SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The gateway-debugging skill helps diagnose and fix issues with Hermes Gateway messaging platforms, specifically addressing silent message drops, allowlist mismatches, and connection problems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Debugging Silent Drops: Identifies silent message drops when the agent does not process messages after acknowledging them.
  • Allowlist Mismatch Detection: Diagnoses allowlist mismatches causing messages to be silently dropped due to ID mismatches.
  • Connection Issue Troubleshooting: Assists in identifying and resolving connection issues between the gateway and messaging platforms.

Quick Start

To begin diagnosing Gateway issues, run hermes gateway status to confirm the gateway is running, then use findstr /i "inbound response ready denied" %HERMES_HOME%\logs\gateway.log to check for silent drops.

Frequently Asked Questions about gateway-debugging

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

FAQPage Schema
Why are messages silently dropped after the Hermes Gateway acknowledges them?▼

Silent drops in Hermes Gateway often occur due to allowlist mismatches or ID misalignments. You can diagnose this by checking the gateway logs for denied inbound responses and verifying your allowlist management configurations.

How do I troubleshoot Hermes Gateway connection issues with messaging platforms?▼

To troubleshoot Hermes Gateway connection issues, run `hermes gateway status` to confirm the gateway is running, then analyze connection metadata and environment variables to identify and resolve platform link failures.

What is the best way to detect allowlist mismatches causing silent message drops?▼

The best way to detect allowlist mismatches is by analyzing message routing metadata and searching gateway logs for denied entries using `findstr /i "denied" %HERMES_HOME%\logs\gateway.log` to spot ID mismatches.

How do I check Hermes Gateway logs for silent message drops?▼

Check Hermes Gateway logs for silent drops by running `findstr /i "inbound response ready denied" %HERMES_HOME%\logs\gateway.log` to isolate unprocessed messages and identify routing failures.

Can I use environment variable manipulation to debug Hermes Gateway issues?▼

Yes, environment variable manipulation is a core method to diagnose Hermes Gateway issues. Adjusting environment configurations helps resolve connection problems and verify message routing metadata during debugging.

What should I do if my Hermes Gateway is running but messages are not processing?▼

If Hermes Gateway messages are not processing, inspect the gateway logs for silent drops, verify allowlist ID matches, and review message routing metadata to pinpoint the processing interruption.
