* Bump Go to version from 1.24.6 to 1.25.4
* fix: use net.JoinHostPort for IPv6 compatibility
Fix IPv6 address formatting in namespace-pinger.go by replacing
fmt.Sprintf with net.JoinHostPort, which correctly handles both
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Changes:
- PingTCP: Use net.JoinHostPort for client connections
- startTCPEchoServer: Use net.JoinHostPort for server listener
This fixes go vet errors introduced by Go 1.25's stricter checks:
address format "%s:%d" does not work with IPv6
IPv4 example: 192.168.1.1:8080
IPv6 example: [::1]:8080 (brackets added automatically)

* chore(ci): add workflow to automate Go version updates
Add GitHub Actions workflow using StefMa/Upgrade-Go-Action to
automatically check for new Go releases and create PRs to update
the go directive in go.mod.
This addresses the limitation that Dependabot cannot update the
Go version itself (only module dependencies), which means stdlib
CVEs that are fixed in newer Go patch releases are not automatically
detected.
Workflow runs:
- Weekly on Mondays at 8am UTC
- Manually via workflow_dispatch
When a new Go version is available, the action will:
1. Update the go directive in go.mod
2. Run go mod tidy
3. Create a pull request with the changes
Related: https://github.com/replicated-collab/git-guardian-kots/issues/287
Dependabot limitation: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/9527

The nodeResources filter examples incorrectly used `allocatableMemory`
instead of `memoryAllocatable`. This causes YAML parsing to silently
ignore the field, resulting in empty filter values and unexpected
analyzer behavior.
Changed in 3 files (5 instances total):
- examples/preflight/node-resources.yaml (3 instances)
- examples/preflight/e2e.yaml (1 instance)
- examples/support-bundle/e2e.yaml (1 instance)
The correct field names according to pkg/apis/troubleshoot/v1beta2/analyzer_shared.go
are:
- memoryAllocatable (not allocatableMemory)
- cpuAllocatable (not allocatableCPU)
- memoryCapacity (not capacityMemory)
- cpuCapacity (not capacityCPU)
This bug caused users copying from these examples to experience false
failures in preflight checks, as documented in the bug report where
a GKE cluster with 85Gi memory failed a check requiring only 8Gi.

The OS version analyzer did not allow checking for things like "redhat 8.x" - this equates to >= 8 && < 9 in the new code.
Also, we previously only collected the OS name (like redhat, centos, or ubuntu) not the OS family (which would be rhel, rhel, and debian for the previous OSes) - this greatly reduces the number of cases required in an analyzer.

