Confluence

Confluence Integration

Overview

Confluence integration for searching runbooks, past incidents, and operational procedures during Root Cause Analysis. Confluence is a mandatory first step in any RCA investigation -- search here BEFORE infrastructure or CI/CD tools.

A runbook may give you the exact diagnostic steps. A past postmortem may reveal this is a recurring issue with a known fix.

Instructions

MANDATORY FIRST STEP -- RUNBOOKS & PAST INCIDENTS

You MUST call Confluence tools BEFORE any infrastructure or CI/CD investigation. Search Confluence for runbooks and prior postmortems BEFORE deep-diving into infrastructure.

Tools

• confluence_search_similar(keywords=['error keywords'], service_name='SERVICE') -- Search Confluence for pages related to an incident (postmortems, RCA docs). Pass keywords, optional service_name and error_message. Returns matching pages with excerpts.
• confluence_search_runbooks(service_name='SERVICE') -- Search Confluence for runbooks / playbooks / SOPs for a given service. Pass service_name and optional operation (e.g. 'restart', 'failover').
• confluence_fetch_page(page_id='12345') -- Fetch a Confluence page by ID and return its content as markdown. Use after search to read full page details.
• confluence_runbook_parse(page_url='https://...') -- Fetch and parse a Confluence runbook into markdown and steps for LLM use.

RCA Investigation Flow

Step 1 -- Search for past incidents with similar symptoms

confluence_search_similar(keywords=['error keywords'], service_name='SERVICE') -- Find postmortems / past incidents

Step 2 -- Search for runbooks and SOPs

confluence_search_runbooks(service_name='SERVICE') -- Find runbooks / SOPs / playbooks

Step 3 -- Read full page content for promising results

confluence_fetch_page(page_id='ID') -- Read full page content as markdown

Step 4 -- Parse runbooks into actionable steps

confluence_runbook_parse(page_url='URL') -- Parse a runbook into structured steps

Workflow

Search first, then fetch promising pages for detailed procedures. Cross-reference Confluence findings with live infrastructure state.

Important Rules

• Always search Confluence BEFORE deep-diving into infrastructure investigation.
• If a runbook exists for the issue, FOLLOW the documented steps.
• Cross-reference findings with live infrastructure state.
• Past postmortems may reveal this is a recurring issue with a known fix.

RCA Investigation (Mandatory First Step)

Search Confluence BEFORE deep-diving into infrastructure:

• confluence_search_similar(keywords=['error keywords'], service_name='{service_name}') -- Past incidents
• confluence_search_runbooks(service_name='{service_name}') -- Runbooks/SOPs
• confluence_fetch_page(page_id='ID') -- Full page content

A runbook may give exact diagnostic steps. A past postmortem may reveal a recurring issue.
