Updated about 2 months ago. 4 hacker ♥️. 2 followers.

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.

    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:

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

    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 add-emoji 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

    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.

    Ansible to Salt integration by vizhestkov

    Description

    We already have initial integration of Ansible in Salt with the possibility to run playbooks from the salt-master on the salt-minion used as an Ansible Control node.

    In this project I want to check if it possible to make Ansible working on the transport of Salt. Basically run playbooks with Ansible through existing established Salt (ZeroMQ) transport and not using ssh at all.

    It could be a good solution for the end users to reuse Ansible playbooks or run Ansible modules they got used to with no effort of complex configuration with existing Salt (or Uyuni/SUSE Multi Linux Manager) infrastructure.

    Goals

    • [v] Prepare the testing environment with Salt and Ansible installed
    • [v] Discover Ansible codebase to figure out possible ways of integration
    • [v] Create Salt/Uyuni inventory module
    • [v] Make basic modules to work with no using separate ssh connection, but reusing existing Salt connection
    • [v] Test some most basic playbooks

    Background Coding Agent by mmanno

    Description

    I had only bad experiences with AI one-shots. However, monitoring agent work closely and interfering often did result in productivity gains.

    Now, other companies are using agents in pipelines. That makes sense to me, just like CI, we want to offload work to pipelines: Our engineering teams are consistently slowed down by "toil": low-impact, repetitive maintenance tasks. A simple linter rule change, a dependency bump, rebasing patch-sets on top of newer releases or API deprecation requires dozens of manual PRs, draining time from feature development.

    So far we have been writing deterministic, script-based automation for these tasks. And it turns out to be a common trap. These scripts are brittle, complex, and become a massive maintenance burden themselves.

    Can we make prompts and workflows smart enough to succeed at background coding?

    Goals

    We will build a platform that allows engineers to execute complex code transformations using prompts.

    By automating this toil, we accelerate large-scale migrations and allow teams to focus on high-value work.

    Our platform will consist of three main components:

    • "Change" Definition: Engineers will define a transformation as a simple, declarative manifest:
      • The target repositories.
      • A wrapper to run a "coding agent", e.g., "gemini-cli".
      • The task as a natural language prompt.
    • "Change" Management Service: A central service that orchestrates the jobs. It will receive Change definitions and be responsible for the job lifecycle.
    • Execution Runners: We could use existing sandboxed CI runners (like GitHub/GitLab runners) to execute each job or spawn a container.

    MVP

    • Define the Change manifest format.
    • Build the core Management Service that can accept and queue a Change.
    • Connect management service and runners, dynamically dispatch jobs to runners.
    • Create a basic runner script that can run a hard-coded prompt against a test repo and open a PR.

    Stretch Goals:

    • Multi-layered approach, Workflow Agents trigger Coding Agents:
      1. Workflow Agent: Gather information about the task interactively from the user.
      2. Coding Agent: Once the interactive agent has refined the task into a clear prompt, it hands this prompt off to the "coding agent." This background agent is responsible for executing the task and producing the actual pull request.
    • Use MCP:
      1. Workflow Agent gathers context information from Slack, Github, etc.
      2. Workflow Agent triggers a Coding Agent.
    • Create a "Standard Task" library with reliable prompts.
      1. Rebasing rancher-monitoring to a new version of kube-prom-stack
      2. Update charts to use new images
      3. Apply changes to comply with a new linter
      4. Bump complex Go dependencies, like k8s modules
      5. Backport pull requests to other branches
    • Add “review agents” that review the generated PR.

    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

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    Resources

    • Docker
    • Gemini CLI

    SUSE Edge Image Builder MCP by eminguez

    Description

    Based on my other hackweek project, SUSE Edge Image Builder's Json Schema I would like to build also a MCP to be able to generate EIB config files the AI way.

    Realistically I don't think I'll be able to have something consumable at the end of this hackweek but at least I would like to start exploring MCPs, the difference between an API and MCP, etc.

    Goals

    • Familiarize myself with MCPs
    • Unrealistic: Have an MCP that can generate an EIB config file

    Resources

    Result

    https://github.com/e-minguez/eib-mcp

    I've extensively used antigravity and its agent mode to code this. This heavily uses https://hackweek.opensuse.org/25/projects/suse-edge-image-builder-json-schema for the MCP to be built.

    I've ended up learning a lot of things about "prompting", json schemas in general, some golang, MCPs and AI in general :)

    Example:

    Generate an Edge Image Builder configuration for an ISO image based on slmicro-6.2.iso, targeting x86_64 architecture. The output name should be 'my-edge-image' and it should install to /dev/sda. It should deploy a 3 nodes kubernetes cluster with nodes names "node1", "node2" and "node3" as: * hostname: node1, IP: 1.1.1.1, role: initializer * hostname: node2, IP: 1.1.1.2, role: agent * hostname: node3, IP: 1.1.1.3, role: agent The kubernetes version should be k3s 1.33.4-k3s1 and it should deploy a cert-manager helm chart (the latest one available according to https://cert-manager.io/docs/installation/helm/). It should create a user called "suse" with password "suse" and set ntp to "foo.ntp.org". The VIP address for the API should be 1.2.3.4

    Generates:

    ``` apiVersion: "1.0" image: arch: x86_64 baseImage: slmicro-6.2.iso imageType: iso outputImageName: my-edge-image kubernetes: helm: charts: - name: cert-manager repositoryName: jetstack