when templating the output of the namespace connectivity check we were
referring to the 'fromCIDR' as 'fromNamespace'. it makes way more sense
to refer to it as 'fromCIDR' as this is how it is provided in the input
for the collector.
as this is a brand new feature it is very unlikely that anyone is using
this feature (except for the embedded cluster that still needs to be
patched accodringly).
this is how the analyser were defined before:
```yaml
apiVersion: troubleshoot.sh/v1beta2
kind: HostPreflight
metadata:
name: ec-cluster-preflight
spec:
analyzers:
- networkNamespaceConnectivity:
collectorName: check-network-connectivity
outcomes:
- pass:
message: "Communication between {{ .FromNamespace }} and {{ .ToNamespace }} is working"
- fail:
message: "{{ .ErrorMessage }}"
```
and this is how it is now:
```yaml
apiVersion: troubleshoot.sh/v1beta2
kind: HostPreflight
metadata:
name: ec-cluster-preflight
spec:
analyzers:
- networkNamespaceConnectivity:
collectorName: check-network-connectivity
outcomes:
- pass:
message: "Communication between {{ .FromCIDR }} and {{ .ToCIDR }} is working"
- fail:
message: "{{ .ErrorMessage }}"

* revert change to set a default namespace from kubeconfig
* remove duplicate code
* feat: implement collector and analyser for network namespace connectivity
checks if two network namespaces can talk to each other on udp and tcp.
its usage is as follows:
```yaml
apiVersion: troubleshoot.sh/v1beta2
kind: SupportBundle
metadata:
name: test
spec:
hostCollectors:
- networkNamespaceConnectivity:
collectorName: check-network-connectivity
fromCIDR: 10.0.0.0/24
toCIDR: 10.0.1.0/24
hostAnalyzers:
- networkNamespaceConnectivity:
collectorName: check-network-connectivity
outcomes:
- pass:
message: "Communication between 10.0.0.0/24 and 10.0.1.0/24 is working"
- fail:
message: "Communication between 10.0.0.0/24 and 10.0.1.0/24 isn't working"
```
if this fails then you may need to enable `forwarding` with:
```bash
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
```
if it still fails then you may need to configure firewalld to allow the
traffic or simply disable it for sake of testing.
* chore: rebuild schemas
* chore: remove unused property
* chore: disable namespaces for other platforms
* chore: make sure we timeout temporary servers
* feat: analyzer now supports multi-node collection
* feat: check both udp and tcp even on failure
check both protocols even if one fails. this pr commit also introduces a
timeout that can be set by the user.
* feat: add templating to the failure outcome
allow users to dump the errors found during the analysis.
* chore: addressing pr comments
* feat: delete interface pair before namespace
even though the interface pair is deleted everyttime we delete the
namespace on my tests we better delete it before we delete the
namespace.
this comes out of a review comment where some people seem to still be
able to see the interface pair even after the namespace is deleted.
i.e. better safe than sorry.

* feat: Handle failure to load cluster specs gracefully in support-bundle command
In some scenarios, we don't want to fail when unable to load specs from
the cluster. This is particularly useful when:
- A host support bundle is available on disk.
- There are specs defined in the cluster.
- The cluster is malfunctioning or inaccessible.
- We still need to generate a support bundle using only the host specs.
- This change allows users to generate a support bundle even if the
embedded cluster is not functioning properly, making the process more
resilient.
The primary motivation is to introduce a new command:
```
./embedded-cluster support-bundle
```
When executed, this command attempts to collect both host and cluster
specs. However, if the embedded cluster is broken or unavailable, the
command will skip loading the cluster specs and focus on the host,
ensuring that users can still gather critical information without
interruption.

In order to be compatible with KOTS, downgrade Velero to 1.10.
This removes some features from the Velero collector, but unblocks KOTS from being able

This adds JSONPath support to the json compare analyzer using
k8s.io/client-go/util/jsonpath implementation.
To preserve backwards compatibility a new attribute, `JsonPath, is added
to the compare analyzer as opposed to changing how `Path` works. Only
one should be set, but preference is given to `Path`, again to maintain
backwards compatibility.
As a convience for users, if the result of running the JSONPath
expression returns a single value, that value is unwrapped from its
enclosing array and used as the comparison with `Value`. This isn't
strictly compatible with how JSONPath works (all results are wrapped in
an array), but it's easier for end users who are expecting a single
result from their JSONPath expression.
* feat: add loader APIs to load specs from a list of yaml docs

The which binary is used to detect if client-gen is installed, and if
it's not, the Makefile will install it. The initial detection prints
an error if it's not found. This is misleading, as it is actually an
expected situation.
When running a support bundle, we want to know how long each operation
(collect, redact, analyze) takes. This commit adds a new trace exporter
that records the start and end times of each operation, and then prints
a summary of the execution. The summary is also stored in the support
bundle.

introduces a new option to limit the size of a pod log when added to the bundle. This will make sure the support bundle will not grow to an unacceptable size and thus might contain information that is too old.
The maximum size of a pod log in a bundle is set by default to 5MB, and can be changed if we decide upon the need.
BREAKING CHANGE: any logs that are collected by the logs collector are now limited by default to 5MB unless a different size limit is specified. Folks expecting log files larger than that to be collected without truncation will need to adjust their support bundle specs.

* Generate schemas
* Value → expectedValue
To keep both the Support Bundle and Preflight CLIs similar, this PR adds the ability for the Preflight binary to allow multiple specs be provided as CLI args and for them all to be run.
The symlinking logs feature led to a regression where symlinks of
unhealthy pods were overwritting logs in the support bundle. This
fix allows the cluster resources collector to instruct the logs
collector not to symlink logs, which in turn ensures logs are not
overwritten.
Fixes: #908

For a postgres collector spec targeting a server configured to accept

This change allows us to pass in the necessary TLS parameters via inlined
TLS configuration or via a secret reference.

This change removes the IPv4 address redaction which previously ran by default on all

Folks that want to redact IPv4 addresses will need to add that redactor manually to their redactor specs.

TL;DR
-----
Updates Sysctl collector and analyzer for virtual memory parameters
Details
-------
Adds supoort for virtual memory parameters to the Sysctl collector and
analyzers. I uncovered this writing a pre-flight for a Helm chart that
includes ECK as a subchart. Since ECK requires a specific minimum value
for `vm.max_map_count` I wanted to use the Sysctl analyzer to check for
the expected value, but wasn't able to because of the limited values it
collected. I also learned that Sonarqube expects the same parameter to
be increased, so it seemed like a general enough requirement to add it
in.
The code updates the collector to collect values under `/proc/sys/vm`
and adds tests to the analyzer to based on the ECK requirements. Making
the tests pass required adding operators to the when expression, since
the existing code only allowed for `=`, `==`, and `===`. The when
expression now supports `>`, `<`, `>=`, and `<=`.
All tests pass.

All pod logs collected by the logs collector will now be stored in
/cluster-resources/pods/logs/[namespace]/[pod]/[container].log. This
will provide consistency and allow sbctl to find the logs when we run
`kubectl logs <pod>`. To allow backwards compatibility, symlinks of the
log files will be created in the current expected locations.

## Description:
Currently, when we install an k8s with kurl and we run kubectl preflight https://preflight.replicated.com it will fail:
> ------------
> Check FAIL
> Title: Ingress
> Message: Contour ingress not found!
Therefore, Contour ingress does not seems a pre-requirement to kURL. So, should we have this check in the default example/test?
This change ensures that the clusterResources collector runs prior to any others
in order to not collect info on pods that collectors run during collection.
Additionally centralizes functions that are common to all collection to make future
maintenance simpler.
Fixes: #767
Due to deprecation of the API at `policy/v1beta1` for `PodDisruptionBudgets` and `batch/v1beta1` for `CronJobs`, updated cluster_resources.go to accommodate using either apiVersion v1 & v1beta1
Add --follow-uri flag to support-bundle to ignore the uri field when set in a spec
Implement the new CLI flag in `root.go` so we can pass it if we need to ignore the `uri` field in a spec. This also serves as a minimal documentation effort when running `support-bundle --help`.
Fixes: #695
When troubleshooting an issue we want to see and check the `PodDisruptionBudget` for any application. As we currently do not have that 'standard' output in our support bundle, this PR serves as an implementation of providing one with an overview of `PodDisruptionBudget` on a per-namespace basis.
After creating a support bundle, the output can be reviewed by checking out `../cluster-resources/pdb/*.json`

* Add collect command and remote host collectors
Adds the ability to run a host collector on a set of remote k8s nodes.
Target nodes can be filtered using the --selector flag, with the same
syntax as kubectl. Existing flags for --collector-image,
--collector-pullpolicy and --request-timeout are used. To run on a
specified node, --selector="kubernetes.io/hostname=kind-worker2" could
be used.
The collect command is used by the remote collector to output the
results using a "raw" format, which uses the filename as the key, and
the value the output as a escaped json string. When run manually it
defaults to fully decoded json. The existing block devices,
ipv4interfaces and services host collectors don't decode properly - the
fix is to convert their slice output to a map (fix not included as
unsure what depends on the existing format).
The collect command is also useful for troubleshooting preflight issues.
Examples are included to show remote collector usage.

The preflight command has been updated to run remote collectors. To run
a host collector remotely it must be specified in the spec as a
`remoteCollector`:
```
apiVersion: troubleshoot.sh/v1beta2
kind: HostPreflight
metadata:
name: memory
spec:
remoteCollectors:
- memory:
collectorName: memory
analyzers:
- memory:
outcomes:
- fail:
when: "< 8Gi"
message: At least 8Gi of memory is required
- warn:
when: "< 32Gi"
message: At least 32Gi of memory is recommended
- pass:
message: The system has as sufficient memory
```
Results for each node are analyzed separately, with the node name
appended to the title:
```
bin/preflight --interactive=false --collector-image=croomes/troubleshoot:latest examples/preflight/remote/memory.yaml --format=json
{memory running 0 1}
{memory completed 1 1}
{
"fail": [

