Grab precise changes in log file/s between system events
a project by smhalas
Updated over 2 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.

Project Description

The goal of this project is to create a tool to monitor changes in a log file or any text file between specific events in the system.

The specific events can mean any start of end of a process or many processes. Or such events could also be triggered by the user. Or we can set a timer at appropriate start and end times.

And during these 2 specific events some log files are assumed to be changed in the system.

The tool being developed will extract only the changed logs and display them on the UI.

Current Status

The project is still conceptual and nothing has been implemented yet.

Usage

The use for this project is specifically for someone who is learning some software programs and wish to know what all changes take place when a program runs and executes some tasks.

This project will also help to debug a software program.

And also will help to file bugs with precise logs.

Goal for this Hackweek

The goal for this hackweek is conservative.

  1. A simple GUI using perl-tk or python-django framework or similar tools.

  2. Provision to show parts of any textfile on the UI.

  3. Provision to set the starting point and ending point inside the logfile to acquire the logs.

Resources

The source code and documentation will be maintained in : https://github.com/sudarshannm/grab_logs

    MCP Perl SDK by kraih

    Description

    We've been using the MCP Perl SDK to connect openQA with AI. And while the basics are working pretty well, the SDK is not fully spec compliant yet. So let's change that!

    Goals

    • Support for Resources
    • All response types (Audio, Resource Links, Embedded Resources...)
    • Tool/Prompt/Resource update notifications
    • Dynamic Tool/Prompt/Resource lists
    • New authentication mechanisms

    Create a page with all devel:languages:perl packages and their versions by tinita

    Description

    Perl projects now live in git: https://src.opensuse.org/perl

    It would be useful to have an easy way to check which version of which perl module is in devel:languages:perl. Also we have meta overrides and patches for various modules, and it would be good to have them at a central place, so it is easier to lookup, and we can share with other vendors.

    I did some initial data dump here a while ago: https://github.com/perlpunk/cpan-meta

    But I never had the time to automate this.

    I can also use the data to check if there are necessary updates (currently it uses data from download.opensuse.org, so there is some delay and it depends on building).

    Goals

    • Have a script that updates a central repository (e.g. https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_metadata) with metadata by looking at https://src.opensuse.org/perl/_ObsPrj (check if there are any changes from the last run)
    • Create a HTML page with the list of packages (use Javascript and some table library to make it easily searchable)

    Resources

    Results

    Day 1

    Day 2

    • HTML Page has now links to src.opensuse.org and the date of the last update, plus a short info at the top
    • Code is now 100% covered by tests: https://app.codecov.io/gh/perlpunk/opensuse-perl-meta
    • I used the modern perl class feature, which makes perl classes even nicer and shorter. See example
    • Tests
      • I tried out the mocking feature of the modern Test2::V0 library which provides call tracking. See example
      • I tried out comparing data structures with the new Test2::V0 library. It let's you compare parts of the structure with the like function, which only compares the date that is mentioned in the expected data. example

    Day 3

    • Added various things to the table
      • Dependencies column
      • Show popup with info for cpanspec, patches and dependencies
      • Added last date / commit to the data export.

    Plan: With the added date / commit we can now daily check _ObsPrj for changes and only fetch the data for changed packages.

    Day 4

    Liz - Prompt autocomplete by ftorchia

    Description

    Liz is the Rancher AI assistant for cluster operations.

    Goals

    We want to help users when sending new messages to Liz, by adding an autocomplete feature to complete their requests based on the context.

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Can you show me the list of p"
    • Autocomplete suggestion: "Can you show me the list of p...od in local cluster?"

    Example:

    • User prompt: "Show me the logs of #rancher-"
    • Chat console: It shows a drop-down widget, next to the # character, with the list of available pod names starting with "rancher-".

    Technical Overview

    1. The AI agent should expose a new ws/autocomplete endpoint to proxy autocomplete messages to the LLM.
    2. The UI extension should be able to display prompt suggestions and allow users to apply the autocomplete to the Prompt via keyboard shortcuts.

    Improve chore and screen time doc generator script `wochenplaner` by gniebler

    Description

    I wrote a little Python script to generate PDF docs, which can be used to track daily chore completion and screen time usage for several people, with one page per person/week.

    I named this script wochenplaner and have been using it for a few months now.

    It needs some improvements and adjustments in how the screen time should be tracked and how chores are displayed.

    Goals

    • Fix chore field separation lines
    • Change screen time tracking logic from "global" (week-long) to daily subtraction and weekly addition of remainders (more intuitive than current "weekly time budget method)
    • Add logic to fill in chore fields/lines, ideally with pictures, falling back to text.

    Improvements to osc (especially with regards to the Git workflow) by mcepl

    Description

    There is plenty of hacking on osc, where we could spent some fun time. I would like to see a solution for https://github.com/openSUSE/osc/issues/2006 (which is sufficiently non-serious, that it could be part of HackWeek project).

    Enhance git-sha-verify: A tool to checkout validated git hashes by gpathak

    Description

    git-sha-verify is a simple shell utility to verify and checkout trusted git commits signed using GPG key. This tool helps ensure that only authorized or validated commit hashes are checked out from a git repository, supporting better code integrity and security within the workflow.

    Supports:

    • Verifying commit authenticity signed using gpg key
    • Checking out trusted commits

    Ideal for teams and projects where the integrity of git history is crucial.

    Goals

    A minimal python code of the shell script exists as a pull request.

    The goal of this hackweek is to:

    • DONE: Add more unit tests
      • New and more tests can be added later
    • Partially DONE: Make the python code modular
    • DONE: Add code coverage if possible

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles capabilities from YAST by miguelpc

    Bring to Cockpit + System Roles features from YAST

    Cockpit and System Roles have been added to SLES 16 There are several capabilities in YAST that are not yet present in Cockpit and System Roles We will follow the principle of "automate first, UI later" being System Roles the automation component and Cockpit the UI one.

    Goals

    The idea is to implement service configuration in System Roles and then add an UI to manage these in Cockpit. For some capabilities it will be required to have an specific Cockpit Module as they will interact with a reasource already configured.

    Resources

    A plan on capabilities missing and suggested implementation is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhX-Ip9MKJNeKSYV3bSZG4Qc5giuY7XSV0U61Ecu9lo/edit
