## Ways to Use HolmesGPT
Analyze your alerts in a free UI
Includes free use of the Robusta AI model.
[Sign up for Robusta SaaS](https://platform.robusta.dev/signup/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=holmesgpt-readme) (Kubernetes cluster required) or contact us about on-premise options.
Add root-cause-analysis to Prometheus alerts in Slack
Investigate Prometheus alerts right from Slack with the official [Robusta integration](https://docs.robusta.dev/holmes_chart_dependency/configuration/ai-analysis.html).
Or run HolmesGPT from the cli:
```bash
kubectl port-forward alertmanager-robusta-kube-prometheus-st-alertmanager-0 9093:9093 &
holmes investigate alertmanager --alertmanager-url http://localhost:9093
```
Note - if on Mac OS and using the Docker image, you will need to use `http://docker.for.mac.localhost:9093` instead of `http://localhost:9093`
Query observability data in human language
Via the Holmes CLI or [a free UI (video)](https://www.loom.com/share/3cdcd94ed6bc458888b338493b108d1d?t=0)
```bash
holmes ask "what pods are in crashloopbackoff in my cluster and why?"
```
OpsGenie Integration
```bash
holmes investigate opsgenie --opsgenie-api-key
```
By default results are displayed in the CLI . Use `--update --opsgenie-team-integration-key ` to get the results as a comment in the OpsGenie alerts. Refer to the CLI help for more info.
PagerDuty Integration
```bash
holmes investigate pagerduty --pagerduty-api-key
```
By default results are displayed in the CLI. Use `--update --pagerduty-user-email ` to get the results as a comment in the PagerDuty issue. Refer to the CLI help for more info.
K9s Plugin
You can add HolmesGPT as a plugin for K9s to investigate why any Kubernetes resource is unhealthy.
Add the following contents to the K9s plugin file, typically `~/.config/k9s/plugins.yaml` on Linux and `~/Library/Application Support/k9s/plugins.yaml` on Mac. Read more about K9s plugins [here](https://k9scli.io/topics/plugins/) and check your plugin path [here](https://github.com/derailed/k9s?tab=readme-ov-file#k9s-configuration).
**Note**: HolmesGPT must be installed and configured for the K9s plugin to work.
Basic plugin to run an investigation on any Kubernetes object, using the shortcut `Shift + H`:
```yaml
plugins:
holmesgpt:
shortCut: Shift-H
description: Ask HolmesGPT
scopes:
- all
command: bash
background: false
confirm: false
args:
- -c
- |
holmes ask "why is $NAME of $RESOURCE_NAME in -n $NAMESPACE not working as expected"
echo "Press 'q' to exit"
while : ; do
read -n 1 k <&1
if [[ $k = q ]] ; then
break
fi
done
```
Advanced plugin that lets you modify the questions HolmesGPT asks about the LLM, using the shortcut `Shift + O`. (E.g. you can change the question to "generate an HPA for this deployment" and the AI will follow those instructions and output an HPA configuration.)
```yaml
plugins:
custom-holmesgpt:
shortCut: Shift-Q
description: Custom HolmesGPT Ask
scopes:
- all
command: bash
- |
INSTRUCTIONS="# Edit the line below. Lines starting with '#' will be ignored."
DEFAULT_ASK_COMMAND="why is $NAME of $RESOURCE_NAME in -n $NAMESPACE not working as expected"
QUESTION_FILE=$(mktemp)
echo "$INSTRUCTIONS" > "$QUESTION_FILE"
echo "$DEFAULT_ASK_COMMAND" >> "$QUESTION_FILE"
# Open the line in the default text editor
${EDITOR:-nano} "$QUESTION_FILE"
# Read the modified line, ignoring lines starting with '#'
user_input=$(grep -v '^#' "$QUESTION_FILE")
echo running: holmes ask "\"$user_input\""
holmes ask "$user_input"
echo "Press 'q' to exit"
while : ; do
read -n 1 k <&1
if [[ $k = q ]] ; then
break
fi
done
```
Importing Holmes as a Python library and bringing your own LLM
You can use Holmes as a library and pass in your own LLM implementation. This is particularly useful if LiteLLM or the default Holmes implementation does not suit you.
See an example implementation [here](examples/custom_llm.py).
Like what you see? Discover [more use cases](#more-use-cases) or get started by [installing HolmesGPT](#installation).
