feat: chat bot foundations with flow retrieval/analysis

[huntergregory]

Description

Building blocks for an LLM-powered app that retrieves and analyzes network flow logs (and eventually other data sources).

Steps

1. Retrieve Hubble flow logs from a cluster with Retina:
   a. Port forward hubble-relay service.
   b. Get flows via gRPC connection.
2. Parse/format the data.
3. Prompt an LLM to analyze.

Architecture

All files are in the ai/ folder.

• main.go acts as the current entry point.
• chat/ package will run a chat loop:
  • Get user input.
  • Choose the scenario to run via LLM call.
  • Run the scenario with parameters provided by LLM.
• scenarios/ package holds scenarios such as "drops" and "dns". Each scenario has:
  • A definition to help decide when to choose this scenario.
  • Logic to run the scenario.
• retrieval/ package holds logic for gathering data.
• lm/ package provides an abstraction for a language model.

Example Output

~/retina/ai$ go run main.go
INFO[0000] starting app...
INFO[0000] retrieved kubeconfig and clientset
INFO[0000] initialized Azure OpenAI model
INFO[0000] handling drops scenario...                    component=chat scenario=drops
INFO[0000] initialized grpc client                       component=flow-retriever
INFO[0018] stopped port-forward                          component=flow-retriever
INFO[0018] saving flows to JSON                          component=flow-retriever
INFO[0019] observed flows                                component=chat scenario=drops
INFO[0028] analyzed flows                                component=chat scenario=drops
Based on the provided "summary of network flow logs," the primary issue appears to be a significant number of dropped connections involving Pods with the prefix "kapinger-bad." Here are the key observations:

1. **Dropped Connections**:
   - Multiple connections from "kapinger-bad" Pods to "kapinger-good" Pods are being dropped. Examples include:
     - `kapinger-bad-7778f55bf8-xhkr5 -> kapinger-good-8468b88556-ccjf5`
     - `kapinger-bad-7778f55bf8-rwqlw -> kapinger-good-8468b88556-8gml7`
     - `kapinger-bad-7778f55bf8-4z6bv -> kapinger-good-8468b88556-ccjf5`
     - `kapinger-bad-7778f55bf8-qdx22 -> kapinger-good-8468b88556-88l77`
     - And many more similar connections.

2. **Successful Connections**:
   - There are successful connections between "kapinger-bad" and "kapinger-good" Pods, indicating that not all traffic is being dropped. However, the presence of dropped connections suggests intermittent issues or specific network policies affecting certain flows.

5. **Network Policies**:
   - The dropped connections might be due to network policies that are selectively allowing or denying traffic between certain Pods. It would be beneficial to review the network policies applied to the "kapinger-bad" and "kapinger-good" namespaces or Pods.

6. **Pod-to-Pod Communication**:
   - Ensure that the network policies, if any, are correctly configured to allow the necessary traffic between the "kapinger-bad" and "kapinger-good" Pods.

7. **Firewall Rules**:
   - Check for any firewall rules or security groups that might be affecting the traffic between these Pods.

8. **Resource Constraints**:
   - Verify if there are any resource constraints or issues on the nodes hosting the "kapinger-bad" Pods that might be causing network drops.

In summary, the primary issue is the dropped connections between "kapinger-bad" and "kapinger-good" Pods. Reviewing and adjusting network policies, firewall rules, and resource allocations should help resolve these connectivity issues.
