Database Tables Created

ogp_password_reset_tokens

Stores password reset tokens with expiration and usage tracking.

CREATE TABLE ogp_password_reset_tokens (
    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    user_id INT NOT NULL,
    token VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
    expires DATETIME NOT NULL,
    used TINYINT(1) DEFAULT 0,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    INDEX idx_token (token),
    INDEX idx_user_id (user_id)
)

ogp_server_status

Stores server infrastructure status and metrics.

CREATE TABLE ogp_server_status (
    status_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    remote_server_id INT NOT NULL,
    server_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    ip_address VARCHAR(45),
    status ENUM('online', 'offline', 'maintenance') DEFAULT 'offline',
    cpu_usage DECIMAL(5,2),
    memory_usage DECIMAL(5,2),
    disk_usage DECIMAL(5,2),
    uptime VARCHAR(50),
    last_updated TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    notes TEXT,
    INDEX idx_remote_server (remote_server_id),
    UNIQUE KEY unique_server (remote_server_id)
)

Both tables are created automatically when the respective pages are first accessed.
