kernelIQ — Investigate Linux System Issues in Plain English

Hey everyone 👋

I just launched kernelIQ — an open-source Linux diagnostic assistant built to help investigate system issues in a more natural way.

Instead of only showing raw metrics, kernelIQ is designed to help answer questions like:

• Why is my system slow?

• What happened to CPU a few minutes ago?

• Which process is writing most to disk?

It combines local telemetry collection with an investigation-style CLI, so the goal is not just to monitor a system, but to help explain what is happening and why.

It is still an early release, and I’d really love feedback from anyone who works with Linux, DevOps, homelabs, performance debugging, or local AI tools.

Would especially love thoughts on:

• whether the idea feels useful,

• what kind of questions it should answer,

• and what would make you actually try it.

Here’s the repo:

Thanks a lot for checking it out.