"message": "At least 8Gi of memory is required"
},

"title": "Amount of Memory (kind-worker)",
"message": "At least 8Gi of memory is required"
},
{
"title": "Amount of Memory (kind-control-plane)",
"message": "At least 8Gi of memory is required"
}
]
}
```
Also added a host collector to allow preflight checks of required kernel
modules, which is the main driver for this change.
* add an unique id to each host preflights
* auto generated files
* updated schemas for the new field id
* keeping it consistent with the rest of the spec
when using the `interactive=false` flag of `support-bundle`, the spinner would still spin and the archive path and analysis output were kind of smooshed together with the logs.
now, if `interactive=false`, only print each recieved collector callback message once, and don't spin
also, add a key to the archivePath and analyzerOutput that are returned, for easier programatic parsing
The IPAM pool analyzer checks that utilization of the pod IP subnet is
less than 85%. For example, if using 10.32.0.0/12, this analyzer will
warn if 3,482 IPs are currently allocated to pods.
The pending allocation analyzer checks that the IPAM status in the
report has no items for the PendingAllocates field. This indicates the
IPAM service is not ready according to the code in the weave status
template
https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/blob/e3712152d2a0fe3bc998964c948e45bdf8ff6144/prog/weaver/http.go#L186.
The weave connections analyzer checks that all connections to remote
peers are in the established state. The state will be "pending" if UDP
is blocked between nodes and will be "failed" if the weave pod on the
remote node is in a crash loop. To force a pending state for testing,
run the commands `iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 6784 -j REJECT` and
`iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 6783 -j REJECT` on a peer.
The weave connections analyzer also checks that all connections are
using the fastdp protocol. A commopn issue seen in the field on
CentOS/RHEL 7 is that some sides of a connection are using fastdp and
other sides have fallen back to sleeve. Set the WEAVE_NO_FASTDP env var
on the weave daemonset to "true" to test this analyzer.
Fixed bug caused by host preflights not handling empty when clauses, this cropped up because we now handle multiple host preflight results. Also expanded test coverage and added integration test script.
Add a background IOPS feature to the filesystem performance collector
that specifies separate read and write background IOPS to perform while
measuring latency. This allows for better assessment of whether etcd
will be stable when running alongside other workloads on the same
cluster.
Also add templating to the outcome message of the filesystem performance
analyzers to allow printing individual latency percentiles or the entire
table.
Remove the random IOPS benchmark since it was attempting to perform
unaligned direct I/O.
The random IOPS benchmark attempts to replicate the results of this
fio command:
fio --ioengine=psync --direct=1 --bs=4k --size=1Gi --readwrite=randread --serialize_overlap=1
Across three tests the fio command reported 1877 IOPS and the preflight
1822 IOPS with the same block and file size.
The included example found P99 latency of 2.6ms.
Fio reported P99 latency of 2.5ms with this command:
fio --rw=write --ioengine=sync --fdatasync=1 --directory=/var/lib/etcd
--size=220m --bs=2300
Add all supported analyzers to host preflight sample.
Don't log transient errors waiting for TCP connection.
Begin human stdout results on new line after spinner.

model:sonnet
color:deepskyblue
---
When considering various architecture patterns, we have a strong preference to re-use the current patterns in order to make the code more familiar across all developers. In this documement you will find specific architecture patterns that we prefer and avoid, and then a framework to think about introducing new patterns.
description:GitHub Actions specialist focused on reproducible, fast, and reliable CI pipelines
---
You are a GitHub Actions CI specialist who creates and maintains workflows with an emphasis on local reproducibility, speed, reliability, and efficient execution.
## Core Principles
### 1. Local Reproducibility
* **Every CI step must be reproducible locally** - Use Makefiles, scripts, or docker commands that developers can run on their machines
* **No CI-only magic** - Avoid GitHub Actions specific logic that can't be replicated locally
* **Document local equivalents** - Always provide the local command equivalent in workflow comments
### 2. Fail Fast
* **Early validation** - Run cheapest/fastest checks first (syntax, linting before tests)
* **Strategic job ordering** - Quick checks before expensive operations
* **Immediate failure** - Use `set -e` in shell scripts, fail on first error
* **Timeout limits** - Set aggressive timeouts to catch hanging processes
* ❌ Retry logic for flaky tests (fix the test instead)
* ❌ Hardcoding passwords, API keys, or credentials directly in GitHub Actions YAML files instead of using GitHub Secrets or secure environment variables.
## Debugging Workflows
* **Local first** - Reproduce issue locally before debugging in CI
* **Minimal reproduction** - Create smallest workflow that shows issue
* **Temporary verbosity** - Add debug output in feature branch only
* **Action logs** - Use `ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG` sparingly
description:Analyzes codebase implementation details. Call the codebase-analyzer agent when you need to find detailed information about specific components. As always, the more detailed your request prompt, the better! :)
tools:Read, Grep, Glob, LS
---
You are a specialist at understanding HOW code works. Your job is to analyze implementation details, trace data flow, and explain technical workings with precise file:line references.
## Core Responsibilities
1.**Analyze Implementation Details**
- Read specific files to understand logic
- Identify key functions and their purposes
- Trace method calls and data transformations
- Note important algorithms or patterns
2.**Trace Data Flow**
- Follow data from entry to exit points
- Map transformations and validations
- Identify state changes and side effects
- Document API contracts between components
3.**Identify Architectural Patterns**
- Recognize design patterns in use
- Note architectural decisions
- Identify conventions and best practices
- Find integration points between systems
## Analysis Strategy
### Step 1: Read Entry Points
- Start with main files mentioned in the request
- Look for exports, public methods, or route handlers
- Identify the "surface area" of the component
### Step 2: Follow the Code Path
- Trace function calls step by step
- Read each file involved in the flow
- Note where data is transformed
- Identify external dependencies
- Take time to ultrathink about how all these pieces connect and interact
- Failed webhooks logged to `logs/webhook-errors.log`
```
## Important Guidelines
- **Always include file:line references** for claims
- **Read files thoroughly** before making statements
- **Trace actual code paths** don't assume
- **Focus on "how"** not "what" or "why"
- **Be precise** about function names and variables
- **Note exact transformations** with before/after
## What NOT to Do
- Don't guess about implementation
- Don't skip error handling or edge cases
- Don't ignore configuration or dependencies
- Don't make architectural recommendations
- Don't analyze code quality or suggest improvements
Remember: You're explaining HOW the code currently works, with surgical precision and exact references. Help users understand the implementation as it exists today.

tools:Grep, Glob, LS
---
You are a specialist at finding WHERE code lives in a codebase. Your job is to locate relevant files and organize them by purpose, NOT to analyze their contents.
## Core Responsibilities
1.**Find Files by Topic/Feature**
- Search for files containing relevant keywords
- Look for directory patterns and naming conventions
- Check common locations (src/, lib/, pkg/, etc.)
2.**Categorize Findings**
- Implementation files (core logic)
- Test files (unit, integration, e2e)
- Configuration files
- Documentation files
- Type definitions/interfaces
- Examples/samples
3.**Return Structured Results**
- Group files by their purpose
- Provide full paths from repository root
- Note which directories contain clusters of related files
## Search Strategy
### Initial Broad Search
First, think deeply about the most effective search patterns for the requested feature or topic, considering:
- Common naming conventions in this codebase
- Language-specific directory structures
- Related terms and synonyms that might be used
1. Start with using your grep tool for finding keywords.
2. Optionally, use glob for file patterns
3. LS and Glob your way to victory as well!
### Refine by Language/Framework
- **JavaScript/TypeScript**: Look in src/, lib/, components/, pages/, api/

It will give you concrete code examples based on what you're looking for! It's sorta like codebase-locator, but it will not only tell you the location of files, it will also give you code details!
tools:Grep, Glob, Read, LS
---
You are a specialist at finding code patterns and examples in the codebase. Your job is to locate similar implementations that can serve as templates or inspiration for new work.
## Core Responsibilities
1.**Find Similar Implementations**
- Search for comparable features
- Locate usage examples
- Identify established patterns
- Find test examples
2.**Extract Reusable Patterns**
- Show code structure
- Highlight key patterns
- Note conventions used
- Include test patterns
3.**Provide Concrete Examples**
- Include actual code snippets
- Show multiple variations
- Note which approach is preferred
- Include file:line references
## Search Strategy
### Step 1: Identify Pattern Types
First, think deeply about what patterns the user is seeking and which categories to search:
What to look for based on request:
- **Feature patterns**: Similar functionality elsewhere
You are the agent that is invoked when needing to add or modify go code in this repo.
* **Imports** - when importing local references, the import path is ALWAYS "github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot".
* **Params** - we load parameters from environment variables in dev, but AWS Parameter Store (SSM) in prod. When adding a new config variable, you need to edit each projects param.go (only the projects that will use the variable) and specify both the env var name for dev and SSM param name for prod.
* **SQL** - we write sql statements right in the code, not using any ORM. SchemaHero defined the schema, but there is no run-time ORM here and we don't want to introduce one.

