Opni = AIOps for Kubernetes + Observability Tools

Opni currently features log anomaly detection for Kubernetes.

What does Opni give me?

• AI generated insights on your cluster's log messages
  • Control Plane & etcd insights
    • Pretrained models maintained by Rancher Labs
    • Only for RKE1, RKE2, k3s clusters
  • Workload & application insights
    • Automatically learns what steady-state is in your workloads & applications
    • For any Kubernetes cluster
• Every log message sent to Opni will be marked as:
  • Normal
  • Suspicious - Operators may want to investigate
  • Anomalous - Operators definitely should investigate
• Open Distro for Elasticsearch + Kibana
  • Opni dashboard to consume log insights & explore logs
  • Ability to setup & send alerts (slack/email/etc) based on Opni log insights

Try it out!

On a VM with 4 vCPUs & 16 GB RAM:

1. Create a RKE2 cluster with Opni installed

   curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/opni-docs/main/quickstart_files/install_opni.sh | sh -
   

2. Copy the NodePort from the script output
   • View insights at [IPV4_ADDRESS]:[NODE_PORT]

To inject an error into the demo cluster press 'Enter' when prompted by the script. You can view this in the Opni Dashboard.

What's next?

• v0.1.1 (released) allows you to view Opni's log anomaly insights only on a demo environment created on a VM
• v0.1.2 (June 25, 2021) will allow you install Opni into your existing Kubernetes cluster and consume log insights from it
• v0.2.0 (Fall 2021) will introduce AI applied to metrics, kubernetes events, audit logs, and more!
