The "Silent Server Down" Bug (False Positives)
Your client Win_Client.exe only aggregates and pushes logs asynchronously when things actively happen.
• The Problem: If a server completely crashes, loses power, or its network cable is pulled, it stops generating event logs.
• The Bug: Hermes will look at the database, see zero error events for that server, and mistakenly report it as 100% Healthy instead of recognizing that it is entirely offline.
Spam Ingestion & Memory Bloat (The consecutive_runs Loop)
As you noted, consecutive_runs deduplicates events by incrementing a counter.
• The Problem: Windows services like the Software Protection Platform Service (sppsvc) or edgeupdate naturally spin up and shut down dozens of times a day during standard idle validation cycles.
• The Bug: Your dashboard script will constantly trigger alerts because an entry hit consecutive_runs: 50. In reality, the service isn't crashing—it is just busy doing routine work. You will end up with severe alert fatigue.
Blind Troubleshooting Context
Logs show what changed, but they don't show why it mattered.
• The Problem: If a server's disk space fills up to 100%, applications will crash, throwing various vague application text warnings into LOGAR.
• The Bug: Your Hermes tracking engine will see an explosion of random error messages, but because it doesn't track base resource metrics (Disk, CPU, RAM), it won't be able to point out the actual root cause (low disk space).
