System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly triage and remediate ZFS performance and health incidents by identifying the most likely failure archetype and verifying it with Netdata-observed signals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured ZFS triage for core failure archetypes: pool health degradation, capacity-fragmentation cliff, TXG sync hang, ARC memory starvation, silent data corruption, and ZIL/SLOG bottlenecks.
  • Netdata + MCP query-driven diagnostics: pulls the relevant MCP signals for pool health, per-vdev state and errors, I/O operations/latency/queue depth, and internal-state signals, then routes you through the operator playbook-style decision tree.
  • Signal verification before and after remediation: re-runs the same MCP queries to confirm the system returns to expected ranges rather than stopping at the first anomaly.

Quick Start

Use this skill when you see a ZFS pool or service behaving abnormally, and ask an AI coding agent to troubleshoot by querying Netdata via MCP and following the remediation path for the matching failure archetype.
