Project Description

Over the years, our bugzilla database has grown up in size, becoming a very valuable source of truth for most support and development cases; still searching for specific items is quite tricky and the results do not always match the expectations.

What about feeding a Maching Learning platform with the Bugzilla Database, in order to be able to query it through AI interface? Wouldn't it be nice/convenient to ask to AI: "Gimme hints about this kernel dump!" or "What is the root cause of this stack trace?"

It is the age of choice in the end, isn't it?

Goal for this Hackweek

For this Hackweek, the focus is to trigger a discussion on the following non-exhaustive list:

  • What are the boundaries to be set when considering such an approach (legal, ethical, technological, whatever)
  • How much of the Bugzilla DB can be used for feeding ML? ( can we use customer's data? what about partner's data?)
  • Find out an open source ML solution fitting our needs;
  • Find out some hardware where the solution can be eventually run on.

Anyone interested can join the discussion on the open Slack channel #discuss-bugzilla-ai

      Preliminary findings: talking to Amartya Chakraborty, who works to the Rancher AI project (https://github.com/rancher/opni), it seems that their framework can be attached to a Bugzilla instance for machine learning and pobably this will be explorated in the future

      Preliminary finding: the Mozilla foundation is actively working on https://github.com/mozilla/bugbug, coming with very promising features: it's worth to try to setup an instance and feed it using our Bugzilla data.

    MCP Server for SCC by digitaltomm

    Description

    Provide an MCP Server implementation for scc.suse.com. 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.

    Goals

    We want to show a proof of concept to connect to the SCC MCP server with any agentic AI, like gemini-cli, copilot or Claude desktop. This would enable the user to ask questions regarding their SCC inventory, like "When do I need to re-new my SLES subscription", "Do I have active systems running on unsupported operating systems?". The user can decide themselves to use any AI backend which they trust to use for this.

    Gemini-Powered Socratic Bug Evaluation and Management Assistant by rtsvetkov

    Description

    To build a tool or system that takes a raw bug report (including error messages and context) and uses a large language model (LLM) to generate a series of structured, Socratic-style questions designed to guide a the integration and development toward the root cause, rather than just providing a direct, potentially incorrect fix.

    Goals

    Set up a Python environment

    Set the environment and get a Gemini API key. 2. Collect 5-10 realistic bug reports (from open-source projects, personal projects, or public forums like Stack Overflow—include the error message and the initial context).

    Build the Dialogue Loop

    1. Write a basic Python script using the Gemini API.
    2. Implement a simple conversational loop: User Input (Bug) -> AI Output (Question) -> User Input (Answer to AI's question) -> AI Output (Next Question). Code Implementation

    Socratic Strategy Implementation

    1. Refine the logic to ensure the questions follow a Socratic path (e.g., from symptom-> context -> assumptions -> root cause).
    2. Implement Function Calling (an advanced feature of the Gemini API) to suggest specific actions to the user, like "Run a ping test" or "Check the database logs."

    Uyuni Health-check Grafana 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.

    Bugzilla goes AI - Phase 1 by nwalter

    Description

    This project, Bugzilla goes AI, aims to boost developer productivity by creating an autonomous AI bug agent during Hackweek. The primary goal is to reduce the time employees spend triaging bugs by integrating Ollama to summarize issues, recommend next steps, and push focused daily reports to a Web Interface.

    Goals

    To reduce employee time spent on Bugzilla by implementing an AI tool that triages and summarizes bug reports, providing actionable recommendations to the team via Web Interface.

    SUSE Observability MCP server by drutigliano

    Description

    The idea is to implement the SUSE Observability Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server as a specialized, middle-tier API designed to translate the complex, high-cardinality observability data from StackState (topology, metrics, and events) into highly structured, contextually rich, and LLM-ready snippets.

    This MCP Server abstract the StackState APIs. Its primary function is to serve as a Tool/Function Calling target for AI agents. When an AI receives an alert or a user query (e.g., "What caused the outage?"), the AI calls an MCP Server endpoint. The server then fetches the relevant operational facts, summarizes them, normalizes technical identifiers (like URNs and raw metric names) into natural language concepts, and returns a concise JSON or YAML payload. This payload is then injected directly into the LLM's prompt, ensuring the final diagnosis or action is grounded in real-time, accurate SUSE Observability data, effectively minimizing hallucinations.

    Goals

    • Grounding AI Responses: Ensure that all AI diagnoses, root cause analyses, and action recommendations are strictly based on verifiable, real-time data retrieved from the SUSE Observability StackState platform.
    • Simplifying Data Access: Abstract the complexity of StackState's native APIs (e.g., Time Travel, 4T Data Model) into simple, semantic functions that can be easily invoked by LLM tool-calling mechanisms.
    • Data Normalization: Convert complex, technical identifiers (like component URNs, raw metric names, and proprietary health states) into standardized, natural language terms that an LLM can easily reason over.
    • Enabling Automated Remediation: Define clear, action-oriented MCP endpoints (e.g., execute_runbook) that allow the AI agent to initiate automated operational workflows (e.g., restarts, scaling) after a diagnosis, closing the loop on observability.

     Hackweek STEP

    • Create a functional MCP endpoint exposing one (or more) tool(s) to answer queries like "What is the health of service X?") by fetching, normalizing, and returning live StackState data in an LLM-ready format.

     Scope

    • Implement read-only MCP server that can:
      • Connect to a live SUSE Observability instance and authenticate (with API token)
      • Use tools to fetch data for a specific component URN (e.g., current health state, metrics, possibly topology neighbors, ...).
      • Normalize response fields (e.g., URN to "Service Name," health state DEVIATING to "Unhealthy", raw metrics).
      • Return the data as a structured JSON payload compliant with the MCP specification.

    Deliverables

    • MCP Server v0.1 A running Python web server (e.g., using FastAPI) with at least one tool.
    • A README.md and a test script (e.g., curl commands or a simple notebook) showing how an AI agent would call the endpoint and the resulting JSON payload.

    Outcome A functional and testable API endpoint that proves the core concept: translating complex StackState data into a simple, LLM-ready format. This provides the foundation for developing AI-driven diagnostics and automated remediation.
