System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Troubleshoots recurring CockroachDB failure modes (LSM compaction death spiral, raft liveness failures, clock skew crises, hot ranges, and intent accumulation) by turning Netdata health signals into a structured diagnostic path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Symptom-to-signal triage: Routes an AI through dominant failure archetypes using Netdata operator playbook logic and CockroachDB-specific MCP queries.
  • Evidence-first verification: Recommends remediation steps and validates the fix by re-running the same MCP queries and checking for a clean anomaly result.
  • Focused for on-call and incidents: Designed for cases where latency, saturation, errors, or unexpected restarts indicate CockroachDB behavior outside its expected envelope.

Real-world use case: You receive a Netdata alert for a CockroachDB node that appears “stuck,” and you need to quickly determine whether it matches a compaction spiral, raft liveness loss, clock drift, or hot range bottleneck.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to troubleshoot your CockroachDB incident by querying the relevant Netdata CockroachDB MCP health signals and mapping the results to the correct failure archetype.
