Fix: Initialize logs table on startup

- Add init_logs_table() function to create logs table schema
- Call init_logs_table() on application startup
- Fixes 'no such table: logs' error when accessing dashboard
- Tables now created automatically before routes are accessed

+# Ansible Integration for Server_Monitorizare
+
+This directory contains Ansible playbooks and configuration for managing Prezenta Work devices remotely.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Ansible integration replaces direct HTTP command execution with a more robust, scalable solution:
+
+### **Before (HTTP-based)**
+```
+Server → HTTP Request → Device (/execute_command endpoint)
+Problems:
+- No idempotency
+- Hard to track what happened
+- No built-in error recovery
+- Limited command execution control
+```
+
+### **After (Ansible-based)**
+```
+Server → Ansible Playbook → Device (SSH)
+Benefits:
+- Idempotent operations
+- Comprehensive logging
+- Built-in error handling & retry logic
+- Structured playbooks
+- Multi-device orchestration
+- Backup and rollback capability
+```
+
+## Files
+
+### Configuration
+- **inventory.ini** - Defines all devices, groups, and variables
+
+### Playbooks
+- **deploy.yml** - Deploy application updates (pull from git, restart service)
+- **commands.yml** - Execute arbitrary commands on devices
+- **system_update.yml** - System maintenance (OS updates, health checks)
+
+### Python Integration
+- **ansible_integration.py** - Python module for Ansible automation
+- **utils_ansible.py** - Updated utilities using Ansible (replaces old utils.py)
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Install Ansible on Server
+
+```bash
+# On Server_Monitorizare (Ubuntu/Debian)
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install -y ansible
+
+# Verify installation
+ansible --version
+```
+
+### 2. Configure Inventory
+
+Edit `inventory.ini` and add your devices:
+
+```ini
+[prezenta_devices]
+device_1 ansible_host=192.168.1.20
+device_2 ansible_host=192.168.1.21
+device_3 ansible_host=192.168.1.22
+```
+
+### 3. Setup SSH Keys (Optional but Recommended)
+
+For password-less authentication:
+
+```bash
+# Generate SSH keys if not present
+ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -N ""
+
+# Copy public key to each device
+ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub pi@192.168.1.20
+ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub pi@192.168.1.21
+ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub pi@192.168.1.22
+```
+
+Update inventory.ini to use SSH key auth:
+```ini
+[all:vars]
+ansible_user=pi
+ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/id_rsa
+ansible_ssh_common_args='-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no'
+```
+
+### 4. Test Connectivity
+
+```bash
+# Test all devices
+ansible all -i inventory.ini -m ping
+
+# Test specific group
+ansible prezenta_devices -i inventory.ini -m ping
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### From Command Line
+
+#### Deploy Updates
+```bash
+# Deploy dev branch to all devices
+ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini deploy.yml \
+  -e git_branch=dev \
+  -e backup_before_deploy=true \
+  -e restart_service=true
+
+# Deploy to specific device
+ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini deploy.yml \
+  --limit device_1 \
+  -e git_branch=dev
+```
+
+#### Execute Commands
+```bash
+# Execute command on all devices
+ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini commands.yml \
+  -e command="ps aux | grep prezenta"
+
+# Execute on specific device
+ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini commands.yml \
+  --limit device_1 \
+  -e command="systemctl status prezenta"
+```
+
+#### System Update
+```bash
+# Update Python packages and perform health check
+ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini system_update.yml \
+  -e update_python_packages=true \
+  -e perform_health_check=true
+
+# Also update OS packages
+ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini system_update.yml \
+  -e update_os_packages=true \
+  -e update_python_packages=true \
+  -e perform_health_check=true
+```
+
+### From Python Code
+
+```python
+from utils_ansible import (
+    deploy_updates_to_device,
+    deploy_updates_to_all_devices,
+    execute_command_on_device,
+    system_update_device,
+    get_device_status,
+    get_execution_logs
+)
+
+# Deploy to specific device
+result = deploy_updates_to_device('device_1', git_branch='dev')
+print(result)
+
+# Deploy to all devices
+result = deploy_updates_to_all_devices(git_branch='dev')
+print(result)
+
+# Execute command
+result = execute_command_on_device('device_1', 'systemctl status prezenta')
+print(result)
+
+# System update
+result = system_update_device('device_1', update_python=True, health_check=True)
+print(result)
+
+# Get device status
+result = get_device_status('device_1')
+print(result)
+
+# Get recent logs
+logs = get_execution_logs(limit=10)
+print(logs)
+```
+
+### In Flask Routes
+
+Update your Flask routes to use the new Ansible-based utilities:
+
+```python
+from flask import request, jsonify
+from utils_ansible import (
+    deploy_updates_to_device,
+    execute_command_on_device,
+    get_device_status
+)
+
+@app.route('/api/deploy', methods=['POST'])
+def deploy_api():
+    data = request.json
+    device = data.get('device')
+    branch = data.get('branch', 'dev')
+    
+    result = deploy_updates_to_device(device, git_branch=branch)
+    return jsonify(result)
+
+@app.route('/api/command', methods=['POST'])
+def command_api():
+    data = request.json
+    device = data.get('device')
+    command = data.get('command')
+    
+    result = execute_command_on_device(device, command)
+    return jsonify(result)
+
+@app.route('/api/device/<device>/status', methods=['GET'])
+def device_status_api(device):
+    result = get_device_status(device)
+    return jsonify(result)
+```
+
+## Playbook Details
+
+### deploy.yml
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Backs up current code (optional)
+2. Fetches latest from git repository
+3. Checks out specified branch
+4. Pulls latest changes
+5. Verifies syntax
+6. Restarts application service
+7. Verifies service is running
+8. Logs deployment
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+ansible-playbook deploy.yml -e git_branch=dev -e backup_before_deploy=true
+```
+
+**Output Locations:**
+- Backups: `/srv/prezenta_work/backups/`
