Log Analyzer MCP Server

# Quick Start: FAISS-Enabled Log Analyzer

## Installation

1. Install dependencies:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

This installs:
- `faiss-cpu>=1.7.4` - Vector similarity search
- `numpy>=1.24.0` - Array operations
- Other required packages

## Basic Workflow

### 1. Fetch and Chunk Logs

```python
# Process log files into chunks
fetch_local_logs(
    input_folder="./logs",  # Your log directory
    chunk_size=4096,        # Characters per chunk
    overlap=1024            # Overlap between chunks
)
```

### 2. Vectorize with FAISS

```python
# Create embeddings and build FAISS index
store_chunks_as_vectors(
    use_cache=True,      # Use embedding cache (faster)
    clear_cache=False    # Keep existing cache
)
```

**Output:**
```
✅ Vectorization complete
Total: 5,234
Cached: 2,100
Newly embedded: 3,134
Time: 45.2s
Output: ./logs/vectors_20251211_143022.json
FAISS Index: IVFFlat with 5,234 vectors
```

### 3. Query Logs (FAISS-powered)

```python
# Semantic search with FAISS
query_SFlogs(query="authentication errors in production")
```

**Benefits:**
- ✅ 30-150x faster than traditional search
- ✅ Handles millions of log entries
- ✅ Automatic fallback if FAISS unavailable

## Configuration

### Environment Variables (.env)

```bash
# FAISS Index Type
FAISS_INDEX_TYPE=IVFFlat  # Options: Flat, IVFFlat, IVFPQ, HNSW

# IVF Parameters (for IVFFlat/IVFPQ)
FAISS_NLIST=100    # Number of clusters (more = better accuracy, slower build)
FAISS_NPROBE=10    # Search clusters (more = better accuracy, slower search)

# Search Parameters
FAISS_TOP_K=150    # Maximum results to retrieve
```

### Index Types Guide

| Type | Best For | Speed | Accuracy | Memory |
|------|----------|-------|----------|--------|
| **Flat** | < 1K vectors | Slow | Exact | High |
| **IVFFlat** | 1K-100K vectors | Fast | ~99% | Medium |
| **IVFPQ** | > 100K vectors | Very Fast | ~95% | Low |
| **HNSW** | Read-heavy | Very Fast | ~99% | Medium |

**Recommendation**: Use `IVFFlat` for most cases (default)

## Performance Comparison

### Traditional Search (No FAISS)
- 10,000 chunks: ~10-15 seconds per query
- 100,000 chunks: ~100+ seconds per query
- Memory: O(n) - all vectors in memory

### FAISS Search
- 10,000 chunks: ~0.1-0.5 seconds per query
- 100,000 chunks: ~0.5-2 seconds per query
- Memory: Compressed, efficient indexing

**Speed improvement: 30-150x faster!**

## Common Use Cases

### Small Dataset (< 1K logs)
```bash
FAISS_INDEX_TYPE=Flat
```
Use exact search - no approximation needed.

### Medium Dataset (1K-100K logs)
```bash
FAISS_INDEX_TYPE=IVFFlat
FAISS_NLIST=100
FAISS_NPROBE=10
```
Default settings work well.

### Large Dataset (> 100K logs)
```bash
FAISS_INDEX_TYPE=IVFPQ
FAISS_NLIST=1000
FAISS_NPROBE=20
```
Memory-efficient with good accuracy.

### Maximum Accuracy
```bash
FAISS_INDEX_TYPE=HNSW
```
Graph-based search, excellent for production.

### Maximum Speed
```bash
FAISS_INDEX_TYPE=IVFFlat
FAISS_NLIST=500
FAISS_NPROBE=5
```
Trade accuracy for speed.

## Troubleshooting

### "FAISS not installed"
```bash
pip install faiss-cpu>=1.7.4
```

### "FAISS index not found"
Run vectorization to create index:
```python
store_chunks_as_vectors()
```

### "Out of memory"
Use compressed index:
```bash
FAISS_INDEX_TYPE=IVFPQ
```

### Slow searches
Reduce search scope:
```bash
FAISS_NPROBE=5      # Search fewer clusters
FAISS_TOP_K=50      # Return fewer results
```

### Low accuracy
Increase search scope:
```bash
FAISS_NPROBE=20     # Search more clusters
FAISS_INDEX_TYPE=HNSW  # Use more accurate index
```

## Advanced Features

### Rebuild Index
```python
# Clear cache and rebuild everything
store_chunks_as_vectors(
    use_cache=False,
    clear_cache=True
)
```

### Check Index Stats
After vectorization, check logs for:
```
✅ FAISS index saved to ./logs/faiss_index_20251211_143022
Index type: IVFFlat
Total vectors: 5,234
Dimension: 1024
```

### Multiple Indexes
The system keeps timestamped backups:
```
logs/
  faiss_index_latest.faiss      # Always use this
  faiss_index_20251211.faiss    # Backup
  faiss_index_20251210.faiss    # Backup
```

## Files Created

After vectorization:

```
logs/
├── vectors_20251211_143022.json      # Vector JSON (backward compatible)
├── faiss_index_latest.faiss          # FAISS index binary
├── faiss_index_latest.metadata       # Index metadata (pickle)
├── faiss_index_20251211_143022.faiss # Timestamped backup
└── faiss_index_20251211_143022.metadata
```

## GPU Acceleration (Optional)

For 10-100x additional speedup:

1. Install GPU version:
```bash
pip uninstall faiss-cpu
pip install faiss-gpu
```

2. No code changes needed - automatically uses GPU

3. Requires NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support

## Migration from Old System

✅ **No migration needed!**

- FAISS is automatically used when available
- Falls back to traditional search if FAISS fails
- Existing vector JSON files work as before
- No breaking changes to API

## Best Practices

1. **Build index once** - Reuse for multiple queries
2. **Use caching** - Speed up vectorization with `use_cache=True`
3. **Monitor performance** - Check logs for timing info
4. **Tune parameters** - Adjust based on dataset size
5. **Keep backups** - Timestamped indexes preserved automatically

## Performance Tips

🚀 **For Best Performance:**
- Use IVFFlat for most cases
- Increase FAISS_NPROBE for accuracy
- Use IVFPQ for large datasets
- Enable GPU if available

📊 **For Large Scale:**
- Use IVFPQ index type
- Set FAISS_NLIST=1000
- Enable compression
- Consider distributed setup

🎯 **For High Accuracy:**
- Use HNSW index
- Set FAISS_NPROBE=20
- Accept slower indexing

## Next Steps

1. Install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
2. Configure settings in `.env`
3. Run vectorization: `store_chunks_as_vectors()`
4. Start querying: `query_SFlogs("your query")`

Enjoy 30-150x faster log analysis! 🚀
