Triage

Capture crashes and errors from your machines, decide which are worth fixing, and suggest fixes.

Overview

Capture crashes and errors from your machines, decide which are worth fixing, and suggest fixes.

Triage reads the systemd journal on each of your machines, picks out crashes, failed units, out-of-memory kills and errors, and groups them into issues on one server. A decision model can then tell you which issues are worth fixing, and a language model can suggest how.

# The issues on this machine, most recently seen first
triage collect
triage issues

# Ask a language model how to fix one
triage suggest <issue>

How it fits together

Hosts read the logs
The server groups them into issues
Models decide and suggest

Triage has four roles, and any machine can take on any of them:

Role Runs Does
Collect triage collect --follow --upload Reads the journal, redacts what it finds and sends it to the server
Serve triage serve Stores events, groups them into issues and enforces the daily AI limits
Decide triage work --decide or serve --decide Asks a decision model which new issues are worth fixing
Suggest triage work --suggest or serve --suggest Asks a language model how to fix the issues worth fixing

A small always-on box, such as a Home Assistant Green, can serve, while a desktop with a GPU decides and suggests as a worker. The worker pulls work from the server, so the models only need to be reachable from the worker, and nothing queues up while it’s off.

AI only runs when you ask for it. Decide and suggest are off until you turn them on, and stop at their daily limits.
