Iteration Log - 2026-07-08-1644-n

• Trigger: n (next)
• Requested: Implement next enhancement task in order (Task 4.1).
• Touched Sections: Threat Intelligence & Audit (Task 4.1).

Implementation Detail

1. Event Schema: Registered EventSchema (and AppCategoryStatSchema for future alignment) in backend/models/Schemas.js and proxy/models/Schemas.js.
2. In-Proxy Fetcher: Added fetchEvents (and fetchTopAppCategories) to proxy/netifyClient.js pointing to the /event/events endpoint, parsing raw JSON labels and severity categories.
3. Proxy Database Ingestion: Integrated MongoDB ingestion in proxy/collector.js to insert up to 100 recent events on every 5-minute schedule.
4. Backend Route Refactor: Refactored the GET /events route in backend/routes/dashboard.js to query MongoDB events collection, and updated the /summary route to dynamically count these documents to show distinct Events count in the dashboard header card.
5. Build Verification: Ran Next.js build (npm run build) which succeeded with no errors.
6. Database Verification: Verified using a local script that MongoDB has successfully ingested 500 system events and 52 categories across the active Network Agents.

Current State

All system events shown on the Events page (/events) and in the top-right header log list are now derived from the actual live Netify API log (e.g., New device Agent Device discovered), replacing the simulated flow threat items. The Overview page Events card now correctly displays the realtime system event count, completely decoupled from the Threats count.

Considerations for next time

• In next runs (n/next), we can target task 2.1 to connect the newly ingested AppCategoryStat data into the Traffic Categories page (/network-intelligence) to replace the simulated app name group-by fields.
