Project Description

The goal is to have a language model, that is able to answer technical questions on Uyuni. Uyuni documentation is too large for in-context processing, so finetuning is the way to go.

Goal for this Hackweek

Finetune a model based on llama-2-7b.

MCP Server for SCC by digitaltomm

Description

Provide an MCP Server implementation for customers to access data on scc.suse.com via MCP protocol. The core benefit of this MCP interface is that it has direct (read) access to customer data in SCC, so the AI agent gets enhanced knowledge about individual customer data, like subscriptions, orders and registered systems.

Architecture

Goals

We want to demonstrate a proof of concept to connect to the SCC MCP server with any AI agent, for example gemini-cli or codex. Enabling the user to ask questions regarding their SCC inventory.

For this Hackweek, we target that users get proper responses to these example questions:

Which of my currently active systems are running products that are out of support?
Do I have ready to use registration codes for SLES?
What are the latest 5 released patches for SLES 15 SP6? Output as a list with release date, patch name, affected package names and fixed CVEs.
Which versions of kernel-default are available on SLES 15 SP6?

Technical Notes

Similar to the organization APIs, this can expose to customers data about their subscriptions, orders, systems and products. Authentication should be done by organization credentials, similar to what needs to be provided to RMT/MLM. Customers can connect to the SCC MCP server from their own MCP-compatible client and Large Language Model (LLM), so no third party is involved.

Multi-agent AI assistant for Linux troubleshooting by doreilly

Description

Explore multi-agent architecture as a way to avoid MCP context rot.

Having one agent with many tools bloats the context with low-level details about tool descriptions, parameter schemas etc which hurts LLM performance. Instead have many specialised agents, each with just the tools it needs for its role. A top level supervisor agent takes the user prompt and delegates to appropriate sub-agents.

Goals

Create an AI assistant with some sub-agents that are specialists at troubleshooting Linux subsystems, e.g. systemd, selinux, firewalld etc. The agents can get information from the system by implementing their own tools with simple function calls, or use tools from MCP servers, e.g. a systemd-agent can use tools from systemd-mcp.

Example prompts/responses:

user$ the system seems slow
assistant$ process foo with pid 12345 is using 1000% cpu ...

user$ I can't connect to the apache webserver
assistant$ the firewall is blocking http ... you can open the port with firewall-cmd --add-port ...

MCP Trace Suite by r1chard-lyu

Description

This project plans to create an MCP Trace Suite, a system that consolidates commonly used Linux debugging tools such as bpftrace, perf, and ftrace.

The suite is implemented as an MCP Server. This architecture allows an AI agent to leverage the server to diagnose Linux issues and perform targeted system debugging by remotely executing and retrieving tracing data from these powerful tools.

Repo: https://github.com/r1chard-lyu/systracesuite
Demo: Slides

Goals

Build an MCP Server that can integrate various Linux debugging and tracing tools, including bpftrace, perf, ftrace, strace, and others, with support for future expansion of additional tools.
Perform testing by intentionally creating bugs or issues that impact system performance, allowing an AI agent to analyze the root cause and identify the underlying problem.

Backporting patches using LLM by jankara

Description

Backporting Linux kernel fixes (either for CVE issues or as part of general git-fixes workflow) is boring and mostly mechanical work (dealing with changes in context, renamed variables, new helper functions etc.). The idea of this project is to explore usage of LLM for backporting Linux kernel commits to SUSE kernels using LLM.

Goals

Create safe environment allowing LLM to run and backport patches without exposing the whole filesystem to it (for privacy and security reasons).
Write prompt that will guide LLM through the backporting process. Fine tune it based on experimental results.
Explore success rate of LLMs when backporting various patches.

Uyuni Saltboot rework by oholecek

Description

When Uyuni switched over to the containerized proxies we had to abandon salt based saltboot infrastructure we had before. Uyuni already had integration with a Cobbler provisioning server and saltboot infra was re-implemented on top of this Cobbler integration.

What was not obvious from the start was that Cobbler, having all it's features, woefully slow when dealing with saltboot size environments. We did some improvements in performance, introduced transactions, and generally tried to make this setup usable. However the underlying slowness remained.

Goals

This project is not something trying to invent new things, it is just finally implementing saltboot infrastructure directly with the Uyuni server core.

Instead of generating grub and pxelinux configurations by Cobbler for all thousands of systems and branches, we will provide a GET access point to retrieve grub or pxelinux file during the boot:

/saltboot/group/grub/$fqdn and similar for systems /saltboot/system/grub/$mac

Next we adapt our tftpd translator to query these points when asked for default or mac based config.

Lastly similar thing needs to be done on our apache server when HTTP UEFI boot is used.

Move Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright + AI by oscar-barrios

Description

This project aims to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright. The move will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging Playwright's modern features. We'll be rewriting the current Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript, which includes updating the test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. This is also necessary because we're moving from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.

