SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides an authoritative, systematic workflow to triage and resolve Azure production issues by combining resource health checks, log analysis, and guidance from AppLens and Azure Monitor so operators can find root causes faster and with standardized steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic Diagnosis Flow: Step-by-step guidance to identify symptoms, check resource health, review logs, analyze metrics, and investigate recent changes.
  • Service-Specific Playbooks: Targeted troubleshooting for Container Apps (image pulls, health probes), Function Apps (invocations, bindings, App Insights links), and AKS (node readiness, kube-system failures, CrashLoopBackOff).
  • Tool Integrations and Queries: Prescribed use of AppLens for automated analysis, Azure Monitor and Log Analytics with KQL for ad hoc queries, and Azure CLI snippets for quick evidence gathering.
  • Operational Routing: Instructions to route AKS incidents to dedicated troubleshooting documentation and to document findings and remediation steps for compliance.

Quick Start

Use the azure-diagnostics skill to check resource health, gather App Insights logs, and run KQL queries for the target resource to identify root causes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose Azure production outages on AKS clusters?

To diagnose Azure production outages on AKS clusters, perform resource health checks, query Log Analytics with KQL, and integrate AppLens outputs to identify node readiness or CrashLoopBackOff issues. The skill routes AKS incidents to dedicated troubleshooting documentation for remediation.

What's the best way to troubleshoot Function Apps cold starts and invocation failures?

The best way to troubleshoot Function Apps cold starts and invocation failures is to review invocations, check bindings, and link Application Insights logs using a systematic diagnosis flow. This skill prescribes targeted steps to identify symptoms and analyze metrics for root causes.

Can I use KQL queries to find the root cause of Container Apps health probe failures?

Yes, you can use KQL queries in Log Analytics to find the root cause of Container Apps health probe failures. This skill provides prescribed queries and Azure CLI snippets to gather evidence on image pulls and probe failures for quick remediation.

Does this Azure diagnostics workflow support checking resource health and recent changes?

Yes, this Azure diagnostics workflow supports checking resource health and recent changes. It provides step-by-step guidance to identify symptoms, review logs and metrics, investigate recent changes, and integrate Azure Monitor outputs for standardized root cause analysis.

Why does my AKS pod scheduling fail and how do I investigate kube-system failures?

AKS pod scheduling failures and kube-system failures are investigated by checking node readiness and querying logs with KQL. This skill guides you through gathering evidence using Azure CLI and AppLens to document findings and route incidents for compliance.

What steps should I follow to resolve Azure DNS failures and platform resource issues?

To resolve Azure DNS failures and platform resource issues, follow a systematic diagnosis flow that checks resource health, reviews logs, and analyzes metrics. This skill integrates AppLens and Azure Monitor outputs to guide remediation steps with evidence.
