Spinnaker Integration

Overview

Spinnaker CD platform integration for investigating pipeline executions and application health during Root Cause Analysis. Use during RCA to check if deployments correlate with incidents.

Instructions

Tool: spinnaker_rca

Query Spinnaker CD platform for root cause analysis and interactive investigation.

Actions:

• recent_pipelines -- List recent pipeline executions; optional application filter and limit
• pipeline_detail -- Get full execution with stage-by-stage status. Requires execution_id
• application_health -- Cluster + server group health. Requires application
• list_pipeline_configs -- Available pipeline definitions. Requires application
• trigger_pipeline -- Trigger a pipeline (e.g. rollback). Requires application + pipeline_name, optional parameters
• execution_logs -- Detailed logs for failed stages. Requires execution_id

RCA Investigation Flow

1. spinnaker_rca(action='recent_pipelines', application='APP') -- Check for recent pipeline executions
2. spinnaker_rca(action='pipeline_detail', execution_id='ID') -- Get stage-by-stage status for a suspicious execution
3. spinnaker_rca(action='application_health', application='APP') -- Check cluster and server group health
4. spinnaker_rca(action='execution_logs', execution_id='ID') -- Get detailed logs for failed stages
5. spinnaker_rca(action='list_pipeline_configs', application='APP') -- List available pipelines (e.g. to find a rollback pipeline)
6. spinnaker_rca(action='trigger_pipeline', application='APP', pipeline_name='rollback') -- Trigger rollback if needed

Important Rules

• Check recent_pipelines first to correlate deployments with incident timing.
• Use pipeline_detail to get stage-by-stage breakdown before reading logs.
• Use application_health to assess current cluster state.
• Only use trigger_pipeline (e.g. for rollback) after confirming root cause with the user.
