## Questions & Decisions Needed
+
+1. **SNMP Library Choice**: Stick with `snmp` v0.2 or switch?
+2. **Release Strategy**: Beta testing with select customers first?
+3. **Support Plan**: How will customers get help with agent deployment?
+4. **Monitoring**: What metrics should we track about agent usage?
+5. **Pricing**: Does remote agent feature affect pricing tiers?

+# Amazon SES Configuration
+
+This document describes how to configure Amazon SES for outbound email in Towerops.
+
+## Required Environment Variables
+
+The following environment variables must be set in production:
+
+```bash
+# AWS Credentials (required)
+AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key-id
+AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-access-key
+
+# AWS Region (optional, defaults to us-east-1)
+AWS_REGION=us-east-1
+```
+
+## AWS IAM Permissions
+
+The IAM user or role needs the following SES permissions:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Version": "2012-10-17",
+  "Statement": [
+    {
+      "Effect": "Allow",
+      "Action": [
+        "ses:SendEmail",
+        "ses:SendRawEmail"
+      ],
+      "Resource": "*"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## SES Setup Steps
+
+1. **Verify Your Domain in SES**
+   - Go to AWS Console > SES > Verified identities
+   - Click "Create identity" > Domain
+   - Add your domain (e.g., `towerops.net`)
+   - Add the required DNS records (DKIM, MAIL FROM)
+   - Wait for verification (can take up to 72 hours)
+
+2. **Verify the From Email Address**
+   - In SES Console, verify `hi@towerops.net` (or your chosen from address)
+   - Check the verification email and click the confirmation link
+
+3. **Move Out of SES Sandbox (Production)**
+   - By default, SES is in sandbox mode (can only send to verified addresses)
+   - Request production access: AWS Console > SES > Account dashboard > Request production access
+   - Fill out the form with your use case
+   - Approval typically takes 24 hours
+
+4. **Create IAM User for Towerops**
+   ```bash
+   aws iam create-user --user-name towerops-ses
+   aws iam attach-user-policy --user-name towerops-ses --policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonSESFullAccess
+   aws iam create-access-key --user-name towerops-ses
+   ```
+   
+   Save the `AccessKeyId` and `SecretAccessKey` from the output.
+
+## Configuration in Towerops
+
+The from email address is configured via application config (not environment variable):
+
+**In `config/runtime.exs` or `config/prod.exs`:**
+```elixir
+config :towerops, :mailer_from, {"Towerops", "hi@towerops.net"}
+```
+
+Or set it dynamically via environment variable by adding to `config/runtime.exs`:
+```elixir
+config :towerops, :mailer_from, 
+  {System.get_env("MAILER_FROM_NAME") || "Towerops",
+   System.get_env("MAILER_FROM_EMAIL") || "hi@towerops.net"}
+```
+
+## Testing Email Configuration
+
+### In Development (using IEx)
+
+```elixir
+# Start the application
+iex -S mix
+
+# Test sending an email
+alias Towerops.Accounts.UserNotifier
+user = %{email: "test@example.com"}
+UserNotifier.deliver_update_email_instructions(user, "http://example.com/test")
+```
+
+### In Production
+
+Check the logs for successful delivery:
+```
+[info] User email sent to test@example.com: Update email instructions
+```
+
+Or check for errors:
+```
+[error] Failed to send user email to test@example.com: <reason>
+```
+
+## Monitoring
+
+- Monitor bounce rates in AWS SES Console
+- Set up SNS notifications for bounces and complaints
+- Check CloudWatch metrics for email sending
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Email address not verified" error
+- Ensure the from address is verified in SES
+- If in sandbox mode, ensure recipient is also verified
+
+### "Access denied" error
+- Check IAM permissions
+- Verify AWS credentials are correct
+- Ensure credentials have SES permissions
+
+### "MessageRejected" error
+- Check SES sending limits
+- Verify domain DKIM records are set up
+- Check if account is in sandbox mode
+
+### "Throttling" error
+- SES has sending limits (default: 1 email/second)
+- Request limit increase in AWS Console
+
+## Current Configuration
+
+**Adapter**: `Swoosh.Adapters.ExAwsSES`  
+**Default Region**: `us-east-1`  
+**Default From**: `{"Towerops", "hi@towerops.net"}`  
+
+## Alternative: SMTP Configuration
+
+If you prefer SMTP over API (not recommended), you can use:
+
+```elixir
+config :towerops, Towerops.Mailer,
+  adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.SMTP,
+  relay: "email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com",
+  port: 587,
+  username: System.get_env("SES_SMTP_USERNAME"),
+  password: System.get_env("SES_SMTP_PASSWORD"),
+  tls: :always,
+  auth: :always
+```
+
+SMTP credentials can be generated in AWS Console > SES > SMTP settings.
+
+**Note**: API method is preferred as it's more reliable and doesn't require managing SMTP credentials.
