Netpilot - Self-Healing Kubernetes Agent System

Status: 80% Complete (Simulation, Telemetry, Policy Gate, Executor, Evaluation Harness, & Configuration ready)

Project Overview

Netpilot is an autonomous agent system that diagnoses and remediates failures in microservices running on Kubernetes. It uses LLM-guided diagnosis, policy-based validation, and automated remediation to maintain system SLAs.

Architecture:

Kubernetes Cluster
    ├── Services (5 microservices with metrics)
    ├── Prometheus (metrics collection & alert rules)
    └── Alertmanager (alert routing & webhook)
         ↓
    Telemetry Collector
         ↓
    Agent Pipeline (diagnose → rank → validate → execute)
         ↓
    Policy Gate (SLA validation, rollback registry)
         ↓
    Executor (remediation actions via kubectl/REST)
         ↓
    Evaluation Harness (MTTR, FPR, SLA metrics)

✅ Completed Components

1. Simulation Infrastructure (`sim/`)

1.1 Kind Cluster Configuration

File: sim/cluster/kind-config.yaml

1 control-plane node
2 worker nodes
Kubernetes v1.27.0
Ready for Prometheus + Alertmanager + services

1.2 Microservices (5 services)

Location: sim/cluster/services/

Services with inter-service call dependencies:

frontend
  └─→ api-gateway
       ├─→ order-service
       │    ├─→ inventory-service
       │    │    └─→ notification-service
       │    └─→ notification-service
       └─→ inventory-service
            └─→ notification-service

Each service (app.py running FastAPI):

HTTP server on port 8000
Metrics: /metrics endpoint with Prometheus client
- service_requests_total - request counts by status
- service_request_duration_seconds - latency histogram
- service_downstream_calls_total - downstream call tracking
- service_downstream_latency_seconds - downstream latency
Health: /health endpoint, liveness/readiness probes
Endpoints:
- GET / - Service info
- GET /call/{service} - Call specific downstream
- GET /cascade - Call all downstreams (shows cascading failures)
- POST /inject-fault - Fault injection (crash, error_rate)
Containerized: Dockerfile includes fastapi, httpx, prometheus-client

Deployment Manifests (01-frontend.yaml through 05-notification-service.yaml):

Kubernetes Deployment + Service per service
Pod annotations for Prometheus scraping
Resource limits (requests: 100m CPU, 512Mi RAM)
Health probes configured

1.3 Fault Injector CLI

File: sim/fault_injector.py

Three fault scenarios:

pod-crash - Delete pod to trigger Kubernetes restart
- Finds pod via label selector
- Logs event to events.jsonl
- Verifies pod restart
link-degrade - Add network delay + packet loss
- Uses tc netem delay 200ms loss 10%
- Runs for specified duration via kubectl exec
- Automatic cleanup
- Logs degradation config to events.jsonl
cascade - Trigger pod-crash + watch failure propagation
- Crashes target pod
- Monitors upstream services for errors
- Tracks cascade propagation with timing
- Logs each cascade hop to events.jsonl

Event Log Format (events.jsonl):

{
  "timestamp": "2026-04-27T10:15:30.123456",
  "scenario": "pod-crash",
  "target": "notification-service",
  "pod_name": "notification-service-xyz",
  "action": "deleted"
}

Usage:

python sim/fault_injector.py --scenario pod-crash --target notification-service
python sim/fault_injector.py --scenario link-degrade --target order-service --duration 60
python sim/fault_injector.py --scenario cascade --target notification-service --watch-duration 45

2. Monitoring Stack (`sim/cluster/monitoring/`)

2.1 Prometheus

Files: prometheus.yml, 01-prometheus.yaml

Auto-discovery of Kubernetes pods via service discovery
Scrapes /metrics from annotated pods (15s interval)
Stores time-series for 24 hours
ServiceAccount with RBAC for Kubernetes API access
Deployment manifest with ConfigMap integration

2.2 Alert Rules

File: alert-rules.yml

5 Alert Rules:

HighPodRestartRate (Critical)
- Trigger: Pod restarts > 2 in 5 minutes
- Wait: 1 minute
HighErrorRate (Warning)
- Trigger: HTTP error rate > 5% for 2 minutes
- Metric: (5xx errors) / (total requests)
HighLatency (Warning)
- Trigger: P99 latency > 500ms for 2 minutes
- Metric: histogram_quantile(0.99, ...)
ServiceDown (Critical)
- Trigger: Metrics not received for 2 minutes
- Metric: up{job="kubernetes-pods"} == 0
HighDownstreamFailureRate (Warning)
- Trigger: Downstream errors > 10% for 1 minute
- Metric: (downstream errors) / (downstream calls)

2.3 Alertmanager

Files: alertmanager.yml, 02-alertmanager.yaml

Routes critical/cascade alerts to webhook receiver
Groups alerts by name, service, severity
10s group_wait, 1h repeat interval
Webhook receiver at http://alert-receiver:5000/webhook

2.4 Alert Receiver (Custom)

Files: alert-receiver.py, 03-alert-receiver.yaml, alert-receiver.Dockerfile

Flask service on port 5000
Receives webhook alerts from Alertmanager
Stores current & historical alerts in memory + JSONL file
Endpoints:
- POST /webhook - Receive alerts
- GET /alerts - Current active alerts (JSON)
- GET /alerts/active - Only firing alerts
- GET /alerts/history?limit=50 - Historical alerts
- GET /health - Health check