## Installation
**Prerequisite:** Get an API key for a supported LLM.
**Installation Methods:**
Brew (Mac/Linux)
1. Add our tap:
```sh
brew tap robusta-dev/homebrew-holmesgpt
```
2. Install holmesgpt:
```sh
brew install holmesgpt
```
3. Check that installation was successful. **This will take a few seconds on the first run - wait patiently.**:
```sh
holmes --help
```
4. Run holmesgpt:
```sh
holmes ask "what issues do I have in my cluster"
```
Prebuilt Docker Container
Run the prebuilt Docker container `docker.pkg.dev/genuine-flight-317411/devel/holmes`, with extra flags to mount relevant config files (so that kubectl and other tools can access AWS/GCP resources using your local machine's credentials)
```bash
docker run -it --net=host -v ~/.holmes:/root/.holmes -v ~/.aws:/root/.aws -v ~/.config/gcloud:/root/.config/gcloud -v $HOME/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/genuine-flight-317411/devel/holmes ask "what pods are unhealthy and why?"
```
Cutting Edge (Pip and Pipx)
You can install HolmesGPT from the latest git version with pip or pipx.
We recommend using pipx because it guarantees that HolmesGPT is isolated from other python packages on your system, preventing dependency conflicts.
First [Pipx](https://github.com/pypa/pipx) (skip this step if you are using pip).
Then install HolmesGPT from git with either pip or pipx:
```
pipx install "https://github.com/robusta-dev/holmesgpt/archive/refs/heads/master.zip"
```
Verify that HolmesGPT was installed by checking the version:
```
holmes version
```
To upgrade HolmesGPT with pipx, you can run:
```
pipx upgrade holmesgpt
```
From Source (Python Poetry)
First [install poetry (the python package manager)](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-the-official-installer)
```
git clone https://github.com/robusta-dev/holmesgpt.git
cd holmesgpt
poetry install --no-root
poetry run python3 holmes.py ask "what pods are unhealthy and why?"
```
From Source (Docker)
Clone the project from github, and then run:
```bash
cd holmesgpt
docker build -t holmes . -f Dockerfile.dev
docker run -it --net=host -v -v ~/.holmes:/root/.holmes -v ~/.aws:/root/.aws -v ~/.config/gcloud:/root/.config/gcloud -v $HOME/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config holmes ask "what pods are unhealthy and why?"
```
Run HolmesGPT in your cluster (Helm)
Most users should install Holmes using the instructions in the [Robusta docs ↗](https://docs.robusta.dev/master/configuration/ai-analysis.html) and NOT the below instructions.
By using the ``Robusta`` integration you’ll benefit from an end-to-end integration that integrates with ``Prometheus alerts`` and ``Slack``. Using the below instructions you’ll have to build many of those components yourself.
In this mode, all the parameters should be passed to the HolmesGPT deployment, using environment variables.
We recommend pulling sensitive variables from Kubernetes ``secrets``.
First, you'll need to create your ``holmes-values.yaml`` file, for example:
additionalEnvVars:
- name: MODEL
value: gpt-4o
- name: OPENAI_API_KEY
value:
Then, install with ``helm``;
helm repo add robusta https://robusta-charts.storage.googleapis.com && helm repo update
helm install holmes robusta/holmes -f holmes-values.yaml
For all LLMs you need to provide the ``MODEL`` environment variable, which specifies which model you are using.
Some LLMs requires additional variables:
OpenAI
For OpenAI, only the ``model`` and ``api-key`` should be provided
additionalEnvVars:
- name: MODEL
value: gpt-4o
- name: OPENAI_API_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
name: my-holmes-secret
key: openAiKey
**Note**: ``gpt-4o`` is optional since it's default model.
Azure OpenAI
To work with Azure AI, you need to provide the below variables:
additionalEnvVars:
- name: MODEL
value: azure/my-azure-deployment # your azure deployment name
- name: AZURE_API_VERSION
value: 2024-02-15-preview # azure openai api version
- name: AZURE_API_BASE
value: https://my-org.openai.azure.com/ # base azure openai url
- name: AZURE_API_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
name: my-holmes-secret
key: azureOpenAiKey
AWS Bedrock
enablePostProcessing: true
additionalEnvVars:
- name: MODEL
value: bedrock/anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0
- name: AWS_REGION_NAME
value: us-east-1
- name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
name: my-holmes-secret
key: awsAccessKeyId
- name: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
name: my-holmes-secret
key: awsSecretAccessKey
**Note**: ``bedrock claude`` provides better results when using post-processing to summarize the results.
### Getting an API Key
HolmesGPT requires an LLM API Key to function. The most common option is OpenAI, but many [LiteLLM-compatible](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers/) models are supported. To use an LLM, set `--model` (e.g. `gpt-4o` or `bedrock/anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0`) and `--api-key` (if necessary). Depending on the provider, you may need to set environment variables too.
