- Orchestrates Volcengine Cloud Detect (云拨测) false-alarm reduction for failing periodic-task dial points. Use for scheduled task scans, retrying failed nodes, control-testing node health, distinguishing real target outages from broken dial points, and suggesting same-type LastMile/IDC/Private replacement nodes. Runs the byted-util-volcengine-cloud-detect volc_detect.py CLI only; requires that skill and ships no API/script implementation.
# Volcengine Detect Retry
Reduce Volcengine Cloud Detect (云拨测) operations toil. This skill confirms whether a
failing dial point is a real outage or just noise, and — when a dial point itself is broken
— suggests a similar replacement node.
**This skill ships no script of its own.** It is pure orchestration: every action is one of
the `byted-util-volcengine-cloud-detect` skill's `volc_detect.py` CLI commands
(`get-task`, `get-result`, `list-nodes`, `fuzzy-search-nodes`, `create-task`, `delete-task`).
Follow the workflow below by invoking those commands in sequence and applying the decision
logic to their JSON output.
**Requires**: `byted-util-volcengine-cloud-detect` skill. Do not reimplement any Cloud Detect API call here.
## Locate The Base CLI
Resolve `volc_detect.py` dynamically (never hard-code an absolute path):
```bash
VOLC_DETECT="${VOLC_DETECT:-$(find "${SKILLS_DIR:-$HOME/Code/Skill}" -type f \
-path '*/byted-util-volcengine-cloud-detect/scripts/volc_detect.py' 2>/dev/null | head -n 1)}"
test -n "$VOLC_DETECT" || { echo "volc_detect.py not found"; exit 1; }
alias vd="python3 \"$VOLC_DETECT\""
```
All commands below are written as `python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" <command>`.
## Prerequisites
Volcengine credentials must be present (the base skill enforces this). If either is missing,
follow the base skill's Prerequisites section to collect and persist them:
```bash
test -n "$VOLC_ACCESSKEY" && test -n "$VOLC_SECRETKEY"
```
## Decision Logic
For each dial point whose **latest** sample in the scan window failed:
1. **Retry 5 times** (configurable) against the **same** monitored target via a temporary
`create-task`.
- **All retries succeed** → transient glitch → **ignore** (`transient_issue`).
- **Any retry fails** → go to control validation.
2. **Control validation**: a temporary `create-task` dials a trusted domain from the **same** node.
- China nodes → `https://cn.bing.com`
- Overseas nodes → `https://www.google.com`
- **Control succeeds** → `real_failure` (target is genuinely down for that node) → **ALERT**.
- **Control fails** → `node_issue` (the dial point itself is broken) → **find similar
replacement nodes and suggest replacing it**.
3. Temporary retry/control tasks are **always** deleted (`delete-task`).
By default only **LastMile** dial points (`client_info.type == "1"`, node name suffix `(LM)`)
are auto-validated, because they are the noisy ones. Include IDC/Private only on request.
Replacement-node priority (`node_issue` only):
1. **Mandatory**: same node type (LastMile / IDC / Private).
2. **Preferred**: same province, then same country.
## Success Rule
A result sample is **success** when `basic_detail.usability_info.status` is `"success"`
(or boolean `true`); it is a **failure** when status is `"fail"` (the `usability_info.reason`
array, e.g. `["主机未找到(601)"]`, and `basic_detail.error_msg` explain why). If no
`usability_info` is present, fall back to `http_detail.http_code` in `200–499` = reachable.
## Workflow: Scan One Periodic Task
### Step 1 — Fetch the task and its recent samples
```bash
# Task must be Running (status == 2) to be actively monitoring.
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" get-task --task-id <TASK_ID>
# Pull the last hour of results (API limits the range to <= 1 hour, PageSize <= 500).
NOW=$(date +%s); START=$((NOW-3600))
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" get-result --task-id <TASK_ID> \
--start-time $START --end-time $NOW --page-size 500
```
### Step 2 — Identify failing nodes (latest sample per node)
From the `Data` array, group samples by node and keep the **latest** (max `basic_detail.timestamp`)
per node. A node is identified by its `basic_detail.client_info` (`region` / `city` / `isp` / `type`).
Map that back to a node `id` + full name with `list-nodes` (match `region`, `city`, `isp`
substrings; if `client_info.type` is present, also match node type to disambiguate LM vs IDC).
```bash
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" list-nodes
```
Keep only nodes whose latest sample is a **failure**. By default, drop non-LastMile nodes
(`client_info.type != "1"`) unless the user asked to include IDC/Private. If a `client_info`
maps to multiple nodes (ambiguous) or none, mark it `inconclusive` and do not auto-page.