+- Logs: `./logs/deploy_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log`
+
+### commands.yml
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Executes command with specified user
+2. Captures output and errors
+3. Logs command in device's command history
+4. Returns result
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+ansible-playbook commands.yml -e command="sudo systemctl restart prezenta"
+```
+
+**Output Locations:**
+- Logs: `./logs/command_DEVICE_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log`
+- Device log: `/srv/prezenta_work/data/command_history.log`
+
+### system_update.yml
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Gathers system facts
+2. Updates OS packages (optional)
+3. Updates Python packages
+4. Checks service status
+5. Performs health checks (disk, memory, CPU temp)
+6. Logs results
+7. Reboots if needed (optional)
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+ansible-playbook system_update.yml \
+  -e update_os_packages=false \
+  -e update_python_packages=true \
+  -e perform_health_check=true
+```
+
+**Output Locations:**
+- Logs: `./logs/system_update_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log`
+- Device log: `/srv/prezenta_work/data/system_update.log`
+
+## Execution Logs
+
+Logs are stored in `ansible/logs/` directory:
+
+```bash
+# View recent logs
+ls -lht ansible/logs/ | head -10
+
+# Follow live deployment
+tail -f ansible/logs/deploy_*.log
+
+# Search logs
+grep "error\|fail" ansible/logs/*.log
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### SSH Connection Issues
+
+```bash
+# Test SSH manually
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa pi@192.168.1.20
+
+# Test with verbose output
+ansible device_1 -i inventory.ini -m ping -vvv
+```
+
+### Ansible Module Errors
+
+```bash
+# Run with increased verbosity
+ansible-playbook deploy.yml -vvv
+```
+
+### Device Not Found in Inventory
+
+```bash
+# List all hosts
+ansible all -i inventory.ini --list-hosts
+
+# List specific group
+ansible prezenta_devices -i inventory.ini --list-hosts
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **SSH Keys**: Use SSH key authentication instead of passwords
+2. **Inventory**: Don't commit inventory.ini with passwords to git
+3. **Ansible Vault**: Use for sensitive data:
+   ```bash
+   ansible-vault create secrets.yml
+   ansible-playbook deploy.yml -e @secrets.yml --ask-vault-pass
+   ```
+
+4. **Firewall**: Ensure SSH (port 22) is open on devices
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Parallel Execution**: Run playbooks on multiple devices
+   ```bash
+   ansible-playbook deploy.yml --forks 5
+   ```
+
+2. **Task Caching**: Avoid unnecessary updates
+   ```bash
+   # Playbooks already use idempotent operations
+   ```
+
+3. **Logging**: Monitor log files for issues
+   ```bash
+   # Compress old logs
+   gzip ansible/logs/deploy_*.log
+   ```
+
+## Migration from HTTP Commands
+
+**Old (HTTP-based):**
+```python
+def execute_command_on_device(device_ip, command):
+    url = f"http://{device_ip}:80/execute_command"
+    response = requests.post(url, json={"command": command})
+    return response.json()
+```
+
+**New (Ansible-based):**
+```python
+from utils_ansible import execute_command_on_device
+
+result = execute_command_on_device('device_hostname', command)
+return result
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Install Ansible on Server_Monitorizare
+2. Configure inventory.ini with your devices
+3. Set up SSH key authentication
+4. Test connectivity with `ansible all -m ping`
+5. Create first deployment
+6. Update Flask routes to use new utils_ansible
+7. Monitor logs in `ansible/logs/`

+# 📊 Server Monitorizare Analysis - Executive Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+Your Flask-based device monitoring application has **10 major areas for improvement**. This document summarizes the analysis and provides actionable recommendations.
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Key Findings
+
+### ✅ What's Working Well
+- ✓ SQL queries use parameterized statements (prevents SQL injection)
+- ✓ Database schema is normalized
+- ✓ Threading used for bulk operations
+- ✓ Clean separation of concerns (routes, database, UI)
+- ✓ Responsive HTML templates with Bootstrap
+
+### 🔴 Critical Issues (Fix First)
+1. **No Authentication** - Anyone can access/modify any data
+2. **No Logging** - Using print() instead of proper logging
+3. **Inconsistent Error Handling** - Different error formats everywhere
+4. **Monolithic Code Structure** - All 462 lines in one file
+5. **Minimal Input Validation** - Only checks if fields exist
+
+### 🟠 High Priority Issues
+6. No connection pooling for database
+7. Basic threading without resource limits
+8. No pagination (memory issues at scale)
+9. Missing CORS/rate limiting
+10. No automated backups
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Impact Assessment
+
+| Issue | Current Impact | Risk Level | Fix Effort |
+|-------|---|---|---|
+| No Auth | Security breach | 🔴 Critical | Medium |
+| No Logging | Cannot debug prod issues | 🔴 Critical | Low |
+| Error handling | Unreliable error responses | 🟠 High | Low |
+| Code structure | Hard to maintain/test | 🟠 High | Medium |
+| Input validation | Data integrity issues | 🟠 High | Low |
+| DB connections | Degrades under load | 🟡 Medium | Medium |
+| Threading | Resource exhaustion | 🟡 Medium | Medium |
+| No pagination | Out of memory at scale | 🟡 Medium | Low |
+| No rate limit | Can be abused | 🟡 Medium | Low |

+## 🔧 Current vs Recommended
+
+### Architecture - Before
+```
+requests → Flask (462 lines) → SQLite
+           (No auth, print logs)
+```
+
+### Architecture - After
+```
+requests
+  ↓
+[Auth Layer] ← validate API key
+  ↓
+[Request Logging] ← log all requests
+  ↓
+[Blueprints] ← modular routes
+  ├── logs.py
+  ├── devices.py
+  └── commands.py
+  ↓
+[Services] ← business logic
+  ↓
+[Database] ← connection pooling
+  ↓
+[Cache Layer] ← Redis/Memory
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎓 Code Examples Provided
+
+### Example 1: Configuration Management
+```python
+# Before: Hardcoded values
+DATABASE = 'data/database.db'
+PORT = 80
+
+# After: Environment-based
+from config import get_config
+config = get_config()
+database = config.DATABASE_PATH
+port = config.PORT
+```
+
+### Example 2: Authentication
+```python
+# Before: No protection
+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+def log_event():
+    # Anyone can submit logs!
