Azure Diagnostics

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — MANDATORY COMPLIANCE

This document is the official source for debugging and troubleshooting Azure production issues. Follow these instructions to diagnose and resolve common Azure service problems systematically.

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
Troubleshoot App Service issues (high CPU, deployment failures, crashes, slow responses, TLS/custom domains)
Respond to prompts like "troubleshoot app service", "app service high CPU", or "app service deployment failure"
Troubleshoot Azure Function Apps (invocation failures, timeouts, binding errors)
Find the App Insights or Log Analytics workspace linked to a Function App
Troubleshoot AKS clusters, nodes, pods, ingress, or Kubernetes networking issues
Troubleshoot Azure VM connectivity issues (RDP/SSH failures, port 3389/22 timeouts, NSG or firewall blocking, credential resets)
Troubleshoot Azure Messaging SDK issues (Event Hubs, Service Bus connection failures, AMQP errors, message lock issues)

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
Route AKS incidents to the dedicated AKS troubleshooting document

Quick Diagnosis Flow

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