SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you inspect Aspire applications without guessing where to look, so you can quickly find logs, traces, spans, resource state, and telemetry exports in the right place.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local Aspire observability: Query resource state, console logs, OpenTelemetry logs, traces, spans, and telemetry exports from a running AppHost.
  • Deployed environment routing: Choose the correct diagnostic path for AKS workloads, Azure resource health, App Service, Container Apps, or Docker and Compose deployments.
  • Dashboard and browser telemetry: Use the Aspire dashboard for standalone or remote telemetry access, including browser logs, network activity, and screenshots when enabled.
  • Use case: When a service is unhealthy, first check resource state, then structured logs, then traces, and finally export a diagnostics bundle for deeper analysis.

Quick Start

Use the aspire-monitoring skill to inspect the current Aspire resource state and telemetry for the running application before deciding whether to troubleshoot locally or through the deployed platform tools.

FAQPage Schema
How do I view logs and traces for a local Aspire AppHost?

You can inspect local Aspire observability by querying the running AppHost to retrieve resource state, console logs, OpenTelemetry logs, traces, spans, and telemetry exports directly from your local environment.

What's the best way to troubleshoot unhealthy Aspire services in AKS?

The best approach routes AKS workload troubleshooting through kubectl to retrieve logs, traces, spans, and resource state, allowing you to check resource health first before reviewing structured logs and exporting diagnostics bundles.

Can I use the Aspire dashboard for remote telemetry access?

Yes, you can use the Aspire dashboard for standalone or remote telemetry access by leveraging dashboard-url support to query browser logs, network activity, and structured traces across your deployed environments.

Does Aspire monitoring work with Docker and Compose deployments?

Yes, Aspire monitoring applies to Docker and Compose deployments by using container log commands to retrieve logs, traces, spans, and resource state, routing diagnostics to the correct observability toolchain for your environment.

When should I export a diagnostics bundle for Aspire applications?

You should export a diagnostics bundle for deeper analysis when a service remains unhealthy after checking resource state, structured logs, and traces, providing comprehensive telemetry data for advanced troubleshooting.

How do I check Azure resource health for deployed Aspire apps?

You check Azure resource health for deployed Aspire apps by applying Azure diagnostics tools to retrieve logs, traces, endpoints, and resource state, routing diagnostics through the correct observability toolchain for App Service or Container Apps.