### Step 3 — Retry each failing node 5× against the same target
`get-task` gives the monitored `address`. Create a temporary task on the failing node only:
```bash
ADDRESS="<the task's address>"; LINE_ID=<failing node id>
NOW=$(date +%s); FINISH=$((NOW + 5*60 + 120)) # 5 rounds @ 60s + margin
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" create-task \
--address "$ADDRESS" --name "retry_${LINE_ID}_${NOW}" \
--type 1 --node-count 1 --interval-seconds 60 \
--finish-time $FINISH --line-ids $LINE_ID --http-method 1
```
Wait for ~5 samples (poll `get-task` until `status == 6`, or sleep `rounds × interval`),
fetch the results, then **delete** the temporary task:
```bash
END=$(date +%s); START=$((END-3600))
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" get-result --task-id <RETRY_TASK_ID> \
--start-time $START --end-time $END --page-size 500
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" delete-task --task-id <RETRY_TASK_ID>
```
- **All retry samples succeed** → `transient_issue` → ignore. Done for this node.
- **Any retry fails** → continue to Step 4.
### Step 4 — Control validation from the same node
Pick the control domain by node locality (node name starting with `中国` → CN):
```bash
# China node: CONTROL="https://cn.bing.com"
# Overseas node: CONTROL="https://www.google.com"
NOW=$(date +%s); FINISH=$((NOW + 90))
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" create-task \
--address "$CONTROL" --name "control_${LINE_ID}_${NOW}" \
--type 1 --node-count 1 --interval-seconds 60 \
--finish-time $FINISH --line-ids $LINE_ID --http-method 1
```
Wait for a sample, fetch results, then **delete** the control task:
```bash
END=$(date +%s); START=$((END-3600))
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" get-result --task-id <CONTROL_TASK_ID> \
--start-time $START --end-time $END --page-size 50
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" delete-task --task-id <CONTROL_TASK_ID>
```
- **Control succeeds** → `real_failure`: the monitored target is genuinely down for this node
while the node itself is healthy → **ALERT**.
- **Control fails** → `node_issue`: the dial point itself is broken → go to Step 5.
- **No control samples** → `inconclusive` (do not auto-page).
### Step 5 — Suggest replacement nodes (`node_issue` only)
Find same-type, preferably same-province (then same-country) candidates, excluding the broken
node. `fuzzy-search-nodes` filters by name substrings (`国家-省份-城市-运营商(类型)`):
```bash
# e.g. broken node = 中国-河南-三门峡市-中国电信(LM)
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" fuzzy-search-nodes "河南 电信 LM" # same province first
python3 "$VOLC_DETECT" fuzzy-search-nodes "中国 电信 LM" # fall back to same country
```
Present the top candidates and recommend swapping the node in the source periodic task's
`LineIdList`.
## Classification Reference
| Latest sample | Retry result | Control result | Classification | Action |
|---------------|--------------|----------------|----------------|--------|
| fail | all succeed | — | `transient_issue` | ignore |
| fail | any fail | success | `real_failure` | **alert** |
| fail | any fail | fail | `node_issue` | **suggest replacement node** |
| fail | no samples | — | `inconclusive` | no auto-page |
| fail | any fail | no samples | `inconclusive` | no auto-page |
| fail (non-LastMile) | — | — | `skipped_non_lastmile` | skipped unless user includes all types |
## Reporting
Summarize the scan as a single object the operator can act on:
```json
{
"alert": true,
"message": "1 confirmed real failure(s), 1 broken node(s), 2 transient (ignored), 0 inconclusive",
"real_failures": [
{
"task_id": "23275831",
"line_id": 823,
"address": "https://example.com",
"node_name": "中国-河南-三门峡市-中国电信(LM)",
"classification": "real_failure",
"control_address": "https://cn.bing.com",
"details": "Retries failed but the control target succeeded from the same node."
}
],
"node_issues": [
{
"line_id": 229,
"node_name": "中国-河北-石家庄市-中国电信(LM)",
"classification": "node_issue",
"control_address": "https://cn.bing.com",
"suggested_replacements": [
{"line_id": 380, "node_name": "中国-河南-南阳市-中国电信(LM)", "match": ["same_type", "same_province", "same_country"]}
],
"details": "Both the monitored target and the control target failed from this node."
}
],
"suppressed": [{"line_id": 230, "classification": "transient_issue"}],
"inconclusive": []
}
```
### How To Act On The Output
- `real_failures` → page / alert. The monitored site is genuinely down for those nodes.
- `node_issues` → the dial point is broken. Present `suggested_replacements` and recommend
swapping the node in the periodic task's `LineIdList`.
- `suppressed` (transient) → no action; log for auditability.
- `inconclusive` → insufficient evidence; surface in the report but **do not** auto-page.
`alert` is `true` only when there is at least one `real_failure`.
### Notification
If the user provides a webhook or notify script, send only the `real_failures` set as the
paging payload, and include `node_issues` (with replacement suggestions) so operators can act.
Include suppressed/inconclusive counts in the text for auditability.
## Scheduling (hourly)
Run the scan workflow on whatever scheduler you use (cron / CI). The 1-hour scan window
matches an hourly cadence; shrink the window if you run more frequently.
