🚀 SERAPH: The AI-Powered SRE That’s Changing How We Handle Production Incidents!

The Problem That Keeps Every Developer Awake at Night

Picture this: It’s 3 AM. Your phone buzzes. Production is down. You’re drowning in thousands of log lines, metrics are screaming from every dashboard, and somewhere in that haystack is the needle that explains why your service just crashed. Sound familiar?

Every minute of downtime costs money. Every hour spent debugging is an hour not spent building.

Enter Seraph: Your Autonomous AI Site Reliability Engineer

Imagine having a tireless, brilliant SRE engineer who never sleeps, never gets overwhelmed, and can analyze millions of logs in real-time while simultaneously correlating them with your Git commits, Prometheus metrics, and system health. That’s not science fiction—**that’s Seraph, and it’s available today ! **

🎯 What Makes Seraph a Game-Changer?

1. AUTONOMOUS INTELLIGENCE THAT ACTUALLY THINKS

Seraph doesn’t just grep through logs—it UNDERSTANDS them! Using cutting-edge LLMs (Gemini, Claude, or GPT), it performs intelligent triage and investigation: - Stage 1 - Lightning-Fast Triage: Instantly decides if a log needs attention (alert or ok) - Stage 2 - Deep Investigation: Conducts ReAct-style root cause analysis - Stage 3 - Actionable Reporting: Delivers findings with remediation steps

2. PLUG-AND-PLAY SUPERPOWERS WITH MCP

This is where it gets REALLY exciting! Seraph supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), making it infinitely extensible: - Dynamic Tool Discovery: Connect to ANY MCP server and Seraph automatically learns new capabilities - Built-in Arsenal: Git analysis, Prometheus queries, time zones, weather (yes, even weather-related outages!) - No Code Changes Required: Just point to a new MCP server and watch Seraph evolve

3. CONTEXT-AWARE CONVERSATIONS

Not just another chatbot! Seraph maintains context of your entire system: bash seraph chat --context "What caused the spike in errors last hour?" It remembers the last 100 logs, correlates with recent Git commits, and speaks YOUR application’s language!

4. ENTERPRISE-READY, DEVELOPER-FRIENDLY

Ridiculously Lightweight: Built for performance, runs anywhere
Deploy in 30 Seconds: npm install -g seraph-agent && seraph start
Scales Horizontally: Manages multiple async workers for parallel analysis
Production-Tested: Docker, Kubernetes (Helm chart included!), cloud-ready

🔥 The Magic in Action: Real-World Scenarios

Scenario 1: The Mystery Memory Leak

Traditional Way: 4 hours of grep-ing, correlating timestamps, checking commits manually Seraph Way: - Detects abnormal memory patterns in logs - Automatically correlates with Git: “Memory spike started after commit a3f2b1” - Queries Prometheus: “Container memory usage increased 300% at 14:32” - Root cause identified in 2 minutes!

Scenario 2: The Cascading Failure

Traditional Way: Multiple teams, war rooms, finger-pointing, 6+ hours MTTR Seraph Way: - Identifies initial trigger in service A - Traces impact through services B, C, D - Provides timeline and dependency map - Suggests rollback strategy - Complex incident analyzed in under 5 minutes!

Scenario 3: The Performance Degradation

Traditional Way: Users complain for days before anyone notices Seraph Way: - Proactively detects subtle latency increases - Correlates with recent deployments - Identifies specific API endpoints affected - Problem caught before users even notice!

Seraph Guardian Agent

Seraph is an extremely lightweight, SRE autonomous AI agent designed for seamless integration with common observability tasks.

It is highly scalable, capable of independent asynchronous analysis, and possesses the ability to integrate with other AI agents for automated mitigation and code modifications.

Key Features

Log Ingestion: Integrates with log forwarders like Fluentd, Logstash, and Vector via HTTP.
Autonomous Log Analysis: Uses a configurable LLM provider (Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI) to analyze logs in real-time, detect anomalies, and trigger alerts.
Context-Aware Chat: Chat with the agent about recent logs to gain insights and summaries.
Scalable & Autonomous: Manages multiple asynchronous agent workers for parallel log analysis.
Automated Mitigation: Can be configured to call out to other AI agents for automated mitigation and code modification proposals.
CLI Control: A simple and powerful Command Line Interface for managing the agent’s lifecycle.
Easy to Deploy: Can be deployed locally, on-premise, or in any cloud environment.
Extremely Lightweight: Built with performance in mind to minimize resource consumption.
Integrations: Supports integrations with log forwarders, LLM providers, and monitoring tools.