**Instructions for popular LLMs:**
OpenAI
To work with OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 or GPT-4 models you need a paid [OpenAI API key](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936850-where-do-i-find-my-openai-api-key).
**Note**: This is different from being a “ChatGPT Plus” subscriber.
Pass your API key to holmes with the `--api-key` cli argument. Because OpenAI is the default LLM, the `--model` flag is optional for OpenAI (gpt-4o is the default).
```
holmes ask --api-key="..." "what pods are crashing in my cluster and why?"
```
If you prefer not to pass secrets on the cli, set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable or save the API key in a HolmesGPT config file.
Azure OpenAI
To work with Azure AI, you need an [Azure OpenAI resource](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/create-resource?pivots=web-portal#create-a-resource) and to set the following environment variables:
* AZURE_API_VERSION - e.g. 2024-02-15-preview
* AZURE_API_BASE - e.g. https://my-org.openai.azure.com/
* AZURE_API_KEY (optional) - equivalent to the `--api-key` cli argument
Set those environment variables and run:
```bash
holmes ask "what pods are unhealthy and why?" --model=azure/ --api-key=
```
Refer [LiteLLM Azure docs ↗](https://litellm.vercel.app/docs/providers/azure) for more details.
AWS Bedrock
Before running the below command you must run `pip install boto3>=1.28.57` and set the following environment variables:
* `AWS_REGION_NAME`
* `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`
* `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`
If the AWS cli is already configured on your machine, you may be able to find those parameters with:
```console
cat ~/.aws/credentials ~/.aws/config
```
Once everything is configured, run:
```console
holmes ask "what pods are unhealthy and why?" --model=bedrock/
```
Be sure to replace `MODEL_NAME` with a model you have access to - e.g. `anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0`. To list models your account can access:
```
aws bedrock list-foundation-models --region=us-east-1
```
Note that different models are available in different regions. For example, Claude Opus is only available in us-west-2.
Refer to [LiteLLM Bedrock docs ↗](https://litellm.vercel.app/docs/providers/bedrock) for more details.
Using Ollama
Ollama is supported, but buggy. We recommend using other models if you can, until Ollama tool-calling capabilities improve.
Specifically, Ollama often calls tools with non-existent or missing parameters.
If you'd like to try using Ollama anyway, see below:
```
export OLLAMA_API_BASE="http://localhost:11434"
holmes ask "what pods are unhealthy in my cluster?" --model="ollama_chat/llama3.1"
```
You can also connect to Ollama in the standard OpenAI format (this should be equivalent to the above):
```
# note the v1 at the end
export OPENAI_API_BASE="http://localhost:11434/v1"
# holmes requires OPENAPI_API_KEY to be set but value does not matter
export OPENAI_API_KEY=123
holmes ask "what pods are unhealthy in my cluster?" --model="openai/llama3.1"
```
Gemini/Google AI Studio
To use Gemini, set the `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable as follows:
```bash
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-gemini-api-key"
```
Once the environment variable is set, you can run the following command to interact with Gemini:
```bash
holmes ask "what pods are unhealthy and why?" --model=gemini/
```
Be sure to replace `MODEL_NAME` with a model you have access to - e.g., `gemini-pro`,`gemini/gemini-1.5-flash`, etc.
Vertex AI Gemini
To use Vertex AI with Gemini models, set the following environment variables:
```bash
export VERTEXAI_PROJECT="your-project-id"
export VERTEXAI_LOCATION="us-central1"
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="path/to/your/service_account_key.json"
```
Once the environment variables are set, you can run the following command to interact with Vertex AI Gemini models:
```bash
poetry run python holmes.py ask "what pods are unhealthy and why?" --model "vertex_ai/"
```
Be sure to replace `MODEL_NAME` with a model you have access to - e.g., `gemini-pro`,`gemini-2.0-flash-exp`, etc.
Ensure you have the correct project, location, and credentials for accessing the desired Vertex AI model.
Using other OpenAI-compatible models
You will need an LLM with support for function-calling (tool-calling).
