Multi-Agent Supervisor System for Sysadmin Tasks

This directory contains a sophisticated multi-agent system with a supervisor pattern for comprehensive system administration and troubleshooting.

Overview

The multi-agent supervisor system uses multiple specialized agents coordinated by a supervisor to handle complex sysadmin tasks:

1. Supervisor Agent: Orchestrates and delegates tasks to specialized workers
2. Specialized Workers: Each agent is an expert in a specific domain
3. Parallel Processing: Multiple agents can work simultaneously
4. Intelligent Routing: Tasks are routed to the most appropriate specialist

Architecture

User Input → Supervisor → Specialized Agents → Aggregated Response
                ↓
    ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
    │  system_info │ nginx │ mariadb │ network │ ...  │
    └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Specialized Agents

Core System Agents

• system_info_worker: CPU, RAM, disk usage monitoring
• service_inventory_worker: Lists running services

Service-Specific Agents

• mariadb_analyzer: MariaDB configuration and log analysis
• nginx_analyzer: Nginx configuration validation and log analysis
• phpfpm_analyzer: PHP-FPM performance and error analysis

Network & Security Agents

• network_diag: Network connectivity and DNS diagnostics
• cert_checker: TLS certificate validation and expiry alerts

Analysis & Action Agents

• risk_scorer: Aggregates findings and assigns severity levels
• remediation_worker: Proposes safe fixes for detected issues
• harmonizer_worker: Applies security hardening best practices

Features

Advanced Capabilities

• Intelligent Delegation: Supervisor routes tasks to appropriate specialists
• Parallel Execution: Multiple agents can work simultaneously
• Severity Assessment: Risk scoring with Critical/High/Medium/Low levels
• Safe Remediation: Proposes fixes with confirmation requests
• Security Hardening: Automated best-practice application

Execution Modes

• Invoke Mode: Complete analysis with final result
• Stream Mode: Real-time step-by-step execution visibility

Files

• main-multi-agent.py: Complete multi-agent supervisor implementation
• agents/: Directory containing specialized agent implementations
• custom_tools/: Custom tools used by the agents
• supervisor.py: Supervisor agent coordination logic
• utils.py: Utility functions and configurations

Usage

cd multi-agent-supervisor
python main-multi-agent.py

The script includes both execution modes:

1. Invoke Mode (Complete Analysis)

result = supervisor.invoke(query)
print(result["messages"][-1]["content"])

2. Stream Mode (Step-by-Step)

for chunk in supervisor.stream(query):
    # Real-time agent execution monitoring
    print(f"🤖 ACTIVE AGENT: {current_agent}")
    print(f"🔧 TOOL CALLS: {len(tool_calls)} tool(s)")

Example Workflow

For the query: "Nginx returns 502 Bad Gateway on my server. What can I do?"

1. Supervisor analyzes the request
2. system_info_worker checks system resources
3. service_inventory_worker lists running services
4. nginx_analyzer validates Nginx configuration and checks logs
5. phpfpm_analyzer checks PHP-FPM status (common 502 cause)
6. risk_scorer assesses the severity
7. remediation_worker proposes specific fixes

Pros and Cons

✅ Pros

• Domain Expertise: Each agent specializes in specific areas
• Parallel Processing: Multiple agents work simultaneously
• Comprehensive Analysis: Systematic approach to complex problems
• Risk Assessment: Built-in severity scoring
• Intelligent Routing: Tasks go to the right specialist
• Scalable: Easy to add new specialized agents

❌ Cons

• Complexity: More sophisticated setup and debugging
• Resource Intensive: Higher computational overhead
• Coordination Overhead: Supervisor management complexity
• Potential Over-engineering: May be overkill for simple tasks

When to Use

Choose the multi-agent supervisor when:

• You need comprehensive system analysis
• Multiple services/components are involved
• You want parallel processing capabilities
• Risk assessment and severity scoring are important
• You're dealing with complex, multi-faceted problems
• You need specialized domain expertise

Customization

Adding New Agents

new_agent = create_react_agent(
    model="openai:gpt-4o-mini",
    tools=[shell_tool, custom_tools],
    prompt="Your specialized agent prompt...",
    name="new_specialist"
)

# Add to supervisor
supervisor = create_supervisor(
    agents=[...existing_agents, new_agent],
    model=model,
    prompt=updated_supervisor_prompt
)

Custom Tools

class CustomTool(BaseTool):
    name = "custom_tool"
    description = "Tool description"
    
    def _run(self, **kwargs):
        # Tool implementation
        return result

Requirements

pip install langchain-openai langgraph langgraph-supervisor langchain-community
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Performance Considerations

• Token Usage: Higher due to multiple agent interactions
• Execution Time: May be longer due to coordination overhead
• Memory: Higher memory usage with multiple concurrent agents
• Rate Limits: Monitor API rate limits with parallel requests