Alert Storage:

In-memory for quick access
JSONL file at /tmp/netpilot-alerts.jsonl for persistence

2.5 Deployment & Utilities

deploy.sh - One-command deployment of monitoring stack
monitoring-utils.sh - Utilities (ports, alerts, logs, status, test)
MONITORING.md - Full documentation
QUICK-REFERENCE.md - Quick start guide

Deployment:

cd sim/cluster/monitoring/
bash deploy.sh

3. Telemetry Collection (`telemetry/`)

3.1 Schemas

File: telemetry/schemas.py

Data Models (Pydantic):

LogEvent - pod logs with timestamp, level, message
KPI - per-service KPIs (error_rate, latency_p50/p95/p99, pod_restarts, downstream_metrics, availability)
Alarm - alerts from Alertmanager (name, status, severity, service, component)
TelemetryBundle - complete snapshot with:
- kpis: Dict[str, KPI]
- logs: Dict[str, List[LogEvent]]
- alarms: List[Alarm]
- collection_errors: List[str]
- services_monitored: List[str]
- Methods: is_healthy(), get_service_summary()

3.2 Collector

File: telemetry/collector.py

TelemetryCollector Class:

Collects on configurable interval (default: 30s)
Uses async/await for non-blocking collection
KPI Queries (Prometheus):
- Error rate: (5xx errors) / (total requests)
- Latency: histogram_quantile(0.50/0.95/0.99, ...)
- Pod restarts (total & 5m)
- Downstream error rates
- Service availability
Log Collection: kubectl logs --tail=50 per pod
- Parses timestamps & log levels
- Captures last 50 lines per service
Alarm Collection: GET /alerts from Alert Receiver
- Fetches current & historical alarms
- Parses timestamps & labels

Typical Collection Time: 100-300ms

CLI Usage:

python telemetry/collector.py \
    --interval 30 \
    --prometheus-url http://localhost:9090 \
    --alertmanager-url http://localhost:5000 \
    --output-file telemetry.jsonl

Programmatic Usage:

import asyncio
from telemetry import TelemetryCollector

async def collect():
    async with TelemetryCollector() as collector:
        bundle = await collector.collect()
    return bundle

asyncio.run(collect())

3.3 Formatter (Token-Aware LLM Integration)

File: telemetry/formatter.py

Output Formats:

to_json() - Full structured JSON (~1432 tokens for typical bundle)
to_dict() - Python dictionary
to_markdown() - Human-readable report with tables (~627 tokens typical)
to_context_window(max_tokens=3000) - LLM-optimized compact JSON with intelligent truncation
to_compact_json(max_tokens=3000) - Alias for to_context_window()
to_jsonl() - Single-line JSON for logging (~1083 tokens typical)

Token-Aware Context Window Features (NEW):

Token Estimation: Automatic token counting (1 token ≈ 4 chars)
Intelligent Truncation - Priority-based when exceeding limit:
1. Critical alarms - NEVER truncated
2. Unhealthy services - NEVER truncated
3. Warning alarms - truncated (least to most severe)
4. High latency services - truncated
5. Error logs - truncated (oldest first)
6. Healthy services - truncated (least-anomalous first)
Compact JSON Output - Optimized for LLM consumption
Metadata Header - Shows token usage: # TELEMETRY (tokens:349/3000)

Context Window Example (Compact JSON):

# TELEMETRY (tokens:349/3000)
{
  "snapshot": {
    "timestamp": "2026-04-27T10:15:30.123456",
    "health": "DEGRADED",
    "collection_ms": 125
  },
  "critical_issues": [
    {"alert": "ServiceDown", "service": "notification-service", "summary": "..."}
  ],
  "warnings": [
    {"alert": "HighErrorRate", "service": "order-service", "summary": "..."}
  ],
  "unhealthy_services": {
    "notification-service": {"available": false, "error_rate_pct": 100.0, "p99_ms": null},
    "order-service": {"available": true, "error_rate_pct": 8.5, "p99_ms": 450}
  },
  "high_latency": {
    "api-gateway": {"p99_ms": 650, "p95_ms": 500}
  },
  "healthy_services": {
    "frontend": {"error_rate_pct": 0.2, "requests_5m": 450, "p99_ms": 150}
  },
  "recent_errors": [
    {"service": "notification-service", "level": "ERROR", "message": "Connection refused...", "timestamp": "..."}
  ]
}

Token Management:

Default limit: 3000 tokens (conservative for most LLM context windows)
Typical output: 300-350 tokens for realistic failure scenarios
Guaranteed compliance: Never exceeds configured token limit
Test coverage: Validated against 500-5000 token limits

🔑 Key Design Decisions

Kubernetes-native: Uses kubectl for pod operations, native service discovery
Async collection: TelemetryCollector uses asyncio for non-blocking I/O
LLM-optimized context: to_context_window() format prioritizes critical info
Event-driven: Fault injector + event log enables reproducible testing
Policy-gated execution: Actions validated before execution
Multi-format telemetry: JSON, Markdown, context-window, JSONL for different consumers
