Kubernetes Debug Skill

Expert guidance for debugging Kubernetes workloads, analyzing pod logs, and troubleshooting common failure patterns.

When to Use This Skill

• Pod is in CrashLoopBackOff or other error states
• Need to debug application behavior in containers
• Analyzing logs to understand failures
• Investigating pod networking issues
• Checking resource constraints or limits

Skills & Capabilities

• Retrieve pod status and events from Kubernetes
• Analyze error patterns in logs
• Inspect resource usage and limits
• Suggest fixes based on common issues
• Identify pending pod issues

Steps

1. Get pod status — kubectl get pod {pod-name} -o wide
2. Check events — kubectl describe pod {pod-name}
3. Retrieve logs — kubectl logs {pod-name} --tail=100
4. Analyze patterns — Look for OOMKilled, CrashLoop, ImagePullBackOff
5. Check resources — kubectl top pod {pod-name}
6. Diagnose root cause — Match symptoms to known issues
