SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually auditing TiCDC health requires selecting different metric rules for new and old runtime architectures, leading to inconsistent verdicts, missed critical issues, and longer incident response times for TiDB Cloud clusters.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture-Aware Health Checks: Automatically classifies TiCDC as new or old architecture using metric probes, then applies the correct rule set for accurate verdicts.
  • Comprehensive Evidence Collection: Aggregates metrics from Clinic, O11Y, and Prometheus data sources to generate per-changefeed and cluster-level health findings with clickable evidence links.
  • Actionable Remediation Guidance: Provides prioritized risk lists and recommended next steps to resolve critical and warning issues quickly. Use Case: A site reliability engineer can use this skill during a TiCDC incident to instantly get a health verdict, identify the root cause via linked metric queries, and follow the recommended remediation steps without manually reviewing dozens of metrics.

Quick Start

Use this skill to run a full TiCDC health inspection for your target cluster, receiving architecture classification, health verdicts, and recommended remediation actions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit TiCDC health for a TiDB Cloud cluster?

Run a full TiCDC health inspection to automatically classify the runtime architecture, apply correct metric rules, and generate per-changefeed health verdicts with actionable remediation steps.

Why does my TiCDC changefeed health check show inconsistent results?

Inconsistent TiCDC health verdicts often happen when manually applying metric rules across new and old runtime architectures. Architecture-aware metric probes automatically detect and apply the correct rule set to eliminate this error.

Can I use PromQL and Clinic metrics for TiCDC incident response?

Yes, TiCDC health inspection aggregates evidence from Clinic, O11Y, and Prometheus data sources to generate prioritized risk lists with clickable evidence links for fast incident response.

Does TiCDC health inspection support routine cluster health checks?

Yes, TiCDC health inspection is designed for routine cluster health checks, incident response, and TiCDC change management workflows in TiDB Cloud, providing cluster-level health findings and remediation guidance.
