FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze AAP job failures and find the root cause?

To analyze AAP job failures, you need to retrieve job status, events, and host summaries to classify errors and reconstruct the failure timeline. This provides insights into the nature of failures and suggests next steps for resolution.

What is the best way to reconstruct an Ansible Automation Platform failure timeline?

Reconstructing an Ansible Automation Platform failure timeline involves extracting and analyzing failure events and host summaries from specific jobs. This process classifies the errors and helps diagnose the root cause of the job failure.

Do I need specific MCP servers to analyze Ansible Automation Platform job failures?

Yes, analyzing Ansible Automation Platform job failures requires access to both the job-management and inventory-management MCP servers. These dependencies provide the specific tools needed for retrieving job data and events.

Can I classify errors from a failed AAP job automatically?

Yes, you can classify errors from a failed AAP job by analyzing the job's events, host summaries, and job stdout. This classifies the failure type and suggests potential fixes to resolve the issue.

Why does my Ansible Automation Platform job failure require event analysis?

Ansible Automation Platform job failure analysis requires event evaluation because extracting failure events and host summaries allows you to classify the error and reconstruct the timeline to accurately diagnose the root cause.