* Set the environment variable for your URL with `OPENAI_API_BASE`
* Set the model as `openai/` (e.g., `llama3.1:latest`)
* Set your API key (if your URL doesn't require a key, then add a random value for `--api-key`)
```bash
export OPENAI_API_BASE=
holmes ask "what pods are unhealthy and why?" --model=openai/ --api-key=
```
**Important: Please verify that your model and inference server support function calling! HolmesGPT is currently unable to check if the LLM it was given supports function-calling or not. Some models that lack function-calling capabilities will hallucinate answers instead of reporting that they are unable to call functions. This behaviour depends on the model.**
In particular, note that [vLLM does not yet support function calling](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/1869), whereas [llama-cpp does support it](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python?tab=readme-ov-file#function-calling).
**Additional LLM Configuration:**
Trusting custom Certificate Authority (CA) certificate
If your llm provider url uses a certificate from a custom CA, in order to trust it, base-64 encode the certificate, and store it in an environment variable named CERTIFICATE
### Enabling Integrations
Confluence
HolmesGPT can read runbooks from Confluence. To give it access, set the following environment variables:
* CONFLUENCE_BASE_URL - e.g. https://robusta-dev-test.atlassian.net
* CONFLUENCE_USER - e.g. [email protected]
* CONFLUENCE_API_KEY - [refer to Atlassian docs on generating API keys](https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-account/docs/manage-api-tokens-for-your-atlassian-account/)
Jira, GitHub, OpsGenie, PagerDuty, and AlertManager
HolmesGPT can pull tickets/alerts from each of these sources and investigate them.
Refer to `holmes investigate jira --help` etc for details.
Fetching runbooks through URLs
HolmesGPT can consult webpages containing runbooks or other relevant information.
HolmesGPT uses playwright to scrape webpages and requires playwright to be installed and working through `playwright install`.
ArgoCD
Holmes can use the `argocd` CLI to get details about the ArgoCD setup like the apps configuration and status, clusters and projects within ArgoCD.
To enable ArgoCD, set the `ARGOCD_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable as described in the [argocd documentation](https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/commands/argocd_account_generate-token/).
## More Use Cases
HolmesGPT was designed for incident response, but it is a general DevOps assistant too. Here are some examples:
Ask Questions About Your Cloud
```bash
holmes ask "what services does my cluster expose externally?"
```
Ticket Management - Automatically Respond to Jira tickets related to DevOps tasks
```bash
holmes investigate jira --jira-url https://.atlassian.net --jira-username --jira-api-key
```
Find the right configuration to change in big Helm charts
LLM uses the built-in [Helm toolset](./holmes/plugins/toolsets/helm.yaml) to gather information.
```bash
holmes ask "what helm value should I change to increase memory request of the my-argo-cd-argocd-server-6864949974-lzp6m pod"
```
Optimize Docker container size
LLM uses the built-in [Docker toolset](./holmes/plugins/toolsets/docker.yaml) to gather information.
```bash
holmes ask "Tell me what layers of my pavangudiwada/robusta-ai docker image consume the most storage and suggest some fixes to it"
```
## Customizing HolmesGPT
HolmesGPT can investigate many issues out of the box, with no customization or training.
That said, we provide several extension points for teaching HolmesGPT to investigate your issues, according to your best practices. The two main extension points are:
* Custom Tools - give HolmesGPT access to data that it can't otherwise access - e.g. traces, APM data, or custom APIs
* Custom Runbooks - give HolmesGPT instructions for investigating specific issues it otherwise wouldn't know how to handle
Add Custom Tools
The more data you give HolmesGPT, the better it will perform. Give it access to more data by adding custom tools.
New tools are loaded using `-t` from [custom toolset files](./examples/custom_toolset.yaml) or by adding them to the `~/.holmes/config.yaml` with the setting `custom_toolsets: ["/path/to/toolset.yaml"]`.
Add Custom Runbooks
HolmesGPT can investigate by following runbooks written in plain English. Add your own runbooks to provided the LLM specific instructions.
New runbooks are loaded using `-r` from [custom runbook files](./examples/custom_runbooks.yaml) or by adding them to the `~/.holmes/config.yaml` with the `custom_runbooks: ["/path/to/runbook.yaml"]`.
Reading settings from a config file
You can customize HolmesGPT's behaviour with command line flags, or you can save common settings in config file for re-use.
You can view an example config file with all available settings [here](config.example.yaml).
By default, without specifying `--config` the agent will try to read `~/.holmes/config.yaml`. When settings are present in both config file and cli, the cli option takes precedence.
Custom Toolsets
You can define your own custom toolsets to extend the functionality of your setup. These toolsets can include querying company-specific data, fetching logs from observability tools, and more.
