System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It helps you diagnose elusive Kubernetes Kubelet outages and degradation modes by turning Netdata observations into a structured troubleshooting path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Failure-archetype triage: Targets common Kubelet breakdowns like PLEG stalls, resource pressure eviction cascades, API server disconnections, volume mount hangs, and silent new-pod outages.
  • Netdata-to-operator playbook workflow: Uses MCP queries against the same signal surface the Netdata operator playbook relies on, so you can drive a consistent decision tree.
  • Load-bearing signal verification: Provides concrete MCP query patterns and specific k8s_kubelet.* contexts to confirm whether remediation actually resolves the incident.

Quick Start

Use the skill to troubleshoot a Kubernetes node where new pods are stuck or the node is flapping by asking an AI to run the MCP verification queries for the affected host and follow the matching Kubelet failure branch.