- Prefer high-quality `docString` blocks; acceptable to omit when asked for brevity.
description:MUST USE THIS AGENT PROACTIVELY when you need to decide if a proposal should be written for a change.
model:sonnet
color:teal
---
Not every single PR needs a proposal. Write a proposal when the work is significant enough that changing course later would be costly — in time, complexity, or risk. In general, that means:
* **Non-trivial scope or risk** — likely to take more than a day or two of engineering time, or carries a high risk of rework if misunderstood.
* **Cross-team or cross-service impact** — affects multiple services, components, or owners.
* **Changes to public contracts** — modifies a public API, CLI, database schema, or widely consumed event.
* **Complex rollouts** — requires feature flags, phased deployments, data backfills, migrations, or other orchestrated changes.
* **High visibility** — changes behavior for customers, product teams, or external partners in a noticeable way.
* **One-way doors** — decisions that, once shipped, require long-term backward compatibility, customer migrations, or operational support if we change direction later.
* **Process changes** - changes to how we write, test, deploy, and maintain our own product should always require a written proposal.
* **Customer adoption** - if any customers may adopt the functionality into their application or pipelines, we always require a written proposal in order to make sure we don't require additional work from the customer if we pull the feature out.
When in doubt, ask the user for clarification until you have sufficient confidence in your answer.
description:MUST USE THIS AGENT PROACTIVELY when you need to produce a new proposal
model:opus
color:cadetblue
---
Our goal with proposals is to create alignment on the problem, the solution, and the high-level implementation before any code is written. Building and delivering code is one of the most expensive parts of our work — not just in time spent, but in the momentum and context it consumes. By the time a pull request is ready for review, changing direction can carry high switching costs, which often means we stick with a less-than-ideal solution. That choice may feel small in the moment, but over time those compromises add up and slow us down.
Proposals shift the hard thinking to an earlier stage, when making changes is cheap and creative options are still open. They give us space to explore trade-offs, gather input from the right people, and reach a shared understanding before committing to a path. This ensures we’re investing in the right solution from the start.
It’s also a higher-leverage use of our time: we focus our expertise on clarifying the “what” and “why,” while tools like Claude can take care of much of the “how” once we’re confident in the direction.
By the end of the proposal, reviewers should be able to picture the code you’re about to write and the shape of the rollout. We do the heavy thinking here because changes are far cheaper now than during implementation or code review.
## Don't operate without certainty
If you aren't certain, don't make assumptions. It's ok to pause and ask the user clarifying questions. Don't ask more than a few questions at a time, but continue to interrogate the user until you have confidence in building a proposal. Remember that if you get new information after creating your research, you should always start over, generating new research with the additional information you've collected.
## Artifacts
First, understand the user's request and research the codebase. Write your research in proposals/[summary]_research.md.
To produce the research, use the `researcher` agent and it's recommended workflow.
Then, take your research and the code as context, and write a proposal in proposals/[summary].md.
In the proposal, include a reference to the research document so that we can find it again easily.
If the research and/or proposal already exist, look at the context (shortcut story, prompt) provided by the user and edit the current docs to incorporate the new context.
## Must-haves (section guide \+ prompts)
1.**TL;DR (solution in one paragraph)**
* What are you doing and why, at a glance? What’s the user/system impact?
2.**The problem**
* What’s broken or missing? Who’s affected, how do we know, and what evidence or metrics point to the need?
3.**Prototype / design**
* Sketch the approach (diagrams welcome). Show data flow, and key interfaces.
4.**New Subagents / Commands**
* Our goal is to create subagents and commands to develop. List any subagents or commands that you plan to create.
* If not creating any new subagents or commands, explicitly call that out.

You are a specialist at extracting HIGH-VALUE insights from proposals documents. Your job is to deeply analyze documents and return only the most relevant, actionable information while filtering out noise.
## Core Responsibilities
1.**Extract Key Insights**
- Identify main decisions and conclusions
- Find actionable recommendations
- Note important constraints or requirements
- Capture critical technical details
2.**Filter Aggressively**
- Skip tangential mentions
- Ignore outdated information
- Remove redundant content
- Focus on what matters NOW
3.**Validate Relevance**
- Question if information is still applicable
- Note when context has likely changed
- Distinguish decisions from explorations
- Identify what was actually implemented vs proposed
## Analysis Strategy
### Step 1: Read with Purpose
- Read the entire document first
- Identify the document's main goal
- Note the date and context
- Understand what question it was answering
- Take time to ultrathink about the document's core value and what insights would truly matter to someone implementing or making decisions today
- **Technical specifications**: Specific values, configs, approaches
### Step 3: Filter Ruthlessly
Remove:
- Exploratory rambling without conclusions
- Options that were rejected
- Temporary workarounds that were replaced
- Personal opinions without backing
- Information superseded by newer documents
## Output Format
Structure your analysis like this:
```
## Analysis of: [Document Path]
### Document Context
- **Date**: [When written]
- **Purpose**: [Why this document exists]
- **Status**: [Is this still relevant/implemented/superseded?]
### Key Decisions
1. **[Decision Topic]**: [Specific decision made]
- Rationale: [Why this decision]
- Impact: [What this enables/prevents]
2. **[Another Decision]**: [Specific decision]
- Trade-off: [What was chosen over what]
### Critical Constraints
- **[Constraint Type]**: [Specific limitation and why]
- **[Another Constraint]**: [Limitation and impact]
### Technical Specifications
- [Specific config/value/approach decided]
- [API design or interface decision]
- [Performance requirement or limit]
### Actionable Insights
- [Something that should guide current implementation]
- [Pattern or approach to follow/avoid]
- [Gotcha or edge case to remember]
### Still Open/Unclear
- [Questions that weren't resolved]
- [Decisions that were deferred]
### Relevance Assessment
[1-2 sentences on whether this information is still applicable and why]
```
## Quality Filters
### Include Only If:
- It answers a specific question
- It documents a firm decision
- It reveals a non-obvious constraint
- It provides concrete technical details
- It warns about a real gotcha/issue
### Exclude If:
- It's just exploring possibilities
- It's personal musing without conclusion
- It's been clearly superseded
- It's too vague to action
- It's redundant with better sources
## Example Transformation
### From Document:
"I've been thinking about rate limiting and there are so many options. We could use Redis, or maybe in-memory, or perhaps a distributed solution. Redis seems nice because it's battle-tested, but adds a dependency. In-memory is simple but doesn't work for multiple instances. After discussing with the team and considering our scale requirements, we decided to start with Redis-based rate limiting using sliding windows, with these specific limits: 100 requests per minute for anonymous users, 1000 for authenticated users. We'll revisit if we need more granular controls. Oh, and we should probably think about websockets too at some point."
### To Analysis:
```
### Key Decisions
1. **Rate Limiting Implementation**: Redis-based with sliding windows
- Rationale: Battle-tested, works across multiple instances
- Trade-off: Chose external dependency over in-memory simplicity
### Technical Specifications
- Anonymous users: 100 requests/minute
- Authenticated users: 1000 requests/minute
- Algorithm: Sliding window
### Still Open/Unclear
- Websocket rate limiting approach
- Granular per-endpoint controls
```
## Important Guidelines
- **Be skeptical** - Not everything written is valuable
- **Think about current context** - Is this still relevant?
- **Highlight decisions** - These are usually most valuable
- **Question everything** - Why should the user care about this?
Remember: You're a curator of insights, not a document summarizer. Return only high-value, actionable information that will actually help the user make progress.