If you're still curious about the AI in the title, it was just a way to grab your attention. Thanks for your understanding.

Nah, let's be honest AI helped a lot to vibe code a good part of the Ruby methods of the Test framework, moving them to Typescript, along with the migration from Capybara to Playwright. I've been using "Cline" as plugin for WebStorm IDE, using Gemini API behind it.

Goals

Migrate Core tests including Onboarding of clients
Improve test reliabillity: Measure and confirm a significant reduction of flakiness.
Implement a robust framework: Establish a well-structured and reusable Playwright test framework using the CucumberJS

Flaky Tests AI Finder for Uyuni and MLM Test Suites by oscar-barrios

Description

Our current Grafana dashboards provide a great overview of test suite health, including a panel for "Top failed tests." However, identifying which of these failures are due to legitimate bugs versus intermittent "flaky tests" is a manual, time-consuming process. These flaky tests erode trust in our test suites and slow down development.

This project aims to build a simple but powerful Python script that automates flaky test detection. The script will directly query our Prometheus instance for the historical data of each failed test, using the jenkins_build_test_case_failure_age metric. It will then format this data and send it to the Gemini API with a carefully crafted prompt, asking it to identify which tests show a flaky pattern.

The final output will be a clean JSON list of the most probable flaky tests, which can then be used to populate a new "Top Flaky Tests" panel in our existing Grafana test suite dashboard.

Goals

By the end of Hack Week, we aim to have a single, working Python script that:

Connects to Prometheus and executes a query to fetch detailed test failure history.
Processes the raw data into a format suitable for the Gemini API.
Successfully calls the Gemini API with the data and a clear prompt.
Parses the AI's response to extract a simple list of flaky tests.
Saves the list to a JSON file that can be displayed in Grafana.
New panel in our Dashboard listing the Flaky tests

Uyuni Health-check Grafana AI Troubleshooter by ygutierrez

Description

This project explores the feasibility of using the open-source Grafana LLM plugin to enhance the Uyuni Health-check tool with LLM capabilities. The idea is to integrate a chat-based "AI Troubleshooter" directly into existing dashboards, allowing users to ask natural-language questions about errors, anomalies, or performance issues.

Goals

Investigate if and how the grafana-llm-app plug-in can be used within the Uyuni Health-check tool.
Investigate if this plug-in can be used to query LLMs for troubleshooting scenarios.
Evaluate support for local LLMs and external APIs through the plugin.
Evaluate if and how the Uyuni MCP server could be integrated as another source of information.

Testing and adding GNU/Linux distributions on Uyuni by juliogonzalezgil

Join the Gitter channel! https://gitter.im/uyuni-project/hackweek

Uyuni is a configuration and infrastructure management tool that saves you time and headaches when you have to manage and update tens, hundreds or even thousands of machines. It also manages configuration, can run audits, build image containers, monitor and much more!

Currently there are a few distributions that are completely untested on Uyuni or SUSE Manager (AFAIK) or just not tested since a long time, and could be interesting knowing how hard would be working with them and, if possible, fix whatever is broken.

For newcomers, the easiest distributions are those based on DEB or RPM packages. Distributions with other package formats are doable, but will require adapting the Python and Java code to be able to sync and analyze such packages (and if salt does not support those packages, it will need changes as well). So if you want a distribution with other packages, make sure you are comfortable handling such changes.

No developer experience? No worries! We had non-developers contributors in the past, and we are ready to help as long as you are willing to learn. If you don't want to code at all, you can also help us preparing the documentation after someone else has the initial code ready, or you could also help with testing :-)

The idea is testing Salt (including bootstrapping with bootstrap script) and Salt-ssh clients

To consider that a distribution has basic support, we should cover at least (points 3-6 are to be tested for both salt minions and salt ssh minions):

Reposync (this will require using spacewalk-common-channels and adding channels to the .ini file)
Onboarding (salt minion from UI, salt minion from bootstrap scritp, and salt-ssh minion) (this will probably require adding OS to the bootstrap repository creator)
Package management (install, remove, update...)
Patching
Applying any basic salt state (including a formula)
Salt remote commands
Bonus point: Java part for product identification, and monitoring enablement
Bonus point: sumaform enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/sumaform)
Bonus point: Documentation (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs)
Bonus point: testsuite enablement (https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/tree/master/testsuite)

If something is breaking: we can try to fix it, but the main idea is research how supported it is right now. Beyond that it's up to each project member how much to hack :-)

If you don't have knowledge about some of the steps: ask the team
If you still don't know what to do: switch to another distribution and keep testing.

This card is for EVERYONE, not just developers. Seriously! We had people from other teams helping that were not developers, and added support for Debian and new SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE Leap versions :-)

In progress/done for Hack Week 25
