Azure Kubernetes Service Diagnostics (preview) overview

Troubleshooting Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster issues plays an important role in maintaining your cluster, especially if your cluster is running mission-critical workloads. AKS Diagnostics is an intelligent, self-diagnostic experience that:

  • Helps you identify and resolve problems in your cluster.
  • Is cloud-native.
  • Requires no extra configuration or billing cost.

This feature is now in public preview.

Open AKS Diagnostics

To access AKS Diagnostics:

  1. Navigate to your Kubernetes cluster in the Azure portal.
  2. Click on Diagnose and solve problems in the left navigation, which opens AKS Diagnostics.
  3. Choose a category that best describes the issue of your cluster, like Cluster Node Issues, by:
    • Using the keywords in the homepage tile.
    • Typing a keyword that best describes your issue in the search bar.

Homepage

View a diagnostic report

After you click on a category, you can view a diagnostic report specific to your cluster. Diagnostic reports intelligently call out any issues in your cluster with status icons. You can drill down on each topic by clicking More Info to see a detailed description of:

  • Issues
  • Recommended actions
  • Links to helpful docs
  • Related-metrics
  • Logging data

Diagnostic reports generate based on the current state of your cluster after running various checks. They can be useful for pinpointing the problem of your cluster and understanding next steps to resolve the issue.
