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.

    mgr-ansible-ssh - Intelligent, Lightweight CLI for Distributed Remote Execution by deve5h

    Description

    By the end of Hack Week, the target will be to deliver a minimal functional version 1 (MVP) of a custom command-line tool named mgr-ansible-ssh (a unified wrapper for BOTH ad-hoc shell & playbooks) that allows operators to:

    1. Execute arbitrary shell commands on thousand of remote machines simultaneously using Ansible Runner with artifacts saved locally.
    2. Pass runtime options such as inventory file, remote command string/ playbook execution, parallel forks, limits, dry-run mode, or no-std-ansible-output.
    3. Leverage existing SSH trust relationships without additional setup.
    4. Provide a clean, intuitive CLI interface with --help for ease of use. It should provide consistent UX & CI-friendly interface.
    5. Establish a foundation that can later be extended with advanced features such as logging, grouping, interactive shell mode, safe-command checks, and parallel execution tuning.

    The MVP should enable day-to-day operations to efficiently target thousands of machines with a single, consistent interface.

    Goals

    Primary Goals (MVP):

    Build a functional CLI tool (mgr-ansible-ssh) capable of executing shell commands on multiple remote hosts using Ansible Runner. Test the tool across a large distributed environment (1000+ machines) to validate its performance and reliability.

    Looking forward to significantly reducing the zypper deployment time across all 351 RMT VM servers in our MLM cluster by eliminating the dependency on the taskomatic service, bringing execution down to a fraction of the current duration. The tool should also support multiple runtime flags, such as:

    mgr-ansible-ssh: Remote command execution wrapper using Ansible Runner
    
    Usage: mgr-ansible-ssh [--help] [--version] [--inventory INVENTORY]
                       [--run RUN] [--playbook PLAYBOOK] [--limit LIMIT]
                       [--forks FORKS] [--dry-run] [--no-ansible-output]
    
    Required Arguments
    --inventory, -i      Path to Ansible inventory file to use
    
    Any One of the Arguments Is Required
    --run, -r            Execute the specified shell command on target hosts
    --playbook, -p       Execute the specified Ansible playbook on target hosts
    
    Optional Arguments
    --help, -h           Show the help message and exit
    --version, -v        Show the version and exit
    --limit, -l          Limit execution to specific hosts or groups
    --forks, -f          Number of parallel Ansible forks
    --dry-run            Run in Ansible check mode (requires -p or --playbook)
    --no-ansible-output  Suppress Ansible stdout output
    

    Secondary/Stretched Goals (if time permits):

    1. Add pretty output formatting (success/failure summary per host).
    2. Implement basic logging of executed commands and results.
    3. Introduce safety checks for risky commands (shutdown, rm -rf, etc.).
    4. Package the tool so it can be installed with pip or stored internally.

    Resources

    Collaboration is welcome from anyone interested in CLI tooling, automation, or distributed systems. Skills that would be particularly valuable include:

    1. Python especially around CLI dev (argparse, click, rich)


    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

    Enhance setup wizard for Uyuni by PSuarezHernandez

    Description

    This project wants to enhance the intial setup on Uyuni after its installation, so it's easier for a user to start using with it.

    Uyuni currently uses "uyuni-tools" (mgradm) as the installation entrypoint, to trigger the installation of Uyuni in the given host, but does not really perform an initial setup, for instance:

    • user creation
    • adding products / channels
    • generating bootstrap repos
    • create activation keys

    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

    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

    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 Golang MCP server 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.

    Song Search with CLAP by gcolangiuli

    Description

    Contrastive Language-Audio Pretraining (CLAP) is an open-source library that enables the training of a neural network on both Audio and Text descriptions, making it possible to search for Audio using a Text input. Several pre-trained models for song search are already available on huggingface

    SUSE Hackweek AI Song Search

    Goals

    Evaluate how CLAP can be used for song searching and determine which types of queries yield the best results by developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in Python. Based on the results of this MVP, future steps could include:

    • Music Tagging;
    • Free text search;
    • Integration with an LLM (for example, with MCP or the OpenAI API) for music suggestions based on your own library.

    The code for this project will be entirely written using AI to better explore and demonstrate AI capabilities.

    Result

    In this MVP we implemented:

    • Async Song Analysis with Clap model
    • Free Text Search of the songs
    • Similar song search based on vector representation
    • Containerised version with web interface

    We also documented what went well and what can be improved in the use of AI.

    You can have a look at the result here:

    Future implementation can be related to performance improvement and stability of the analysis.

    GenAI-Powered Systemic Bug Evaluation and Management Assistant by rtsvetkov

    Motivation

    What is the decision critical question which one can ask on a bug? How this question affects the decision on a bug and why?

    Let's make GenAI look on the bug from the systemic point and evaluate what we don't know. Which piece of information is missing to take a decision?

    Description

    To build a tool 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 or Systemic 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/Systemic Strategy Implementation

    1. Refine the logic to ensure the questions follow a Socratic and Systemic path (e.g., from symptom-> context -> assumptions -> -> critical parts -> ).
    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."
    3. Implement Bugzillla call to collect the
    4. Implement Questioning Framework as LLVM pre-conditioning
    5. Define set of instructions
    6. Assemble the Tool

    Resources

    What are Systemic Questions?

    Systemic questions explore the relationships, patterns, and interactions within a system rather than focusing on isolated elements.
    In IT, they help uncover hidden dependencies, feedback loops, assumptions, and side-effects during debugging or architecture analysis.

    Local AI assistant with optional integrations and mobile companion by livdywan

    Description

    Setup a local AI assistant for research, brainstorming and proof reading. Look into SurfSense, Open WebUI and possibly alternatives. Explore integration with services like openQA. There should be no cloud dependencies. Mobile phone support or an additional companion app would be a bonus. The goal is not to develop everything from scratch.

    User Story

    • Allison Average wants a one-click local AI assistent on their openSUSE laptop.
    • Ash Awesome wants AI on their phone without an expensive subscription.

    Goals

    • Evaluate a local SurfSense setup for day to day productivity
    • Test opencode for vibe coding and tool calling

    Timeline

    Day 1

    • Took a look at SurfSense and started setting up a local instance.
    • Unfortunately the container setup did not work well. Tho this was a great opportunity to learn some new podman commands and refresh my memory on how to recover a corrupted btrfs filesystem.

    Day 2

    • Due to its sheer size and complexity SurfSense seems to have triggered btrfs fragmentation. Naturally this was not visible in any podman-related errors or in the journal. So this took up much of my second day.

    Day 3

    Day 4

    • Context size is a thing, and models are not equally usable for vibe coding.
    • Through arduous browsing for ollama models I did find some like myaniu/qwen2.5-1m:7b with 1m but even then it is not obvious if they are meant for tool calls.

    Day 5

    • Whilst trying to make opencode usable I discovered ramalama which worked instantly and very well.

    Outcomes

    surfsense

    I could not easily set this up completely. Maybe in part due to my filesystem issues. Was expecting this to be less of an effort.

    opencode

    Installing opencode and ollama in my distrobox container along with the following configs worked for me.

    When preparing a new project from scratch it is a good idea to start out with a template.

    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 ...

    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:
