KCIDB

KCIDB is the common results database of the KernelCI ecosystem. CI systems that build and test the Linux kernel — including KernelCI’s own Maestro, Red Hat CKI, Google syzbot and others — send their results here in a unified format, so the community gets one place to look at them: the Web Dashboard.

How it works

The current KCIDB service is implemented by kcidb-ng and consists of a few simple pieces:

• REST API (kcidb-restd-rs) — receives your submissions over HTTPS, authenticated with JWT tokens.
• Ingester — validates each submission against the KCIDB schema and loads it into a PostgreSQL database.
• LogSpec worker — analyzes logs of failed builds and tests to automatically identify issues and create incidents.

Once your data is ingested, it shows up on the Web Dashboard and is available to tools like kci-dev.

Note: KCIDB used to be built on Google Cloud services (Pub/Sub and BigQuery) with a Grafana dashboard. That setup has been replaced by the kcidb-ng REST API described here.

Submitting results

Want to contribute results from your CI system? Great, we’d love to have them! See the submitter guide — it only takes a JSON file and a curl command.

Self-hosting

KCIDB-ng can also be deployed on your own infrastructure, together with the Web Dashboard if you like. See the self-hosted KernelCI documentation.
