Error Detection Sources

1. Log Files

/var/log/syslog - System logs
/tmp/crm-backend.log - CRM backend
/tmp/insa-crm.log - INSA CRM core
/var/log/defectdojo_remediation_agent.log - DefectDojo
Custom application logs

Detection Patterns:

ERROR: - Standard error logging
CRITICAL: - Critical failures
Exception: - Python exceptions
Traceback (most recent call last): - Stack traces
fatal: - Fatal errors
panic: - Go panics

2. Systemd Services

Checks systemctl list-units --state=failed
Detects service crashes and failures
Monitors 20+ INSA services

3. Docker Containers

Checks docker ps -a --filter status=exited
Detects abnormal container exits
Tracks restart loops

4. Application Errors (Future)

Exception tracking middleware
API error monitoring
Frontend error logging

Automated Fixing Capabilities

Service Restart

# Automatically restarts failed systemd services
sudo systemctl restart <service-name>

Safety: Only restarts if service has not failed >3 times in last hour

Container Restart

# Automatically restarts crashed containers
docker restart <container-name>

Safety: Checks container health before declaring success

Config Adjustment

Fixes common misconfigurations
Reverts bad changes
Validates before applying

Dependency Resolution

Reinstalls missing Python packages
Updates npm dependencies
Rebuilds containers if needed

Learning System

The Bug Hunter uses a self-improving AI that learns from every fix:

How It Learns

Pattern Recognition
- Each bug creates unique hash: error_type:message_hash
- Tracks which fixes work for which errors
- Builds confidence scores over time
Success Tracking
```
Confidence = success_count / (success_count + failure_count)
```
- Patterns with >70% confidence are auto-applied
- Patterns <30% confidence require human review
Pattern Evolution
- High-confidence patterns used first
- Low-confidence patterns deprecated
- New patterns created from manual fixes

Example Pattern

{
  "error_pattern": "container_crashed",
  "fix_template": "docker restart {container}",
  "success_count": 45,
  "failure_count": 3,
  "confidence": 0.94
}

Integration with Existing Systems

GitHub Agent Integration

Creates issues for bugs that cannot be auto-fixed
Includes full diagnostic information
Tracks fix attempts and outcomes
Links bug ID to GitHub issue number

Healing Agent Integration

Shares fix patterns and success data
Coordinates service-level healing
Avoids duplicate fix attempts

24/7 Autonomous Operation

The Bug Hunter runs as a systemd service for continuous monitoring:

[Unit]
Description=Bug Hunter - Automated Error Detection & Fixing
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=wil
WorkingDirectory=/home/wil/bug-hunter-agent
ExecStart=/home/wil/bug-hunter-agent/bug_hunter_daemon.py
Restart=always
RestartSec=60

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Schedule:

Every 5 minutes: Scan for new errors
Every 15 minutes: Attempt fixes for detected bugs
Every hour: Generate statistics and trends
Daily: Create GitHub issues for persistent bugs
Weekly: Retrain fix pattern confidence scores

Security & Safety

Safety Checks

Rate Limiting
- Max 3 fix attempts per bug
- Max 1 service restart per hour
- Max 5 container restarts per hour
Rollback Protection
- Backs up configs before changes
- Monitors for regression after fixes
- Auto-rollback if fix makes things worse
Severity Thresholds
- Critical errors: Auto-fix only known patterns
- High errors: Attempt fix with verification
- Medium errors: Auto-fix freely
- Low errors: Log only
Human Override
- Can mark bugs as "ignored"
- Can force manual review
- Can disable auto-fix per bug type

Permissions

Requires sudo for service restarts
Docker access for container operations
File write for logs and database
GitHub token for issue creation

Audit Trail

Every action logged to database
Full stack trace preserved
Fix attempts timestamped
GitHub issues linked

Performance Metrics

Detection Speed

Log scan: ~2 seconds per 1000 lines
Service check: ~100ms

Fix Success Rates (Expected)

Service restart: 95% success
Container restart: 90% success
Config changes: 70% success
Dependency fixes: 60% success
Overall auto-fix: 80% success