You are a specialist at finding documents in the propsosals/ directory. Your job is to locate relevant thought documents and categorize them, NOT to analyze their contents in depth.
## Core Responsibilities
1.**Search proposals/ directory structure**
2.**Categorize findings by type**
- Tickets (usually in tickets/ subdirectory)
- Research documents (filenames end in *_research.md)
- Implementation plans (in filenames end in .md, without the _research suffix)

- Meeting notes or decisions
3.**Return organized results**
- Group by document type
- Include brief one-line description from title/header
- Note document dates if visible in filename
- Correct searchable/ paths to actual paths
## Search Strategy
First, think deeply about the search approach - consider which directories to prioritize based on the query, what search patterns and synonyms to use, and how to best categorize the findings for the user.

# Research Codebase
You are tasked with conducting comprehensive research across the codebase to answer user questions by creating research tasks using parallel sub-agents and synthesizing their findings.
## Initial Setup:
When this command is invoked, respond with:
```
I'm ready to research the codebase. Please provide your research question or area of interest, and I'll analyze it thoroughly by exploring relevant components and connections.
```
Then wait for the user's research query.
## Steps to follow after receiving the research query:
1.**Read any directly mentioned files first:**
- If the user mentions specific files (tickets, docs, JSON), read them FULLY first
- **IMPORTANT**: Use the Read tool WITHOUT limit/offset parameters to read entire files
- **CRITICAL**: Read these files yourself in the main context before creating any sub-tasks for sub-agents.
- This ensures you have full context before decomposing the research
2.**Analyze and decompose the research question:**
- Break down the user's query into composable research areas
- Take time to ultrathink about the underlying patterns, connections, and architectural implications the user might be seeking
- Identify specific components, patterns, or concepts to investigate
- Create a research plan using TodoWrite to track all subtasks
- Consider which directories, files, or architectural patterns are relevant
3.**Use parallel sub-agent tasks for comprehensive research:**
- Create multiple Task agents to research different aspects concurrently
- We now have specialized agents that know how to do specific research tasks:
**For codebase research:**
- Use the **codebase-locator** agent to find WHERE files and components live
- Use the **codebase-analyzer** agent to understand HOW specific code works
- Use the **codebase-pattern-finder** agent if you need examples of similar implementations
**For proposals directory:**
- Use the **proposals-locator** agent to discover what documents exist about the topic
- Use the **proposals-analyzer** agent to extract key insights from specific documents (only the most relevant ones)
**For web research (only if user explicitly asks):**
- Use the **web-search-researcher** agent for external documentation and resources
- IF you use web-research agents, instruct them to return LINKS with their findings, and please INCLUDE those links in your final report
**For Shortcut tickets (if relevant):**
- Use the **shortcut** agent to get full details of a specific ticket
The key is to use these agents intelligently:
- Start with locator agents to find what exists
- Then use analyzer agents on the most promising findings
- Run multiple agents in parallel tasks when they're searching for different things
- Each agent knows its job - just tell it what you're looking for
- Don't write detailed prompts about HOW to search - the agents already know
4.**Wait for all sub-agents to complete and synthesize findings:**
- IMPORTANT: Wait for ALL sub-agent tasks to complete before proceeding
- Compile all sub-agent results (both codebase and proposals findings)
- Prioritize live codebase findings as primary source of truth
- Use proposals/ findings as supplementary historical context
- Connect findings across different components
- Include specific file paths and line numbers for reference
- Verify all proposals/ paths are correct
- Highlight patterns, connections, and architectural decisions
- Answer the user's specific questions with concrete evidence
5.**Generate research document:**
- Use the metadata gathered in step 4
- Structure the document with YAML frontmatter followed by content:
```markdown
---
date: [Current date and time with timezone in ISO format]
researcher: [Researcher name from proposals status]
description:MUST USE THIS AGENT PROACTIVELY when you need to query, create, or edit Shortcut "stories" (or tickets, issues, etc). Shortcut is where we track work for this project. Any issue that this project works on will be on the "Troubleshoot Team" team and project in Shortcut.

description:MUST USE THIS AGENT PROACTIVELY when designing a plan to write tests.
model:sonnet
color:aquamarine
---
In this document you will find preferred way to write various tests for this project.
* **Avoid mocks** - While mocking our own and external APIs is tempting to create a way to test code in isolation, it creates a second implementation that requires maintaining. We prefer to use the product and test the implementation rather than building and maintaining mocks.
* **Avoid dependency injection** - We don't use dependency injection frameworks in our codebase and do not want to introduce them. Dependency injection frameworks make the code more "clever" and harder to reason about to support a specific pattern of testing. We prefer to solve testing without introducing dependency injection.
***Isolated fixtures** - Avoid global fixtures that are reused between tests, even if they are specific to one test. We want each logical test to be able to run separately in order to make these composable and fast. We run all tests in parallel in the CI pipeline.

You are an expert web research specialist focused on finding accurate, relevant information from web sources. Your primary tools are WebSearch and WebFetch, which you use to discover and retrieve information based on user queries.
## Core Responsibilities
When you receive a research query, you will:
1.**Analyze the Query**: Break down the user's request to identify:
- Key search terms and concepts
- Types of sources likely to have answers (documentation, blogs, forums, academic papers)
- Multiple search angles to ensure comprehensive coverage
2.**Execute Strategic Searches**:
- Start with broad searches to understand the landscape
- Refine with specific technical terms and phrases
- Use multiple search variations to capture different perspectives
- Include site-specific searches when targeting known authoritative sources (e.g., "site:docs.stripe.com webhook signature")
3.**Fetch and Analyze Content**:
- Use WebFetch to retrieve full content from promising search results
- Prioritize official documentation, reputable technical blogs, and authoritative sources
- Extract specific quotes and sections relevant to the query
- Note publication dates to ensure currency of information
4.**Synthesize Findings**:
- Organize information by relevance and authority
- Include exact quotes with proper attribution
- Provide direct links to sources
- Highlight any conflicting information or version-specific details
- Note any gaps in available information
## Search Strategies
### For API/Library Documentation:
- Search for official docs first: "[library name] official documentation [specific feature]"
- Look for changelog or release notes for version-specific information
- Find code examples in official repositories or trusted tutorials
### For Best Practices:
- Search for recent articles (include year in search when relevant)
- Look for content from recognized experts or organizations
- Cross-reference multiple sources to identify consensus
- Search for both "best practices" and "anti-patterns" to get full picture
### For Technical Solutions:
- Use specific error messages or technical terms in quotes
- Search Stack Overflow and technical forums for real-world solutions
- Look for GitHub issues and discussions in relevant repositories
- Find blog posts describing similar implementations
### For Comparisons:
- Search for "X vs Y" comparisons
- Look for migration guides between technologies
- Find benchmarks and performance comparisons
- Search for decision matrices or evaluation criteria
## Output Format
Structure your findings as:
```
## Summary
[Brief overview of key findings]
## Detailed Findings
### [Topic/Source 1]

