Name Description

az_monitoring Unified tool for Azure monitoring and diagnostics operations for AKS clusters. Supported Operations: 1. Metrics - Query Azure Monitor metrics for AKS clusters and nodes - list: Get metric values for specific metrics - list-definitions: Get available metrics for a resource - list-namespaces: Get metric namespaces for a resource Use for: CPU usage, memory consumption, network traffic, pod counts, node health Required parameters: resource (Azure resource ID) Additional for 'list': metrics (metric names) Optional: aggregation, start-time, end-time, interval, filter 2. Resource Health - Get Azure Resource Health events for AKS clusters Use for: Cluster availability issues, platform problems, service health events Required parameters: subscription_id, resource_group, cluster_name, start_time Optional: end_time, status (Available, Unavailable, Degraded, Unknown) 3. Application Insights - Execute KQL queries against Application Insights telemetry Use for: Application performance monitoring, custom telemetry analysis, trace correlation Required parameters: subscription_id, resource_group, app_insights_name, query Optional: start_time + end_time OR timespan (not both) 4. Diagnostics - Check AKS cluster diagnostic settings configuration Use for: Verify logging is enabled, check log retention, validate diagnostic configuration Required parameters: subscription_id, resource_group, cluster_name 5. Control Plane Logs - Query AKS control plane logs Supported log categories: - kube-apiserver - kube-audit - kube-audit-admin - kube-controller-manager - kube-scheduler - cluster-autoscaler - cloud-controller-manager - guard (for authentication/authorization issues) - csi-azuredisk-controller - csi-azurefile-controller - csi-snapshot-controller - fleet-member-agent - fleet-member-net-controller-manager - fleet-mcs-controller-manager PLEASE NOTE: you need to check if the category is enabled in your cluster's diagnostic settings by using the diagnostics tool. Use This Tool When You Need To: - Monitor cluster or other azure resource performance and usage (use metrics) - Check cluster availability and platform health (use resource_health) - Analyze application telemetry and performance (use app_insights) - Verify diagnostic logging configuration (use diagnostics) - Debug Kubernetes API server issues (use control_plane_logs with kube-apiserver) - Investigate authentication/authorization problems (use control_plane_logs with kube-audit, guard) - Troubleshoot pod scheduling issues (use control_plane_logs with kube-scheduler) - Check storage-related problems (use control_plane_logs with csi-azuredisk-controller, csi-azurefile-controller) - Analyze cluster scaling behavior (use control_plane_logs with cluster-autoscaler) - Review security audit events (use control_plane_logs with kube-audit, kube-audit-admin) Examples: metrics: - Get CPU usage: operation="metrics", query_type="list", parameters="{\"resource\":\"/subscriptions/sub-id/resourceGroups/rg/providers/Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters/cluster\", \"metrics\":\"node_cpu_usage_percentage\", \"aggregation\":\"Average\", \"start-time\":\"<start-time>\", \"end-time\":\"<end-time>\"}" - List available metrics: operation="metrics", query_type="list-definitions", parameters="{\"resource\":\"/subscriptions/sub-id/resourceGroups/rg/providers/Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters/cluster\"}" resource_health: - Check recent cluster health: operation="resource_health", subscription_id="<subscription-id>", resource_group="<resource-group>", cluster_name="<cluster-name>", parameters="{\"start_time\":\"<start-time>\"}" app_insights: - Query request telemetry: operation="app_insights", subscription_id="<subscription-id>", resource_group="<resource-group>", parameters="{\"app_insights_name\":\"myapp-insights\", \"query\":\"requests | where timestamp > ago(1h) | summarize count() by bin(timestamp, 5m)\"}" - Analyze exceptions: operation="app_insights", subscription_id="<subscription-id>", resource_group="<resource-group>", parameters="{\"app_insights_name\":\"myapp-insights\", \"query\":\"exceptions | where timestamp > ago(24h) | summarize count() by type, bin(timestamp, 1h)\"}" - Performance with timespan: operation="app_insights", subscription_id="<subscription-id>", resource_group="<resource-group>", parameters="{\"app_insights_name\":\"myapp-insights\", \"query\":\"performanceCounters | where category == 'Processor' | summarize avg(value) by bin(timestamp, 5m)\", \"timespan\":\"PT1H\"}" diagnostics: - Verify diagnostic settings: operation="diagnostics", subscription_id="<subscription-id>", resource_group="<resource-group>", cluster_name="<cluster-name>", parameters="{}" control_plane_logs: - Query API server logs: operation="control_plane_logs", subscription_id="<subscription-id>", resource_group="<resource-group>", cluster_name="<cluster-name>", parameters="{\"log_category\":\"kube-apiserver\", \"start_time\":\"<start-time>\", \"end_time\":\"<end-time>\", \"max_records\":\"50\"}" - Debug authentication issues: operation="control_plane_logs", subscription_id="<subscription-id>", resource_group="<resource-group>", cluster_name="<cluster-name>", parameters="{\"log_category\":\"guard\", \"start_time\":\"<start-time>\", \"end_time\":\"<end-time>\", \"max_records\":\"100\"}" - Analyze audit events: operation="control_plane_logs", subscription_id="<subscription-id>", resource_group="<resource-group>", cluster_name="<cluster-name>", parameters="{\"log_category\":\"kube-audit\", \"log_level\":\"error\", \"start_time\":\"<start-time>\", \"end_time\":\"<end-time>\", \"max_records\":\"50\"}"
