What problem does it solve?

It helps diagnose why an Envoy proxy is misbehaving by mapping real-time Netdata observations to specific Envoy failure archetypes and guiding remediation-oriented troubleshooting.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Envoy failure archetype triage: Targets connection pool exhaustion cascades, memory pressure spirals, xDS control plane disconnects, retry amplification, and stats cardinality explosions.
• Netdata-backed evidence via MCP: Queries Envoy-related Netdata chart contexts through an MCP surface to validate the current incident state.
• Operator playbook diagnostic tree: Applies the same domain decomposition (Availability, Throughput, Latency, Errors, Saturation, Internal State, Configuration State) to structure analysis and next actions.
• Use case: When on-call engineers receive alerts or users report elevated errors/latency/saturation, this skill helps select the right signal domain, pull the relevant time windows, and recommend remediation steps aligned to the playbook.
