What problem does it solve?
This skill enables analysts to access Mozilla Splunk Cloud and retrieve Azure activity logs to understand VM provisioning and lifecycle events for Taskcluster workers, bridging gaps between Azure actions and worker-manager signals.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Query Splunk Cloud for index=azure_audit to inspect VM create/write/delete events and outcomes (Start, Success, Failure) for pools like RG-TC-GECKO-T-WIN11-64-25H2.
- Build VM end-to-end timelines and correlate with other sources such as tc-logview and papertrail to diagnose provisioning issues like OSProvisioningTimedOut.
- Use Splunk Web automation through browser-harness to script and repeat investigations for different pools or time windows.
Quick Start
Start by running a Splunk search against index=azure_audit for a specific RG and time window to begin investigating a VM provisioning event.