+
+# After: Protected
+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+@require_auth  # Checks X-API-Key header
+def log_event():
+    # Only authorized clients
+```
+
+### Example 3: Error Handling
+```python
+# Before: Inconsistent
+return {"error": "message"}, 400
+return jsonify({"error": message}), 500
+
+# After: Standardized
+from utils import error_response
+return error_response("message", 400)
+```
+
+### Example 4: Logging
+```python
+# Before: Debug output
+print(f"Database error: {e}")
+
+# After: Proper logging with levels
+logger.error(f"Database error: {e}", exc_info=True)
+```
+
+### Example 5: Input Validation
+```python
+# Before: Only existence check
+if not hostname:
+    return error, 400
+
+# After: Format & length validation
+if not re.match(r'^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$', hostname):
+    raise APIError("Invalid format", 400)
+if len(hostname) > 255:
+    raise APIError("Too long", 400)
+```

+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+@app.route('/log', methods=['POST'])
+def log_event():
+    try:
+        # Get the JSON payload
+        data = request.json
+        if not data:
+            return {"error": "Invalid or missing JSON payload"}, 400
+        
+        # Extract fields - NO VALIDATION
+        hostname = data.get('hostname')
+        device_ip = data.get('device_ip')
+        # ... anyone can access this!
+```
+
+### ✅ AFTER (With Authentication & Validation)
+```python
+@logs_bp.route('', methods=['POST'])
+@require_auth                                    # NEW: Requires API key
+@log_request                                     # NEW: Logs request
+@validate_required_fields(['hostname', 'device_ip'])  # NEW: Validates fields
+def log_event():
+    try:
+        data = request.get_json()
+        
+        # Validate and sanitize
+        hostname = sanitize_hostname(data['hostname'])  # NEW: Format validation
+        if not validate_ip_address(data['device_ip']):  # NEW: IP validation
+            raise APIError("Invalid IP address", 400)
+        
+        # Now protected and validated!
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Only authorized clients can submit logs
+- ✅ Input is validated before processing
+- ✅ All requests are logged for audit trail
+- ✅ Clear error messages
+
+---
+
+## 2. Error Handling
+
+### ❌ BEFORE (Inconsistent Error Responses)
+```python
+def log_event():
+    try:
+        if not data:
+            return {"error": "Invalid or missing JSON payload"}, 400  # Format 1
+        
+        if not hostname:
+            return {"error": "Missing required fields"}, 400           # Format 2
+        
+        # ...
+    except sqlite3.Error as e:
+        return {"error": f"Database connection failed: {e}"}, 500     # Format 3
+    except Exception as e:
+        return {"error": "An unexpected error occurred"}, 500         # Format 4
+```
+
+### ✅ AFTER (Standardized Error Responses)
+```python
+def log_event():
+    try:
+        if not data:
+            raise APIError("Invalid or missing JSON payload", 400)    # Unified format
+        
+        if not hostname:
+            raise APIError("Missing required fields", 400)            # Same format
+        
+        # ...
+    except APIError as e:
+        logger.error(f"API Error: {e.message}")
+        return error_response(e.message, e.status_code)               # Consistent!
+    except sqlite3.Error as e:
+        logger.error(f"Database error: {e}", exc_info=True)
+        raise APIError("Database connection failed", 500)             # Always same format
+    except Exception as e:
+        logger.exception("Unexpected error")
+        raise APIError("Internal server error", 500)
+
+@app.errorhandler(APIError)
+def handle_api_error(e):
+    return error_response(e.message, e.status_code, e.details)
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ All errors follow same format
+- ✅ Client can parse responses consistently
+- ✅ Errors are logged with full context
+- ✅ Easy to add monitoring/alerting
+
+---
+
+## 3. Logging System
+
+### ❌ BEFORE (Print Statements)
+```python
+def log_event():
+    try:
+        #print(f"Connecting to database at: {DATABASE}")
+        
+        # Get the JSON payload
+        data = request.json
+        if not data:
+            return {"error": "Invalid or missing JSON payload"}, 400
+        
+        #print(f"Received request data: {data}")
+        
+        # ... code ...
+        
+        print("Log saved successfully")       # Lost in terminal output
+        return {"message": "Log saved successfully"}, 201
+
+    except sqlite3.Error as e:
+        print(f"Database error: {e}")          # Not structured, hard to parse
+        return {"error": f"Database connection failed: {e}"}, 500
+
+    except Exception as e:
+        print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")        # No stack trace
+        return {"error": "An unexpected error occurred"}, 500
+```
+
+### ✅ AFTER (Proper Logging)
+```python
+logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+
+def log_event():
+    try:
+        logger.debug(f"Log event request from {request.remote_addr}")
+        
+        data = request.get_json()
+        if not data:
+            logger.warning("Empty JSON payload received")
+            raise APIError("Invalid payload", 400)
+        
+        logger.debug(f"Received request data: {data}")
+        
+        # ... code ...
