What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines diagnosing failures for services hosted on Render.com by guiding engineers through targeted log collection and analysis to surface build errors, runtime crashes, health check failures, and database connection issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Log access & filtering: Step-by-step guidance for installing Render CLI, authenticating, listing services, tailing live logs, and filtering build or runtime entries.
• Build and runtime diagnostics: Instructions to identify compilation errors, Docker build failures, memory OOMs, port binding issues, and uncaught exceptions in runtime logs.
• Operational checks & remediation steps: Checks for health endpoints, environment variables, deploy timelines, service metrics, and using Render shell for on-instance troubleshooting. Use case: when a recent deploy causes 502/503 errors, compare build vs deploy logs, verify health checks and DATABASE_URL, and inspect resource metrics to isolate the root cause.

Quick Start

Tail your Render service logs and scan for ERROR or stack traces to pinpoint the failing build or runtime step.