```bash
# Add paths to your custom toolsets here
# Example: ["path/to/your/custom_toolset.yaml"]
#custom_toolsets: ["examples/custom_toolset.yaml"]
```
Alertmanager Configuration
Configure the URL for your Alertmanager instance to enable alert management and notifications.
```bash
# URL for the Alertmanager
#alertmanager_url: "http://localhost:9093"
```
Jira Integration
Integrate with Jira to automate issue tracking and project management tasks. Provide your Jira credentials and specify the query to fetch issues and optionally update their status.
```bash
# Jira credentials and query settings
#jira_username: "[email protected]"
#jira_api_key: "..."
#jira_url: "https://your-company.atlassian.net"
#jira_query: "project = 'Natan Test Project' and Status = 'To Do'"

#github_repository: "holmesgpt"
#github_query: "is:issue is:open"
```
1. **github_owner**: The repository owner. Eg: `robusta-dev`
2. **github_pat**: Follow these [instructions](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#creating-a-fine-grained-personal-access-token) to get your GitHub pat (*personal access token*).
3. **github_url**: The URL of your GitHub API. For example: [https://api.github.com](https://api.github.com) (**Note:** schema (https) is required)
4. **github_repository**: Name of the repository you want the GitHub issues to be scanned. Eg: `holmesgpt`.
PagerDuty Integration
Integrate with PagerDuty to automate incident tracking and project management tasks. Provide your PagerDuty credentials and specify the user email to update the incident with findings.
```bash
pagerduty_api_key: "..."
pagerduty_user_email: "[email protected]"
pagerduty_incident_key: "..."
```
1. **pagerduty_api_key**: The PagerDuty API key. This can be found in the PagerDuty UI under Integrations > API Access Key.
2. **pagerduty_user_email**: When --update is set, which user will be listed as the user who updated the incident. (Must be the email of a valid user in your PagerDuty account.)
3. **pagerduty_incident_key**: If provided, only analyze a single PagerDuty incident matching this key
OpsGenie Integration
Integrate with OpsGenie to automate alert investigations. Provide your OpsGenie credentials and specify the query to fetch alerts.
```bash
opsgenie_api_key : "..."

2. **slack-channel**: The Slack channel where you want to receive the findings.
Custom Runbooks
Define custom runbooks to give explicit instructions to the LLM on how to investigate certain alerts. This can help in achieving better results for known alerts.
```bash
# Add paths to your custom runbooks here
# Example: ["path/to/your/custom_runbook.yaml"]
#custom_runbooks: ["examples/custom_runbooks.yaml"]
```

## How to Contribute
To contribute to HolmesGPT, first follow the Installation instructions for **running HolmesGPT from source using Poetry.** Then follow an appropriate guide below, or ask us for help on [Slack](https://bit.ly/robusta-slack)
Adding new runbooks
You can contribute knowledge on solving common alerts and HolmesGPT will use this knowledge to solve related issues. To do so, add a new file to [./holmes/plugins/runbooks](holmes/plugins/runbooks) - or edit an existing runbooks file in that same directory.
Note: if you prefer to keep your runbooks private, you can store them locally and pass them to HolmesGPT with the `-r` flag. However, if your runbooks relate to common problems that others may encounter, please consider opening a PR and making HolmesGPT better for everyone!
Adding new toolsets
You can add define new tools in YAML and HolmesGPT will use those tools in it's investigation. To do so, add a new file to [./holmes/plugins/toolsets](holmes/plugins/toolsets) - or edit an existing toolsets file in that same directory.
Note: if you prefer to keep your tools private, you can store them locally and pass them to HolmesGPT with the `-t` flag. However, please consider contributing your toolsets! At least one other community member will probably find them useful!
Modifying the default prompts (prompt engineering)
The default prompts for HolmesGPT are located in [./holmes/plugins/prompts](holmes/plugins/prompts). Most `holmes` commands accept a `--system-prompt` flag that you can use to override this.
If you find a scenario where the default prompts don't work, please consider letting us know by opening a GitHub issue or messaging us on Slack! We have an internal evaluation framework for benchmarking prompts on many troubleshooting scenarios and if you share a case where HolmesGPT doesn't work, we will be able to add it to our test framework and fix the performance on that issue and similar ones.
Adding new data sources
If you want HolmesGPT to investigate external tickets or alert, you can add a new datasource. This requires modifying the source code and opening a PR. [You can see an example PR like that here, which added support for investigating GitHub issues](https://github.com/robusta-dev/holmesgpt/pull/28/files).