+        
+        logger.info(f"Log saved for {hostname} from {device_ip}")     # Structured!
+        return success_response({"log_id": cursor.lastrowid}, 201)
+
+    except sqlite3.Error as e:
+        logger.error(f"Database error: {e}", exc_info=True)           # Full traceback
+        raise APIError("Database connection failed", 500)
+
+    except Exception as e:
+        logger.exception("Unexpected error in log_event")             # Context included
+        raise APIError("Internal server error", 500)
+```
+
+**Log Output Example:**
+```
+2025-12-17 10:30:45 - app - DEBUG - Log event request from 192.168.1.100
+2025-12-17 10:30:45 - app - DEBUG - Received request data: {...}
+2025-12-17 10:30:46 - app - INFO - Log saved for rpi-01 from 192.168.1.101
+2025-12-17 10:30:50 - app - ERROR - Database error: unable to connect
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+  File "server.py", line 42, in log_event
+    cursor.execute(...)
+  ...
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Logs go to file with rotation
+- ✅ Different severity levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR)
+- ✅ Full stack traces for debugging
+- ✅ Timestamps included automatically
+- ✅ Can be parsed by log aggregation tools (ELK, Splunk, etc.)
+- ✅ Production support becomes possible
+
+---
+
+## 4. Configuration Management
+
+### ❌ BEFORE (Hardcoded Values)
+```python
+DATABASE = 'data/database.db'           # Hardcoded path
+PORT = 80                                # Hardcoded port
+REQUEST_TIMEOUT = 30                     # Hardcoded timeout
+
+# Throughout the code:
+response = requests.post(url, json=payload, timeout=30)  # Magic number
+with sqlite3.connect(DATABASE) as conn:  # Uses global
+app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=80)        # Hardcoded
+
+# Problems:
+# - Different values needed for dev/test/prod
+# - Secret values exposed in code
+# - Can't change without code changes
+```
+
+### ✅ AFTER (Environment-Based Configuration)
+```python
+# config.py
+import os
+from dotenv import load_dotenv
+
+load_dotenv()
+
+class Config:
+    DATABASE_PATH = os.getenv('DATABASE_PATH', 'data/database.db')
+    PORT = int(os.getenv('PORT', 80))
+    REQUEST_TIMEOUT = int(os.getenv('REQUEST_TIMEOUT', 30))
+    API_KEY = os.getenv('API_KEY', 'change-me')  # From .env
+    DEBUG = os.getenv('DEBUG', 'False').lower() == 'true'
+    LOG_LEVEL = os.getenv('LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO')
+
+class ProductionConfig(Config):
+    DEBUG = False
+    LOG_LEVEL = 'INFO'
+
+# server.py
+from config import get_config
+config = get_config()
+
+response = requests.post(url, json=payload, timeout=config.REQUEST_TIMEOUT)
+with sqlite3.connect(config.DATABASE_PATH) as conn:
+    # ...
+app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=config.PORT)
+
+# .env (local)
+DATABASE_PATH=/var/lib/server_mon/database.db
+PORT=8000
+DEBUG=True
+API_KEY=my-secure-key
+
+# Benefits:
+# - Same code, different configs
+# - Secrets not in version control
+# - Easy deployment to prod
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Environment-specific configuration
+- ✅ Secrets in .env (not committed to git)
+- ✅ Easy deployment
+- ✅ No code changes needed per environment
+- ✅ Supports dev/test/prod differences
+
+---
+
+## 5. Input Validation
+
+### ❌ BEFORE (Minimal Validation)
+```python
+def log_event():
+    # Get the JSON payload
+    data = request.json
+    if not data:
+        return {"error": "Invalid or missing JSON payload"}, 400
+    
+    # Extract fields from the JSON payload
+    hostname = data.get('hostname')
+    device_ip = data.get('device_ip')
+    nume_masa = data.get('nume_masa')
+    log_message = data.get('log_message')
+    timestamp = datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
+
+    # Validate required fields
+    if not hostname or not device_ip or not nume_masa or not log_message:
+        print("Validation failed: Missing required fields")
+        return {"error": "Missing required fields"}, 400
+    
+    # NO FORMAT VALIDATION
+    # - hostname could be very long
+    # - device_ip could be invalid format
+    # - log_message could contain injection payloads
+    # - No type checking
+```
+
+### ✅ AFTER (Comprehensive Validation)
+```python
+from marshmallow import Schema, fields, validate, ValidationError
+
+class LogSchema(Schema):
+    """Define expected schema and validation rules"""
+    hostname = fields.Str(
+        required=True,
+        validate=[
+            validate.Length(min=1, max=255),
+            validate.Regexp(r'^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$', error="Invalid characters")
+        ]
+    )
+    device_ip = fields.IP(required=True)  # Validates IP format
+    nume_masa = fields.Str(
+        required=True,
+        validate=validate.Length(min=1, max=255)
+    )
+    log_message = fields.Str(
+        required=True,
+        validate=validate.Length(min=1, max=1000)
+    )
+
+schema = LogSchema()
+
+def log_event():
+    try:
+        data = schema.load(request.json)  # Auto-validates all fields
+        hostname = data['hostname']        # Already validated
+        device_ip = data['device_ip']     # Already validated
+        
+        # Data is guaranteed to be valid format
+        
+    except ValidationError as err:
+        logger.warning(f"Validation failed: {err.messages}")
+        return error_response("Validation failed", 400, err.messages)
+```
+
+**Validation Errors (Clear Feedback):**
+```
+{
+    "errors": {
+        "hostname": ["Length must be between 1 and 255"],
+        "device_ip": ["Not a valid IP address"],
+        "log_message": ["Length must be between 1 and 1000"]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Clear validation rules (declarative)
+- ✅ Reusable schemas
+- ✅ Type checking
+- ✅ Length limits
+- ✅ Format validation (IP, email, etc.)
