| 2026 | NOVAID: Natural-language Observability Visualization Assistant for ITOps Dashboard Widget GenerationabstractManual creation of IT monitoring dashboard widgets is slow, error-prone, and a barrier for both novice and expert users. We present NOVAID, an interactive chatbot that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate IT monitoring widgets directly from natural language queries. Unlike general natural language–to-visualization tools, NOVAID addresses IT operations–specific challenges: specialized widget types like SLO charts, dynamic API-driven data retrieval, and complex contextual filters. The system combines a domain-aware semantic parser, fuzzy entity matching, and schema completion to produce standardized widget JSON specifications. An interactive clarification loop ensures accuracy in underspecified queries. On a curated dataset of 271 realistic queries, NOVAID achieves promising accuracy (up to 94.10% in metric extraction) across multiple LLMs. A user study with IT engineers yielded a System Usability Scale score of 74.2 for NOVAID, indicating good usability. By bridging natural language intent with operational dashboards, NOVAID demonstrates clear potential and a path for deployment in enterprise ITOps monitoring platforms.

| 2025 | ScriptSmith: A Unified LLM Framework for Enhancing IT Operations via Automated Bash Script Generation, Assessment, and RefinementabstractIn the rapidly evolving landscape of site reliability engineering (SRE), the demand for efficient and effective solutions to manage and resolve issues in site and cloud applications is paramount. This paper presents an innovative approach to action automation using large language models (LLMs) for script generation, assessment, and refinement. By leveraging the capabilities of LLMs, we aim to significantly reduce the human effort involved in writing and debugging scripts, thereby enhancing the productivity of SRE teams. Our experiments focus on Bash scripts, a commonly used tool in SRE, and involve the CodeSift dataset of 100 tasks and the InterCode dataset of 153 tasks. The results show that LLMs can automatically assess and refine scripts efficiently, reducing the need for script validation in an execution environment. Results demonstrate that the framework shows an overall improvement of 7-10% in script generation.

| 2024 | CodeSift: An LLM-Based Reference-Less Framework for Automatic Code ValidationabstractThe advent of large language models (LLMs) has greatly facilitated code generation, but ensuring the functional correctness of generated code remains a challenge. Traditional validation methods are often time-consuming, error-prone, and impractical for large volumes of code. We introduce CodeSift, a novel framework that leverages LLMs as the first-line filter of code validation without the need for execution, reference code, or human feedback, thereby reducing the validation effort. We assess the effectiveness of our method across three diverse datasets encompassing two programming languages. Our results indicate that CodeSift outperforms state-of-the-art code evaluation methods. Internal testing conducted with subject matter experts reveals that the output generated by CodeSift is in line with human preference, reinforcing its effectiveness as a dependable automated code validation tool.

| 2024 | Efficient Incident Summarization in ITOps: Leveraging Entity-Based GroupingabstractAn incident which is created due to a fault in an Application Monitoring System, gather large amount of diverse information, which helps in effective remediation of the fault. A Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) should resolve the outage quickly, for which all the fault related information should be presented to her in a crisp and summarized form. In this paper, we address this problem by summarizing an incident and presenting important details to the SRE. We group the list of related events, which is a part of the incident payload, and use Large Language Models (LLMs) to summarize each of these groups separately. The grouping is driven by the entities and symptoms occurring due to the fault, and used to design efficient prompts for LLM. Our approach addresses the known issue of LLM hallucination, and remove any false symptoms or facts from the generated summary. Our proposed method creates a resource-entity driven summarization, giving a bird's eye view of the entire outage in a cost and time efficient way, thus aiding an SRE to understand and resolve the incident at a faster pace.