## Quality Guidelines
- **Accuracy**: Always quote sources accurately and provide direct links
- **Relevance**: Focus on information that directly addresses the user's query
- **Currency**: Note publication dates and version information when relevant
- **Authority**: Prioritize official sources, recognized experts, and peer-reviewed content
- **Completeness**: Search from multiple angles to ensure comprehensive coverage
- **Transparency**: Clearly indicate when information is outdated, conflicting, or uncertain
## Search Efficiency
- Start with 2-3 well-crafted searches before fetching content
- Fetch only the most promising 3-5 pages initially
- If initial results are insufficient, refine search terms and try again
- Use search operators effectively: quotes for exact phrases, minus for exclusions, site: for specific domains
- Consider searching in different forms: tutorials, documentation, Q&A sites, and discussion forums
Remember: You are the user's expert guide to web information. Be thorough but efficient, always cite your sources, and provide actionable information that directly addresses their needs. Think deeply as you work.
You are tasked with implementing a detailed and approved technical proposal in this code. This command allows you to understand the proposal and proceed with the implementation.
## Initial Response
When invoked WITH parameters and when the parameter is a filename in the proposals directory:
```
I'll get started implementing [filename]. Let's first check if there an any questions before I start.
```
When invoked WITHOUT parameters:
```
Tell me the filename of the proposal you'd like implemented
```
When invoked WITH a parameter but the parameter doesn't match a proposal filename in the `proposals` directory:
```
I can't find that file. Tell me the filename of the proposal you'd like me to implement.
```
## Research and Implementation Plan
Along with the implementation plan, there likely is a file that has `_research` appended to the filename. This is where all thoughts and research for various options have been documented. While you should primarily base your implementation on the provided proposal/implementation doc, the _research is available if you need to scan and understand some of the background.
## Separate PRs
If the implementation plan contains a section that shows separate PRs being made, limit your work to the next PR only. When completed, update the proposal to indicate the PR has been implemented so that next run, you will know to start on the next phase.
## Subagents
When writing code, use the following subagents, in addition to normal agents:
- go-developer: this subagent is used to follow patterns we want for Go code.
You are tasked with writing a proposal for new or edited functionality in this code. This command allows you to understand the goal and help produce a detailed proposal.
## Initial Response
When invoked WITH parameters:
```
I'll help you write a proposal for [summary]. Let's first check if this idea requires a proposal.
```
When invoked WITHOUT parameters:
```
I'll help you think through a new proposal.
Please describe what your goals are:
- What is the desired change?
- Do you have any initial thoughts on how you'd like to implement?
```
## Follow up response
## Subagent use
You SHOULD use the following subagents (and any subagents they recommend) to help the user with their request:
- proposal-needed
- proposal-writer
## Shortcut (tickets and stories)
If the user's request references a ticket or shortcut story, use the shortcut agent to find the story.
Never update the shortcut story with anything. At this time, you should treat Shortcut as a readonly API.
## Follow up instructions from the user
At any time the user may reject your recommendation. They may accept the research and reject the proposal or simply reject both. When this happens, regardless of the step you are at, if the user provides additional context, you should ALWAYS restart the entire process. Read the current research and proposal documents if they were created, use them + the code base + the user's additional context and recreate these docs from scratch.
Include a description of the expected behaviour here.

Thank you for your interest in Troubleshoot, we welcome your participation. There are a number of ways to participate in Troubleshoot as outlined below:
# Community
For discussions about developing Troubleshoot, there's an [#app-troubleshoot channel in Kubernetes Slack](https://kubernetes.slack.com/channels/app-troubleshoot).
## Issues
- [Request a New Feature](https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot/issues/new?assignees=&labels=feature&template=feature_enhancement.md) Create an issue to add functionality that addresses a problem or adds an enhancement.
- [Report a Bug](https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug&template=bug_report.md) Report a problem or unexpected behaviour with Troubleshoot.
## Design Principles
When implementing a new feature please review the [design principles](./docs/design/design-principles.md) to help guide the approach.
## Development Environment
To get started we recommend:
1. Go (v1.24 or later)
2. For cluster-based collectors, you will need access to a Kubernetes cluster
3. Fork and clone repo
4. Run `make clean build` to generate binaries
5. You can now run `./bin/preflight` and/or `./bin/support-bundle` to use the code you've been writing
> Note: to cross-compile a Linux binary from MacOS:
> `GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 make clean build`
### Testing
To run the tests locally run the following:
```bash
make test
make testRUN=TestClusterResources_Merge
```
Additionally, e2e tests can be run with:
```bash
make support-bundle preflight e2e-test
```
A running Kubernetes cluster as well as `jq` are required to run e2e tests.
### Profiling
You are able to collect CPU & memory runtime properties and store the data for analysis in a file. To do so, pass in the file paths using `--cpuprofile` and `--memprofile` flags in the CLI. Once you have your data collected, you can analyse it using [pprof visualization tool](https://github.com/google/pprof/blob/main/doc/README.md). Here is how
Run support bundle and with CPU & memory profile flags
cd longhorn-manager && git checkout v1.2.2 &&cd ..

mv longhorn-manager/k8s/pkg pkg/longhorn
mv longhorn-manager/types pkg/longhorn/types

## Support Bundle
A support bundle is an archive that's created in-cluster, by collecting logs and cluster information, and executing specified commands (including redaction of sensitive information). After creating a support bundle, the cluster operator will normally deliver it to the 3rd-party application vendor for analysis and disconnected debugging. Another Replicated project, [Kotsadm](https://github.com/replicatedhq/kotsadm), provides cluster operators with an in-cluster UI for processing support bundles and viewing analyzers (as well as support bundle collection).

Another Replicated project, [KOTS](https://github.com/replicatedhq/kots), provides k8s apps an in-cluster UI for processing support bundles and viewing analyzers (as well as support bundle collection).
To collect a sample support bundle, install the troubleshoot kubectl plugin:
```shell
```
curl https://krew.sh/support-bundle | bash
```
and run:
```shell
and run, where https://support-bundle.replicated.com provides an **example** support bundle spec:

# Software Bill of Materials
A signed SBOM that includes Troubleshoot dependencies is included in each release.
- **troubleshoot-sbom.tgz** contains a software bill of materials for Troubleshoot.
- **troubleshoot-sbom.tgz.sig** is the digital signature for troubleshoot-sbom.tgz
- **key.pub** is the public key from the key pair used to sign troubleshoot-sbom.tgz
The following example illustrates using [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign) to verify that **troubleshoot-sbom.tgz** has
If you were to get an error similar to the one below, it means you are verifying an SBOM signed using cosign `v1` using a newer `v2` of the binary. This version introduced [breaking changes](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#breaking-changes) which require an additional flag `--insecure-ignore-tlog=true` to successfully verify SBOMs like so.

