SUSE Hack Week: Create tool to analyze supportconfig to spot common SUSE Manager / Uyuni issues

Project Description

A supportconfig provides a lot of files and data from the system, but it is often hard to spot the real issue in it. The idea of this project is to get machine-readable output for the supportconfig data and analyze them.

Then we would try to provide hints using the tool about what is wrong.

The name of this tool is: uyuni-health-check.

GitHub repository: https://github.com/uyuni-project/poc-uyuni-health-check

Summary:

Research about machine learning log anomaly detectors: few alternatives out there.
Getting custom metrics for Salt and Uyuni via prometheus exporter from live server.
Setting up Loki to process relevant Uyuni logs from live server.
Allow data visualization with Grafana.
Really easy-to-use CLI tool to run "health checks" and get feedback.

Details:

Grafana, Loki, Uyuni prometheus exporter and all other components run on "containers"
The containers run on the Uyuni server. "podman" is required on the server.
CLI tool takes care of building and deploying the "container" image to the server, collect the metrics and provide output on the command line.
Prometheus / Grafana expose containers metrics.

Goals for Hackweek #23

Enhance and collect more Uyuni / Salt metrics.
Use "supportconfig" as source for logs/metrics instead of live server.

Achievements during HW #23

Goals for Hackweek #22

Improve CLI and performance.
Fix memory leak on "uyuni-health-exporter".
Complete automated deployment of Loki and other containers.

Achievements during HW #22:

Fix memory leak on uyuni-health-exporter.
Fix python packaging and installation.
Deploy grafana and prometheus dashboard.
Fix loki and promtail deployments.
Run all containers in the same POD.
Unify console logging across deployment functions.
More friendly CLI with new functions.
Containers are not wiped by default after executions.
Minor and cosmetic changes.
Update README.md to reflect latest changes

Goals for this Hackweek #21

Getting a machine readable version of supportconfig
First analysis and tweaking
