On-Prem Kubernetes (kubectl) Integration

Overview

On-prem Kubernetes cluster integration for running kubectl commands on connected clusters. Commands are either relayed through the Aurora agent installed on the cluster, or executed directly using uploaded kubeconfig credentials.

IMPORTANT: Always call get_connected_clusters first to discover available clusters and their cluster_id before running any kubectl commands.

Note: For cloud-managed clusters (GCP GKE, AWS EKS, Azure AKS), use terminal_exec with kubectl commands instead.

Instructions

Tool: get_connected_clusters

Discover available on-prem clusters. Call this before using on_prem_kubectl.

Usage: get_connected_clusters()

Returns cluster names, IDs, connection status, and metadata.

Tool: on_prem_kubectl

Run kubectl commands on connected on-prem Kubernetes clusters.

Usage: on_prem_kubectl(cluster_id='CLUSTER_ID', command='get pods -n default')

Specify the cluster using the cluster_id returned by get_connected_clusters.

RCA Investigation Flow

1. Discover available clusters: get_connected_clusters()
2. List pods and check status: on_prem_kubectl(cluster_id='ID', command='get pods -n NAMESPACE')
3. Check pod logs for errors: on_prem_kubectl(cluster_id='ID', command='logs PODNAME -n NAMESPACE --tail=100')
4. Describe failing pods for events: on_prem_kubectl(cluster_id='ID', command='describe pod PODNAME -n NAMESPACE')
5. Check recent events in the namespace: on_prem_kubectl(cluster_id='ID', command='get events -n NAMESPACE --sort-by=.lastTimestamp')
6. Check node status: on_prem_kubectl(cluster_id='ID', command='get nodes -o wide')
7. Check resource usage: on_prem_kubectl(cluster_id='ID', command='top pods -n NAMESPACE')

Important Rules

• Always specify cluster_id to target the correct cluster.
• For cloud-managed clusters (GCP GKE, AWS EKS, Azure AKS), use terminal_exec with kubectl commands.
• This tool is for on-prem/self-managed clusters connected via the Aurora kubectl agent or uploaded kubeconfigs.