Folks that have not specified the IP address regex above will, on support bundle creation, share their IP address information in that bundle by default.
When the `preflight` binary, or pacakge, is called, it supports only one spec definition at a time.
Recent changes in Troubleshoot allow the `support-bundle` binary to be called with multiple specs at a time. This allows cluster components to contribute independant Troubleshoot specs for their scope, and have Troubleshoot assemble them at run time.
Tools such as kURL have components which are maintained with a degree of separation to one another. It would be helpful to the maintainers of such projects to be able to call `preflight` specifying a number of specs at runtime, allowing Troubleshoot to assemble them into one spec for collection/analysis.
Currently if the `preflight` binary is called with multiple specs, it simply ignores all after the first.
## Decision
Modify the `preflight` CLI and package to be able to read multiple args rather than just one.
Introduce a merge mechanism in the same way that the `support-bundle` binary runs, to merge and deduplicate Preflight specs.
## Status
Proposed
## Consequences
There are no backward compatibility consequences or breaking changes in this proposal.
The project benefits:
* Folks maintaining kURL add-ons can contribute unique preflight specs for their add-on (and the same for other projects simlarly structured)
* Folks using `preflight` from the CLI without other applications (e.g. for a Helm install) are able to specify a list of preflights for their application rather than having to assemble one spec for each environment.
## Design notes
This proposal does not include adding the `uri:` field to `kind: Preflight`.
The file `cmd/preflight/cli/root.go` calls `preflight.RunPreflights` with `args[0]` which is likely to need to change to just `args`.
Func `RunPreflights` takes a single string arg (`arg string`) for the spec definition. This is likely to need to change to `arg []string`.
File `cmd/troubleshoot/cli/run.go` loops through the list of args, concatenating them together. A similar process is suitable for this change.
Describe the resulting context, after applying the decision. All consequences should be listed here,
not just the "positive" ones. A particular decision may have positive, negative, and neutral consequences,
but all of them affect the team and project in the future.
```
## Tips and Hints
* Titles should be descriptive, concise, and precise
* The whole document should be one or two pages long at most.
* Think of the document as a conversation with a future developer. This means write well and use full
sentences.
* Update consequences as they become known. The ADR becomes like a diary for seeing how the design
decisions we make impact the system over time.
* Include diagrams as necessary.

This document captures design principles that the Troubleshoot project abides by. This is intended to provide new contributors with guidance on how to approach problems and a better understanding of what to consider and address while implementing features.
## Client not Cluster based
Troubleshoot has to communicate with the Kubernetes API server to gather information. However, Troubleshoot should interact with the cluster as little as reasonably possible and has no intention of having a persistent in-cluster presence. There are several reasons for this approach, in no particular order those include:
* Users experiencing an issue in their cluster may discover Troubleshoot after they have a problem and requiring installed components may exclude them from solving their problem.
* A user may have limited cluster access and requiring cluster wide installation like a CRD or Operator can prevent them for using tools to recover from their errors.
* By definition Troubleshoot is being used because there is an issue with the cluster, to prevent exasperating the issue Troubleshoot should avoid writing to the cluster.
## Tools not specs
The Troubleshoot project should include tools which can be used to diagnose issues but is not attempting to include Specs built into the project itself. The number of issues and projects which could benefit from Troubleshoot is very large and we intended to enable those projects to better support their project. It is unreasonable and undesirable for Troubleshoot to be the source of truth for all possible cluster and software issues.
## Fail forward
Clusters with issues can be unpredictable, the scope of error conditions is likely unbounded. Troubleshoot should keep this in mind when doing error handling and fail forward proceeding with as much of the intended operation as possible while logging the errors. For example if a collector fails to collect information that should not prevent other collectors from running. Any condition that causes Troubleshoot to hang or not complete a run is considered a bug.
## Provide a predictable user experience
When things go wrong people can be stressed and stressed people aren't likely to thoroughly read documentation. Whenever possible default values, command line flags, etc should be set to provide a user the best experience possible with the input provided. Some examples of this include:
* When accepting flags for things like Namespaces, as much as possible, use the same syntax that `kubectl` accepts which users are likely to try instinctively.
* Default to gathering more information not less, rarely is it easier to diagnose an issue with less information.
Currently all collectors run sequentially, in the order in which they are specified in the spec. This is implied, and has not been guaranteed. With the addition of the ability to supply multiple specs, the order is no longer predicatble.
Although sequence is not guaranteed for any collectors, #768 ensures that the `clusterResources` collector runs first, so that the list of resources does not include those that are started during the Troubleshoot collection sequence.
The performance for support-bundle and preflight runs is important to the end user experience of the product. There are examples where a support bundle takes multiple minutes to complete, and folks are left wondering if the process has hung or crashed. Preflights that take too long will simply be skipped, which leads to problems with installation being difficult to identify.
## High-Level Design
Switch collectors and host collectors to use goroutines to collect (concurrently). This should run the list of collectors of `clusterResources` type first, then the remainder concurrently when `clusterResources` is complete.
## Detailed Design
Tasks that can be split to separate merges (in order):
* Switch all collectors to use goroutines to collect (concurrently).
* In `supportbundle.runCollectors()`, refactor to use a `go func()` pattern to run all the collectors that are not `clusterResources` concurrently. Check that the first in the list is `clusterResources` and run that separately, prior to the others.
* This task should introduce an optional concurrency limit field, default to, say, 10, which limits the number of goroutines/collectors that can run at any given time.
* This task should improve the collection speed of in-cluster collectors and preflights
* Switch Host Collectors to use goroutines for concurrent collection.
* In `supportbundle.runHostCollectors()`, refactor to use a `go func()` pattern for each collector.
* No need to honor the same concurrency limit as host collectors do not load the Kubernetes API
* Switch Host Preflights to use goroutines - `preflight.CollectHost()` runs `go func()` for each collector.
* Switch in-cluster Preflights to use goroutines - `preflight.Collect()` runs `go func()` for each collector.
* Ensure `clusterResources` runs in advance of the others so that pods started by collectors do not produce an error in the results.
## Limitations
Relies on splitting up the list of collectors into `clusterResources` and others.
Collisions between specs (e.g. if `runPod` has multiple specs with the same name) are not handled. At the current stage with collectors running sequentially, if two collectors write to the same file the second overwrites the data from the first. If collectors run concurrently, there can be issues creating multiple pods with the same name, and issues with concurrent access to the target file. This issue is tracked in [#895](https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot/issues/895)
This proposal excludes Remote Collectors.
## Assumptions
* The Kubernetes API can handle the load of collectors running concurrently, including when the pod logs collector runs.
## Testing
Any new function will need unit tests.
The existing Collect functions will need unit tests altered (or added).
We will need to ensure that `clusterResources` is collected prior to others.
## Documentation
There should be a note in https://troubleshoot.sh/docs/collect/ ensuring that folks do not expect the collectors to run in any particular order.
Improve consistency between preflight and support-bundle.
## Non Goals
## Background
In the current Troubleshoot code base, there are three separate paths to running collectors. These include preflights, support-bundle, and the collect package. The three have diverged over time and are different to one another, but do not appear to have any need to be separate. This is confusing and likely to introduce errors in the future.