+- ✅ Custom validators
+- ✅ Detailed error messages for client
+

+
+## 6. Database Queries
+
+### ❌ BEFORE (No Pagination)
+```python
+@app.route('/dashboard', methods=['GET'])
+def dashboard():
+    with sqlite3.connect(DATABASE) as conn:
+        cursor = conn.cursor()
+        # Fetch the last 60 logs - loads ALL into memory
+        cursor.execute('''
+            SELECT hostname, device_ip, nume_masa, timestamp, event_description 
+            FROM logs 
+            WHERE hostname != 'SERVER' 
+            ORDER BY timestamp DESC 
+            LIMIT 60
+        ''')
+        logs = cursor.fetchall()
+    return render_template('dashboard.html', logs=logs)
+
+# Problem: As table grows to 100k rows
+# - Still fetches into memory
+# - Page takes longer to load
+# - Memory usage grows
+```
+
+### ✅ AFTER (With Pagination)
+```python
+@logs_bp.route('/dashboard', methods=['GET'])
+def dashboard():
+    page = request.args.get('page', 1, type=int)
+    per_page = min(
+        request.args.get('per_page', config.DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE, type=int),
+        config.MAX_PAGE_SIZE
+    )
+    
+    conn = get_db_connection(config.DATABASE_PATH)
+    try:
+        cursor = conn.cursor()
+        
+        # Get total count
+        cursor.execute('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM logs WHERE hostname != "SERVER"')
+        total = cursor.fetchone()[0]
+        
+        # Get only requested page
+        offset = (page - 1) * per_page
+        cursor.execute('''
+            SELECT hostname, device_ip, nume_masa, timestamp, event_description 
+            FROM logs 
+            WHERE hostname != 'SERVER' 
+            ORDER BY timestamp DESC 
+            LIMIT ? OFFSET ?
+        ''', (per_page, offset))
+        
+        logs = cursor.fetchall()
+        total_pages = (total + per_page - 1) // per_page
+        
+        return render_template(
+            'dashboard.html',
+            logs=logs,
+            page=page,
+            total_pages=total_pages,
+            total=total
+        )
+    finally:
+        conn.close()
+
+# Usage: /dashboard?page=1&per_page=20
+# Benefits:
+# - Only fetches 20 rows
+# - Memory usage constant regardless of table size
+# - Can navigate pages easily
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Constant memory usage
+- ✅ Faster page loads
+- ✅ Can handle large datasets
+- ✅ Better UX with page navigation
+
+---
+
+## 7. Threading & Concurrency
+
+### ❌ BEFORE (Unbounded Threads)
+```python
+@app.route('/execute_command_bulk', methods=['POST'])
+def execute_command_bulk():
+    try:
+        data = request.json
+        device_ips = data.get('device_ips', [])
+        command = data.get('command')
+        
+        results = {}
+        threads = []
+        
+        def execute_on_device(ip):
+            results[ip] = execute_command_on_device(ip, command)
+        
+        # Execute commands in parallel
+        for ip in device_ips:  # No limit!
+            thread = threading.Thread(target=execute_on_device, args=(ip,))
+            threads.append(thread)
+            thread.start()  # Creates a thread for EACH IP
+        
+        # Wait for all threads to complete
+        for thread in threads:
+            thread.join()
+        
+        # Problem: If user sends 1000 devices, creates 1000 threads!
+        # - Exhausts system memory
+        # - System becomes unresponsive
+        # - No control over resource usage
+```
+
+### ✅ AFTER (ThreadPoolExecutor with Limits)
+```python
+from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed
+
+@app.route('/execute_command_bulk', methods=['POST'])
+def execute_command_bulk():
+    try:
+        data = request.json
+        device_ips = data.get('device_ips', [])
+        command = data.get('command')
+        
+        # Limit threads
+        max_workers = min(
+            config.BULK_OPERATION_MAX_THREADS,  # e.g., 10
+            len(device_ips)
+        )
+        
+        results = {}
+        
+        # Use ThreadPoolExecutor with bounded pool
+        with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_workers) as executor:
+            # Submit all jobs
+            future_to_ip = {
+                executor.submit(execute_command_on_device, ip, command): ip 
+                for ip in device_ips
+            }
+            
+            # Process results as they complete
+            for future in as_completed(future_to_ip):
+                ip = future_to_ip[future]
+                try:
+                    results[ip] = future.result()
+                except Exception as e:
+                    logger.error(f"Error executing command on {ip}: {e}")
+                    results[ip] = {"success": False, "error": str(e)}
+        
+        return jsonify({"results": results}), 200
+
+# Usage: Same API, but:
+# - Max 10 threads running at once
+# - Can handle 1000 devices gracefully
+# - Memory usage is bounded
+# - System stays responsive
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Bounded thread pool (max 10)
+- ✅ No resource exhaustion
+- ✅ Graceful handling of large requests
+- ✅ Can process results as they complete
+
+---
+
+## 8. Response Formatting
+
+### ❌ BEFORE (Inconsistent Responses)
+```python
+# Different response formats throughout
+return {"message": "Log saved successfully"}, 201
+return {"error": "Invalid or missing JSON payload"}, 400
+return {"success": True, "status": result_data.get('status')}, 200
+return {"error": error_msg}, 400
+return jsonify({"results": results}), 200
+
+# Client has to handle multiple formats
+# Hard to parse responses consistently
+# Hard to add metadata (timestamps, etc.)
