Triggers

Activate this skill when user wants to:

Debug or troubleshoot production issues
Diagnose errors in Azure services
Analyze application logs or metrics
Fix image pull, cold start, or health probe issues
Investigate why Azure resources are failing
Find root cause of application errors

Rules

Start with systematic diagnosis flow
Use AppLens (MCP) for AI-powered diagnostics when available
Check resource health before deep-diving into logs
Select appropriate troubleshooting guide based on service type
Document findings and attempted remediation steps

Quick Diagnosis Flow

Identify symptoms - What's failing?
Check resource health - Is Azure healthy?
Review logs - What do logs show?

Quick Reference

Common Diagnostic Commands

# Check resource health
az resource show --ids RESOURCE_ID

# View activity log
az monitor activity-log list -g RG --max-events 20

# Container Apps logs
az containerapp logs show --name APP -g RG --follow

AppLens (MCP Tools)

For AI-powered diagnostics, use:

mcp_azure_mcp_applens
  intent: "diagnose issues with <resource-name>"
  command: "diagnose"
  parameters:
    resourceId: "<resource-id>"

Provides:
- Automated issue detection
- Root cause analysis
- Remediation recommendations

Azure Monitor (MCP Tools)

For querying logs and metrics:

mcp_azure_mcp_monitor
  intent: "query logs for <resource-name>"
  command: "logs_query"
  parameters:
    workspaceId: "<workspace-id>"
    query: "<KQL-query>"

See kql-queries.md for common diagnostic queries.

Check Azure Resource Health

Using MCP

mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth
  intent: "check health status of <resource-name>"
  command: "get"
  parameters:
    resourceId: "<resource-id>"

Using CLI

# Check specific resource health
az resource show --ids RESOURCE_ID

# Check recent activity
