ARIES: AI-Powered Autonomous Operations for IT Infrastructure

Introduction

ARIES (AI-powered Reliable Infrastructure & Enterprise Systems) is a groundbreaking project that brings the power of artificial intelligence to the forefront of IT operations and maintenance. Designed to combat the endless alerts, late-night fixes, and repetitive tasks that plague traditional ops, ARIES acts as a guardian for your infrastructure, transforming chaotic environments into precisely managed systems.

At its core, ARIES features an intelligent agent driven by LLMs, enhanced with Knowledge Graphs (KG) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for accurate reasoning and decision-making. It offers 24/7 vigilant monitoring, proactive self-healing capabilities that diagnose and resolve issues before they escalate, and extensive cross-platform reach, supporting Windows Server, Linux, macOS, and Cisco IOS. Furthermore, ARIES seamlessly integrates with IoT devices via MQTT, providing full-network automatic management and multi-modal workflow support.

Installation

Getting started with ARIES is straightforward, with a recommended Docker-based installation for ease of deployment.

Using Docker (Recommended):

docker-compose up -d

Manual Installation:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Chieko-Seren/ARIES
   cd ARIES
   

2. Install backend dependencies:

   cd backend
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Install frontend dependencies:

   cd ../frontend
   npm install
   

Configuration: After installation, create configuration files in the config/ directory for system basic settings, MQTT Broker connection, and IoT device management. Refer to the project's documentation for detailed configuration instructions.

Examples

ARIES empowers IT teams with a suite of intelligent features:

• Intelligent Agent: The brain of ARIES, equipped with KG and RAG, performs precise reasoning and decision-making. It can connect to external sources for the latest information and is fully LLM-driven, allowing you to expand its intelligence by simply injecting your LLM API Key.
• 24/7 Vigilant Monitoring: ARIES scans configured servers every minute, ensuring they adhere to specified configurations. Any deviation is immediately captured.
• Proactive Self-Healing: Upon detecting anomalies, ARIES initiates a diagnostic process and attempts to execute AI-inferred repair commands on the server. It makes multiple attempts (default 5) until the issue is resolved or deemed unresolvable automatically.
• Cross-Platform Reach: Manage diverse environments through Shell, RJ-45 / Out-of-Band Management, SSH, and Telnet, providing control even when servers are down.
• IoT Device Management: Seamlessly connect and manage IoT devices using MQTT, offering automatic discovery, real-time monitoring, intelligent control, and data persistence for historical analysis.
• Webhook Notifications: When automatic repair attempts reach their limit, ARIES sends detailed alerts via Webhook, ensuring you are informed for critical interventions.
• Powerful RESTful API: All functionalities are exposed through a high-performance FastAPI-based RESTful API with strict authentication, allowing integration with other systems.

Why Use ARIES?

ARIES offers a paradigm shift in IT operations, moving from reactive problem-solving to proactive, autonomous management. By leveraging cutting-edge AI, it significantly reduces manual workload, minimizes downtime through intelligent self-healing, and provides comprehensive oversight across diverse IT and IoT infrastructures. Its ability to understand, diagnose, and act on complex issues, combined with its flexible integration capabilities, makes it an invaluable tool for any organization seeking to enhance operational efficiency, reliability, and scalability. ARIES is not just a system, it's an intelligent partner that liberates your team from operational chaos.