+```
+
+### ✅ AFTER (Standardized Responses)
+```python
+# utils.py
+def error_response(message, status_code=400, details=None):
+    response = {
+        'success': False,
+        'error': message,
+        'timestamp': datetime.now().isoformat()
+    }
+    if details:
+        response['details'] = details
+    return jsonify(response), status_code
+
+def success_response(data=None, message="Success", status_code=200):
+    response = {
+        'success': True,
+        'message': message,
+        'timestamp': datetime.now().isoformat()
+    }
+    if data:
+        response['data'] = data
+    return jsonify(response), status_code
+
+# Usage in routes
+return success_response({"log_id": 123}, "Log saved successfully", 201)
+return error_response("Invalid payload", 400, {"fields": ["hostname"]})
+return success_response(results, message="Command executed")
+
+# Consistent responses:
+{
+    "success": true,
+    "message": "Log saved successfully",
+    "timestamp": "2025-12-17T10:30:46.123456",
+    "data": {
+        "log_id": 123
+    }
+}
+
+{
+    "success": false,
+    "error": "Invalid payload",
+    "timestamp": "2025-12-17T10:30:46.123456",
+    "details": {
+        "fields": ["hostname"]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ All responses have same format
+- ✅ Client code is simpler
+- ✅ Easier to add logging/monitoring
+- ✅ Includes timestamp for debugging
+- ✅ Structured error details

+
+---
+
+## 🔴 Top 5 Critical Issues (Fix First)
+
+### 1. No Authentication (Security Risk)
+```python
+# Current: Anyone can submit logs
+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+def log_event():
+    # No protection!
+
+# Recommended: Use API key validation
+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+@require_auth  # Checks X-API-Key header
+def log_event():
+    # Protected
+```
+
+### 2. No Logging System
+```python
+# Current: Using print() - lost in production
+print(f"Database error: {e}")
+
+# Recommended: Proper logging
+import logging
+logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+logger.error(f"Database error: {e}", exc_info=True)
+```
+
+### 3. Inconsistent Error Handling
+```python
+# Current: Different error formats
+return {"error": "Message"}, 400
+return jsonify({"error": message}), 500
+
+# Recommended: Standardized format
+from utils import error_response
+return error_response("Message", 400)
+```
+
+### 4. Monolithic Code Structure
+```
+# Current: All code in server.py (462 lines)
+server.py
+
+# Recommended: Modular structure
+routes/
+  ├── logs.py
+  ├── devices.py
+  └── commands.py
+services/
+  └── device_service.py
+utils.py
+config.py
+```
+
+### 5. No Input Validation
+```python
+# Current: Only checks if field exists
+if not hostname:
+    return error, 400
+
+# Recommended: Validates format and length
+def validate_hostname(hostname):
+    if not re.match(r'^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$', hostname):
+        raise APIError("Invalid format", 400)
+    if len(hostname) > 255:
+        raise APIError("Too long", 400)
+```
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Quick Wins (Easy Fixes - Do Today!)
+
+### 1. Add `.env` Support (5 minutes)
+```bash
+pip install python-dotenv
+# Create .env file from .env.example
+# Update server.py to load from .env
+```
+
+### 2. Replace `print()` with Logging (10 minutes)
+```python
+# Add at top of server.py
+import logging
+logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+
+# Replace all print() calls:
+# print("error") → logger.error("error")
+```
+
+### 3. Add Health Check Endpoint (5 minutes)
+```python
+@app.route('/health', methods=['GET'])
+def health():
+    try:
+        with sqlite3.connect(DATABASE) as conn:
+            conn.execute('SELECT 1')
+        return jsonify({"status": "healthy"}), 200
+    except:
+        return jsonify({"status": "unhealthy"}), 503
+```
+
+### 4. Add Error Handler (10 minutes)
+```python
+from utils import error_response
+
+@app.errorhandler(400)
+def bad_request(error):
+    return error_response("Bad request", 400)
+
+@app.errorhandler(500)
+def internal_error(error):
+    return error_response("Internal server error", 500)
+```
+
+### 5. Add Rate Limiting (5 minutes)
+```bash
+pip install flask-limiter
+```
+
+```python
+from flask_limiter import Limiter
+limiter = Limiter(app, key_func=get_remote_address)
+
+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+@limiter.limit("10 per minute")
+def log_event():
+    pass
+```

+## ❓ FAQ
+
+**Q: Do I need to rewrite the entire application?**
+A: No! Start with Phase 1 (foundation) and gradually refactor. You can run the old and new code side-by-side during transition.
+
+**Q: What's the minimum I should fix?**
+A: Authentication + Logging + Error handling. These three fix most critical issues.
+
+**Q: How long will it take?**
+A: Phase 1 (1-2 days), Phase 2 (3-4 days), Phase 3 (3-4 days), Phase 4 (5-7 days).
+
+**Q: Should I use a database ORM?**
+A: Yes, SQLAlchemy is recommended for better connection pooling and query building.
+
+**Q: What about backward compatibility?**
+A: API endpoints remain the same; internal refactoring doesn't break clients.