Built-in SRE Tooling

Seraph now comes with a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides essential SRE tools out-of-the-box. When you start the Seraph agent, it automatically starts a second server on the next available port (e.g., 8081) that provides these tools to the agent for its investigations.

Included Tools

Git: The agent can analyze the Git repository where your application’s source code is located. It can read commit logs to correlate a production error with a recent code change.
Prometheus: The agent can query your Prometheus instance to investigate metrics, alerts, targets, and rules. This enables correlation of log anomalies with system metrics and infrastructure health.

Configuration

To use the built-in tools, configure them in your seraph.config.json:

json { "builtInMcpServer": { "gitRepoPath": "/path/to/your/local/git/repo", "prometheusUrl": "http://localhost:9090" } }

With this configuration, the agent will automatically have access to: - git_log and git_clone tools for code analysis - prometheus_query for custom PromQL queries - prometheus_metrics to explore available metrics - prometheus_alerts to check current alert status - prometheus_targets to verify scrape target health - prometheus_rules to inspect alerting and recording rules

Dynamic Tool Integration with MCP

Seraph now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing it to dynamically connect to and use external tools from any MCP-compliant server. This “plug and play” functionality makes the agent highly extensible and adaptable to new tasks without requiring any code changes.

How It Works

Dynamic Discovery: When you start the agent with a specified MCP server, it connects to the server and automatically discovers the list of available tools.
Intelligent Tool Selection: The agent’s underlying LLM is informed of the available tools and their descriptions. When you chat with the agent, the LLM intelligently decides which tool (if any) is best suited to fulfill your request.
Seamless Execution: The agent then executes the chosen tool and uses its output to formulate a response.

This architecture allows you to easily expand the agent’s capabilities by simply pointing it to a new MCP server.

Using MCP Tools

There are two ways to connect Seraph to MCP servers:

Custom Server: You can connect to any MCP-compliant server using the --mcp-server-url flag. This is useful for development or for connecting to private, custom tool servers.

bash seraph chat "What's the weather in London?" --mcp-server-url https://some-weather-mcp-server.com
Built-in Toolsets: Seraph comes with a curated list of high-quality, pre-configured MCP servers that you can easily use with the --tools flag.

bash seraph chat "What is the current time in Tokyo?" --tools time

To see the list of all available built-in toolsets, run: bash seraph tools list

Security Warning: Only connect to MCP servers that you trust. A malicious MCP server could provide tools that could harm your system or exfiltrate data.

Autonomous Log Analysis and Investigation

Seraph’s core feature is its ability to autonomously analyze logs and perform root cause analysis. The process involves two stages:

Triage: When a log is ingested, it is passed to a triage worker. This worker makes a quick decision on whether the log requires further attention. The model responds with a decision (“alert” or “ok”) and a brief reason.
Investigation: If the decision is “alert”, the log is passed to an investigation worker. This worker uses a ReAct-style loop to conduct a detailed root cause analysis. It can use a variety of tools (like the built-in Git tool) to gather more context.
Reporting: The findings of the investigation, including the root cause analysis, impact assessment, and suggested remediation steps, are saved to a local SQLite database.

This multi-stage process allows Seraph to quickly filter through a high volume of logs and perform deep analysis only when necessary, making it both efficient and powerful.

Setup and Installation

Seraph is distributed as an npm package. You can install it globally to use the CLI anywhere on your system.

bash npm install -g seraph-agent

Note on Native Addons: The agent uses the sqlite3 package to store investigation reports, which is a native Node.js addon. If you encounter installation issues, you may need to install the necessary build tools for your operating system. Please see the “Troubleshooting” section for more details.

Alternatively, you can add it as a dependency to your project:

bash npm install seraph-agent

Configuration

Seraph is configured via a seraph.config.json file in your project root. Environment variables can also be used and will override settings in the file.

For a detailed explanation of all available options, please see the well-commented example configuration file: config.example.json

Environment Variables

The primary LLM API key is configured via environment variables.

GEMINI_API_KEY: Your Gemini API key.
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: Your Anthropic API key.
OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key.

Troubleshooting

`sqlite3` Native Addon Installation Issues

The agent uses the sqlite3 package to store investigation reports, which is a native Node.js addon. If you encounter errors during npm install related to node-gyp or sqlite3, it likely means you are missing the necessary build tools for your operating system.

Windows: bash npm install --global windows-build-tools
macOS:
- Install the Xcode Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install
Debian/Ubuntu: bash sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
