SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Catalyst Center troubleshooting workflows automate structured investigation of outages, client connectivity problems, interface issues, and site-wide outages. It guides responders through reproducible steps, escalation to pyATS, and generation of post-troubleshooting GAIT audit trails.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured decision trees for common Catalyst Center issues (device unreachable, client connectivity, interface down, site outages, wireless roaming).
  • Step-by-step data collection and cross-checks using CatC, APIs, and pyATS for live validation.
  • Automated troubleshooting report and GAIT audit entry with findings and resolution.
  • Integrates with MCP scripts and the OpenClaw framework for reproducible automation.

Quick Start

Describe the outage or connectivity issue and run the catc-troubleshoot workflow with MCP_CALL to begin the diagnostic sequence.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I troubleshoot Catalyst Center outages and client connectivity issues?▼

You can troubleshoot Catalyst Center outages and client connectivity issues by running structured diagnostic workflows that use Catalyst Center APIs and pyATS to investigate device reachability, interface problems, and wireless roaming.

Can I automate network diagnostics for site-wide outages using pyATS?▼

Yes, you can automate network diagnostics for site-wide outages by escalating investigations to pyATS, which performs live validation and cross-checks against Catalyst Center deployments to isolate the root cause.

Does Catalyst Center troubleshooting require specific dependencies or API access?▼

Yes, Catalyst Center troubleshooting requires python3, MCP_CALL, CATC_MCP_SCRIPT, and access to Catalyst Center APIs to orchestrate the guided diagnostic investigations and data collection.

What is the best way to generate an audit trail after resolving a Catalyst Center issue?▼

The best way to generate an audit trail is to use the troubleshooting workflow to automatically create a GAIT audit entry that records the findings, data collection steps, and final resolution.

How do structured decision trees help diagnose wireless roaming problems in Catalyst Center?▼

Structured decision trees guide responders through reproducible step-by-step data collection and cross-checks using Catalyst Center APIs to systematically isolate and resolve wireless roaming problems.

Why does my Catalyst Center device unreachable diagnostic fail to collect data?▼

Device unreachable diagnostics may fail if the environment lacks proper python3 configuration, CATC_MCP_SCRIPT execution rights, or valid Catalyst Center API access to orchestrate the required data collection.