+# Server Monitorizare - Code Analysis & Improvement Proposals
+
+## Current Architecture Overview
+
+The application is a Flask-based device monitoring system with:
+- SQLite database for logging
+- REST API endpoints for device communication
+- Web UI dashboard for visualization
+- Remote command execution capabilities
+- Bulk operations support with threading
+
+---
+
+## 🔴 Critical Issues & Improvements
+
+### 1. **Security Vulnerabilities**
+
+#### a) No Authentication/Authorization
+**Issue**: All endpoints are publicly accessible without any authentication
+```python
+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+def log_event():
+    # No authentication check - anyone can send logs
+```
+
+**Impact**: Critical - Anyone can:
+- Submit fake logs
+- Execute commands on devices
+- Reset the database
+- Access sensitive device information
+
+**Proposal**:
+```python
+from flask import session
+from functools import wraps
+
+def require_auth(f):
+    @wraps(f)
+    def decorated(*args, **kwargs):
+        if 'user_id' not in session:
+            return jsonify({"error": "Authentication required"}), 401
+        return f(*args, **kwargs)
+    return decorated
+
+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+@require_auth
+def log_event():
+    # Protected endpoint
+```
+
+---
+
+#### b) SQL Injection Risk (Minor - Using Parameterized Queries)
+**Status**: ✅ Good - Already using parameterized queries with `?` placeholders
+**Recommendation**: Maintain this practice
+
+---
+
+#### c) No API Key for Device Communication
+**Issue**: Devices communicate with server without authentication
+```python
+url = f"http://{device_ip}:80/execute_command"  # No API key
+```
+
+**Proposal**: Add API key validation
+```python
+API_KEY = os.environ.get('DEVICE_API_KEY', 'default-key')
+
+headers = {
+    'X-API-Key': API_KEY,
+    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
+}
+response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers, timeout=30)
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Code Structure & Maintainability**
+
+#### a) No Configuration Management
+**Issue**: Hardcoded values scattered throughout code
+```python
+DATABASE = 'data/database.db'  # Hardcoded
+port=80  # Hardcoded
+timeout=30  # Hardcoded
+```
+
+**Proposal**: Create a config module
+```python
+# config.py
+import os
+from dotenv import load_dotenv
+
+load_dotenv()
+
+class Config:
+    DATABASE = os.getenv('DATABASE_PATH', 'data/database.db')
+    DEBUG = os.getenv('DEBUG', False)
+    PORT = int(os.getenv('PORT', 80))
+    REQUEST_TIMEOUT = int(os.getenv('REQUEST_TIMEOUT', 30))
+    LOG_LEVEL = os.getenv('LOG_LEVEL', 'INFO')
+```
+
+---
+
+#### b) Database Connection Not Optimized
+**Issue**: Opening new connection for every request - no connection pooling
+```python
+with sqlite3.connect(DATABASE) as conn:  # New connection each time
+    cursor = conn.cursor()
+```
+
+**Impact**: Performance degradation with many concurrent requests
+
+**Proposal**: Use SQLAlchemy with connection pooling
+```python
+from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
+
+app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqlite:///data/database.db'
+db = SQLAlchemy(app)
+
+class Log(db.Model):
+    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
+    hostname = db.Column(db.String(255), nullable=False)
+    device_ip = db.Column(db.String(15), nullable=False)
+    # ... other fields
+```
+
+---
+
+#### c) No Logging System
+**Issue**: Using `print()` for debugging - not production-ready
+```python
+print(f"Database error: {e}")
+print("Log saved successfully")
+```
+
+**Proposal**: Implement proper logging
+```python
+import logging
+from logging.handlers import RotatingFileHandler
+
+logging.basicConfig(
+    level=logging.INFO,
+    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
+    handlers=[
+        RotatingFileHandler('logs/app.log', maxBytes=10485760, backupCount=10),
+        logging.StreamHandler()
+    ]
+)
+logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+
+# Usage
+logger.info("Log saved successfully")
+logger.error(f"Database error: {e}")
+logger.warning("Missing required fields")
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. **Error Handling**
+
+#### a) Inconsistent Error Responses
+**Issue**: Errors returned with inconsistent structures
+```python
+return {"error": "Invalid or missing JSON payload"}, 400
+return jsonify({"error": f"Database connection failed: {e}"}), 500
+```
+
+**Proposal**: Create a standardized error handler
+```python
+class APIError(Exception):
+    def __init__(self, message, status_code=400):
+        self.message = message
+        self.status_code = status_code
+
+@app.errorhandler(APIError)
+def handle_api_error(e):
+    response = {
+        'success': False,
+        'error': e.message,
+        'timestamp': datetime.now().isoformat()
+    }
+    return jsonify(response), e.status_code
+
+# Usage
+if not hostname:
+    raise APIError("hostname is required", 400)
+```
+
+---
+
+#### b) Bare Exception Handling
+**Issue**: Catching all exceptions without logging details
+```python
+except Exception as e:
+    return {"error": "An unexpected error occurred"}, 500
+```
+
+**Impact**: Difficult to debug issues in production
+
+**Proposal**: Specific exception handling with logging
+```python
+except sqlite3.Error as e:
+    logger.error(f"Database error: {e}", exc_info=True)
+    raise APIError("Database operation failed", 500)
+except requests.exceptions.Timeout:
+    logger.warning(f"Request timeout for device {device_ip}")
+    raise APIError("Device request timeout", 504)
+except Exception as e:
+    logger.exception("Unexpected error occurred")
+    raise APIError("Internal server error", 500)
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. **Input Validation**
+
+#### a) Minimal Validation
+**Issue**: Only checking if fields exist, not their format
+```python
+if not hostname or not device_ip or not nume_masa or not log_message:
+    return {"error": "Missing required fields"}, 400
+# No validation of format/length
+```
+
+**Proposal**: Implement comprehensive validation
+```python
+from marshmallow import Schema, fields, ValidationError
+
+class LogSchema(Schema):
+    hostname = fields.Str(required=True, validate=Length(min=1, max=255))
