Who it is forAn SRE who wants an incident agent to know which runbook belongs to which service.
The problemAgents guess at infrastructure relationships from scattered docs.
The outcomeA searchable brain where every service links to its runbooks.
What you need first
- Python
- Docker optionally, for a shared brain
Steps
- Start with
open-index init my-brain - Add a type with
open-index add-doc-type customer --brain my-brain(use service for infra) - Write entity JSON files under my-brain/entities with related_to edges
- Run
open-index index --brain my-brainand open the UI
Prompt for your agent
Create an Open Index brain with doc_types service and runbook, add entities for <services>, index it, and list each service's runbooks. Confirm every service has at least one edge.
Caveat. With storage: file the Git files are the source of truth; the default index storage is DB-owned.
Use this in your AI agent
