workflow: datasource diagnose
Read ../idmp-shared/SKILL.md first.
Recommended references
Missing context to resolve first
- Credential source.
- Verification rereads.
- The target connection, database, or table that the operator thinks is broken.
- Whether the complaint is reachability, metadata visibility, or model mismatch.
- Which element or template mapping should be compared back to source metadata.
Constrained live behaviors
- Do not copy
connections get into connectivity create.
datasource check list for the built-in TDengine listener.
- After any write-like probe or import, reread.
- Read the connection object before probing reachability.
- Additional properties and metadata are evidence; they do not replace a live connectivity probe.
- Metadata diagnosis stays ordered: connection -> probe -> db -> table -> column -> model mapping.
Execution flow
- Read
idmp-cli datasource connections list and idmp-cli datasource connections get --params before any probe.
- Use
idmp-cli datasource additional-properties list-get --params to capture datasource-side context.
- Reread
idmp-cli datasource check list and then run idmp-cli datasource connectivity create --ack-risk --data to separate summary health from live reachability.
- Use
idmp-cli datasource dbnames list --params, idmp-cli datasource tablenames list --params, and idmp-cli datasource columninfo create --ack-risk --params to lock the metadata boundary.
- Compare that metadata with
idmp-cli attr-template elements attributes --params, and use idmp-cli datasource csv create --ack-risk --params only when the diagnosis includes a write-like CSV probe.
- Reread
idmp-cli data records list if the diagnosis also touches import or export traces.
Exception paths
- If the connectivity probe fails, fall back to
datasource check list plus metadata reads before interpreting missing tables as schema bugs.
- If metadata exists but the model does not match, report the exact column or mapping mismatch.
- If record traces are absent, say whether the gap is ingestion history or datasource visibility. Capture whether the root cause is connectivity.
Validation scenarios
1. Listener health confirmation
Start with idmp-cli datasource connections list and idmp-cli datasource connections get --params. Only then run idmp-cli datasource check list.
2. Redacted-payload connectivity failure isolation
Use idmp-cli datasource connectivity create --ack-risk --data after a redaction-aware connection read. Reachability failures should not trigger secret hunting.
3. Metadata versus model mismatch
Pair idmp-cli datasource columninfo create --ack-risk --params with idmp-cli attr-template elements attributes --params. The result should name the exact mapping mismatch.
4. Table discovery failure
Walk idmp-cli datasource dbnames list --params and idmp-cli datasource tablenames list --params in order. The failing step should become the reported boundary.
5. CSV import trace during diagnosis
If the datasource complaint touches ingestion, reread idmp-cli data records list. Keep record-trace evidence separate from connectivity evidence.