+    device_ip = fields.IP(required=True)
+    nume_masa = fields.Str(required=True, validate=Length(min=1, max=255))
+    log_message = fields.Str(required=True, validate=Length(min=1, max=1000))
+
+schema = LogSchema()
+
+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+def log_event():
+    try:
+        data = schema.load(request.json)
+    except ValidationError as err:
+        return jsonify({'errors': err.messages}), 400
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5. **Threading & Concurrency**
+
+#### a) Basic Threading Without Safety
+**Issue**: Creating unbounded threads for bulk operations
+```python
+for ip in device_ips:
+    thread = threading.Thread(target=execute_on_device, args=(ip,))
+    threads.append(thread)
+    thread.start()
+```
+
+**Impact**: Can exhaust system resources with many requests
+
+**Proposal**: Use ThreadPoolExecutor with bounded pool
+```python
+from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed
+
+def execute_command_bulk():
+    try:
+        data = request.json
+        device_ips = data.get('device_ips', [])
+        command = data.get('command')
+        
+        results = {}
+        max_workers = min(10, len(device_ips))  # Max 10 threads
+        
+        with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_workers) as executor:
+            future_to_ip = {
+                executor.submit(execute_command_on_device, ip, command): ip 
+                for ip in device_ips
+            }
+            
+            for future in as_completed(future_to_ip):
+                ip = future_to_ip[future]
+                try:
+                    results[ip] = future.result()
+                except Exception as e:
+                    logger.error(f"Error executing command on {ip}: {e}")
+                    results[ip] = {"success": False, "error": str(e)}
+        
+        return jsonify({"results": results}), 200
+```
+
+---
+
+### 6. **Data Persistence & Backup**
+
+#### a) No Database Backup
+**Issue**: `reset_database()` endpoint can delete all data without backup
+
+**Proposal**: Implement automatic backups
+```python
+import shutil
+from datetime import datetime
+
+def backup_database():
+    """Create a backup of the current database"""
+    timestamp = datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')
+    backup_file = f'backups/database_backup_{timestamp}.db'
+    
+    os.makedirs('backups', exist_ok=True)
+    shutil.copy2(DATABASE, backup_file)
+    logger.info(f"Database backup created: {backup_file}")
+    
+    # Keep only last 10 backups
+    backups = sorted(glob.glob('backups/database_backup_*.db'))
+    for backup in backups[:-10]:
+        os.remove(backup)
+```
+
+---
+
+### 7. **Performance Issues**
+
+#### a) Inefficient Queries
+**Issue**: Fetching all results without pagination
+```python
+cursor.execute('''
+    SELECT * FROM logs 
+    LIMIT 60  # Still loads everything into memory
+''')
+logs = cursor.fetchall()
+```
+
+**Proposal**: Implement pagination
+```python
+def get_logs_paginated(page=1, per_page=20):
+    offset = (page - 1) * per_page
+    cursor.execute('''
+        SELECT * FROM logs 
+        ORDER BY timestamp DESC 
+        LIMIT ? OFFSET ?
+    ''', (per_page, offset))
+    return cursor.fetchall()
+```
+
+---
+
+#### b) No Caching
+**Issue**: Unique devices query runs on every request
+```python
+@app.route('/unique_devices', methods=['GET'])
+def unique_devices():
+    # No caching - database query every time
+```
+
+**Proposal**: Add caching layer
+```python
+from flask_caching import Cache
+
+cache = Cache(app, config={'CACHE_TYPE': 'simple'})
+
+@app.route('/unique_devices', methods=['GET'])
+@cache.cached(timeout=300)  # Cache for 5 minutes
+def unique_devices():
+    # Query only executed once per 5 minutes
+```
+
+---
+
+### 8. **Code Organization**
+
+#### a) Monolithic Structure
+**Issue**: All code in single file (462 lines) - hard to maintain
+
+**Proposal**: Split into modular structure
+```
+server.py (main app)
+├── config.py (configuration)
+├── models.py (database models)
+├── routes/
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   ├── logs.py (logging endpoints)
+│   ├── devices.py (device management)
+│   └── commands.py (command execution)
+├── services/
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   ├── device_service.py
+│   └── command_service.py
+├── utils/
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   ├── validators.py
+│   └── decorators.py
+└── tests/
+    ├── __init__.py
+    └── test_routes.py
+```
+
+---
+
+### 9. **Missing Features**
+
+#### a) Rate Limiting
+```python
+from flask_limiter import Limiter
+from flask_limiter.util import get_remote_address
+
+limiter = Limiter(
+    app=app,
+    key_func=get_remote_address,
+    default_limits=["200 per day", "50 per hour"]
+)
+
+@app.route('/logs', methods=['POST'])
+@limiter.limit("10 per minute")
+def log_event():
+    # Prevent abuse
+```
+
+---
+
+#### b) CORS Configuration
+```python
+from flask_cors import CORS
+
+CORS(app, resources={
+    r"/api/*": {
+        "origins": ["http://localhost:3000"],
+        "methods": ["GET", "POST"],
+        "allow_headers": ["Content-Type", "Authorization"]
+    }
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+#### c) Health Check Endpoint
+```python
+@app.route('/health', methods=['GET'])
+def health():
+    try:
+        with sqlite3.connect(DATABASE) as conn:
+            conn.execute('SELECT 1')
+        return jsonify({"status": "healthy"}), 200
+    except:
+        return jsonify({"status": "unhealthy"}), 503
+```
+
+---
+
+### 10. **Testing**
+
+#### a) No Unit Tests
+**Proposal**: Add pytest tests
+```python
+# tests/test_logs.py
+import pytest
+from app import app, DATABASE
+
+@pytest.fixture
+def client():
+    app.config['TESTING'] = True
+    with app.test_client() as client:
+        yield client
+
+def test_log_event_success(client):
+    response = client.post('/logs', json={
+        'hostname': 'test-host',
+        'device_ip': '192.168.1.1',
+        'nume_masa': 'test',
+        'log_message': 'test message'
+    })
+    assert response.status_code == 201
+
+def test_log_event_missing_fields(client):
+    response = client.post('/logs', json={
+        'hostname': 'test-host'
+    })
+    assert response.status_code == 400
+```
