Why OpenSRE?

When something breaks in production, the evidence is scattered across logs, metrics, traces, runbooks, and Slack threads. OpenSRE is an open-source framework for AI SRE agents that resolve production incidents, built to run on your own infrastructure.

We do that because SWE-bench¹ gave coding agents scalable training data and clear feedback. Production incident response still lacks an equivalent.

Distributed failures are slower, noisier, and harder to simulate and evaluate than local code tasks, which is why AI SRE, and AI for production debugging more broadly, remains unsolved.

OpenSRE is building that missing layer:

an open reinforcement learning environment for agentic infrastructure incident response, with end-to-end tests and synthetic incident simulations for realistic production failures

We do that by:

• building easy-to-deploy, customizable AI SRE agents for production incident investigation and response
• running scored synthetic RCA suites that check root-cause accuracy, required evidence, and adversarial red herrings (tests/synthetic)
• running real-world end-to-end tests across cloud-backed scenarios including Kubernetes, EC2, CloudWatch, Lambda, ECS Fargate, and Flink (tests/e2e)
• keeping semantic test-catalog naming so e2e vs synthetic and local vs cloud boundaries stay obvious (tests/README.md)

Our mission is to build AI SRE agents on top of this, scale it to thousands of realistic infrastructure failure scenarios, and establish OpenSRE as the benchmark and training ground for AI SRE.

Install

The root installer URL auto-detects Unix shell vs PowerShell. Add --main when you want the latest rolling build from main instead of the latest stable release.

Latest stable release:

curl -fsSL https://install.opensre.com | bash

Latest build from main:

curl -fsSL https://install.opensre.com | bash -s -- --main

Homebrew:

brew tap tracer-cloud/tap
brew install tracer-cloud/tap/opensre

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://install.opensre.com | iex

---

Quick Start

Configure once, then pick how you want to run investigations:

opensre onboard

Interactive shell — with no subcommand, opensre starts a REPL (TTY required). Describe incidents in plain language, stream investigations, and use slash commands such as /help, /status, /clear, /reset, /trust, /effort, /exit. /effort sets reasoning depth for OpenAI and Codex providers (low, medium, high, xhigh, or max; other providers ignore it). Ctrl+C cancels an in-flight investigation without losing session state.

opensre

One-shot investigation — run the agent once against an alert file:

opensre investigate -i tests/e2e/kubernetes/fixtures/datadog_k8s_alert.json

Other useful commands:

opensre update
opensre uninstall   # remove opensre and all local data

---

Deployment

The official hosted path is LangGraph Platform: connect this repo, keep langgraph.json at the root, and set LLM_PROVIDER plus the matching API key (see .env.example). Railway remains supported as a self-hosted alternative; hosted Postgres and Redis (DATABASE_URI, REDIS_URI) are required for that layout.

Full deployment steps, Railway notes, and opensre remote ops → docs/DEVELOPMENT.md

How OpenSRE Works

When an alert fires, OpenSRE automatically:

1. Fetches the alert context and correlated logs, metrics, and traces
2. Reasons across your connected systems to identify anomalies
3. Generates a structured investigation report with probable root cause
4. Suggests next steps and, optionally, executes remediation actions
5. Posts a summary directly to Slack or PagerDuty — no context switching needed

Capabilities & integrations

🔍 Structured incident investigation	Correlated root-cause analysis across all your signals
📋 Runbook-aware reasoning	OpenSRE reads your runbooks and applies them automatically
🔮 Predictive failure detection	Catch emerging issues before they page you
🔗 Evidence-backed root cause	Every conclusion is linked to the data behind it

---

Security

OpenSRE is designed with production environments in mind: structured and auditable LLM prompts, local transcript handling by default, and no silent bulk export of raw logs. See SECURITY.md for responsible disclosure.

---

Telemetry

PostHog (product analytics) and Sentry (errors) are opt-out. Quick disable:

export OPENSRE_NO_TELEMETRY=1

Full matrix, DSN override, and local event logging → docs/DEVELOPMENT.md