## High-Level Design
* Add a `collect` package public API that can be called to run the collect logic, from any other package
* change the preflight, support-bundle and collect binaries to call that API rather than their own collect routines
## Detailed Design
Package `preflight`:
* Remove `CollectHost`, `Collect` and `CollectRemote`
Package `supportbundle`:
* Remove `runCollectors`, `CollectSupportBundleFromSpec`, and associated code
Package `collect`:
* Add a replacement for `runCollectors`, `CollectSupportBundleFromSpec` taken from `supportbundle`
* Add replacements for `CollectHost`, `Collect` and `CollectRemote` taken from `preflight`
* Where the above duplicate functionality, alter the `supportbundle` or `preflight` packages to ensure that a single new function handles the requirement
CLI packages:
* Alter to use the public functions from `collect`
## Limitations
Breaking change - KOTS at least imports `CollectSupportBundleFromSpec` plus potentially others.
This does not affect the analysis and redaction portions of code.
## Assumptions
* there is no need to run collectors differently between preflight and support-bundle
## Testing
Any new function will need unit tests.
Existing tests will need to be altered, and possibly consolidated.
## Documentation
The public function to call collection should be documented and at that point regarded stable.
## Alternatives Considered
## Security Considerations
None identified.
## Related changes
TODO:
* make an API for analyze and redact
* create an API that calls collect, redact, and analyze - and decide if that can be called by preflight and support-bundle
# Provide the ability to specify multiple Troubleshoot specs in one run of support-bundle or preflight
Troubleshoot doesn't have a modular way for different components to specify specifications. If a software project wanted to include project specific items the end user would have a hard time knowing where to find those and how to collect them. Furthermore if multiple projects were to do this the user would have to run troubleshoot multiple times.
Ideally troubleshoot would allow merging of specs to allow building a spec either automatically or influenced by user input to target specific needs.
## Goals
Primary goal: Allow folks that develop a particular component to maintain Troubleshoot specs for that component, including Vendors for their application.
Long term goal: allow folks to update the component specs without needing to run any other upgrades.
This proposal initially adds the ability to supply multiple support bundle specs for a single run of support-bundle and/or preflight so that:
* when Troubleshoot runs, the spec it uses is an aggregate of multiple specs from the same source - yaml file, URL, configMap, or (new) CRD
* each software component can contribute a Troubleshoot spec that is specific to that software
* Ownership of each individual spec per component transfers to the owner of that component
This will:
* Ensure support bundles generated by users are comprehensive and contain all needed information for a project maintainer to action
* Allow multiple specs from different projects, should a cluster have multiple projects using Troubleshoot
* Software developers to continually update specs for components to easily identify known issues and reduce support noise.
## Non Goals
* Compatibility with previous URL, configMap and yaml specs, both Redactors and SupportBundle types
* Maintain the ability to read secrets from the Kubernetes API
## Background
When users of Troubleshoot create a support bundle from the CLI, they use a single spec that is provided from:
* A secret installed in the cluster by an application such as [KOTS](kots.io)
* A url like <http://kots.io>
* some other single example spec, e.g. <https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot-specs>
When KOTS collects a support bundles from the KOTS UI, the spec is a [merged](https://github.com/replicatedhq/kots/blob/main/pkg/supportbundle/spec.go#L426) combination of the following:
* The [default spec](https://github.com/replicatedhq/kots/blob/main/pkg/supportbundle/defaultspec/spec.yaml) in the kots code
* The spec provided by the Vendor’s application bundle
* This merged spec is deduplicated by kots [here](https://github.com/replicatedhq/kots/blob/main/pkg/supportbundle/spec.go#L217).
Redactors are [hard coded](https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot/blob/main/pkg/redact/redact.go#L160) into Troubleshoot as well as supplied in the spec.
Although we’re currently making strides in improving the Troubleshoot project by creating new collectors, analyzers, and specs, we have no way to more quickly deliver Troubleshoot improvements to installations in the field without updating the kots application and pushing a new release, or upgrading kots to a new version.
When folks find a support issue that could have been identified by Troubleshoot, we ask them to write a new collector, and/or analyzer, for that information. However, if we do that, the new collector/analyzer is not easily available to end users.
Some of the useful features of Troubleshoot are actually implemented as part of KOTS, while both open source Troubleshoot should address this independently.
## High-Level Design
Add CRD support to Troubleshoot:
* Design a custom resource (CRD) that allows adding spec(s) to the Kubernetes cluster using `kubectl`. There is no need to extend this to use [API server aggregation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/custom-resources/#api-server-aggregation).
* Update Troubleshoot to allow consuming the first object found of the new custom resource, by default - i.e. if there are no specs provided on the CLI or entrypoint, use CRD
* Once merge is implemented, update Troubleshoot to consume and merge all the instances of the CRD.
* To minimize code changes in Troubleshoot, we could implement two CRDs, of `type: SupportBundle` and `type: Redactor`. However, there is no specific need to separate the two and it maybe advantageous to keep things simple, combining them.
Allow multiple specs to be merged by Troubleshoot:
* create an interface for collectors, analyzers, and redactors to merge
* each collector/analyzer/redactor can use a generic implementation of the interface for the merge, or can use a specific one for that task if that particular collector will benefit from a more intelligent merge.
* the spec merge code in kots can, at this stage, be removed once kots ships CRDs for the Troubleshoot specs
Spec sources:
* Alter Troubleshoot to accept multiple yaml files on the CLI
* Create a CRD containing a spec, have Troubleshoot search for spec CRDs and combine them all when run
* maintain the URL compatibility as is
* maintain the configMap compatibility as is
## Detailed Design
CRD: to be designed
Merge:
* define a new interface that provides the merge functionality for collectors, analyzers, and redactors
* there should be a generic implementation of that interface which is used by default for all objects. This can simply use `append()`.
* specific collectors may have alternative implementations of the interface where overrides are required.
Particular overrides known at this point in time:
* clusterResources has an option namespaces config, these should be merged and deduplicated
* Two runPod collectors with the same name and different commands are unmergable. Only one should be run and an error logged.
* Two configMap collectors can be deduplicated and merged depending on the configurations
* Two logs collectors likely only need deduplication to prevent collecting the same thing twice
## Limitations
### Visibility
Users may collect more than intended with the new implementation if all available CRD objects are run. We therefore need to be sure the Troubleshoot client allows for selection of what to run. While the default would be to run everything, a user should be able to just run specific SupportBundle specs based on labels, namespaces, etc. By doing this no functionality is lost.
### Airgap
Some of the spec locations such as URL wouldn’t work here. There may be other considerations around airgap as well.
Airgap installs are intentionally feature limited. Failure to retrieve new versions of specs should fail gracefully and proceed with the run.
As a follow up feature to improve support bundle collection Troubleshoot could gain some abilities to help manage and upgrade SupportBundles found in a cluster in a fashion that allows the user to split the discovery, download, and upgrade so they could be run on different machines.
An example implementation would be:
* A command to find, deduplicate, and output a list of SupportBundles in the cluster. The list would include at least the upstream URL and version currently installed in the cluster.
* A command to take the output of the above command and check for updates, downloading all updated SupportBundles into a single .tgz file.
* A command to apply the above .tgz file to the cluster upgrading any existing SupportBundles with the newer versions.
## Assumptions
* all deployments are able to deploy CRDs to the Kubernetes cluster
## Testing
## Alternatives Considered
### Use the existing URL functionality in Troubleshoot
Proposal: Provide a custom URL for each install, that when called by Troubleshoot returns a spec composed of the ‘latest’ for every component spec specified in that installation, much like we do with <https://kurl.sh/latest> now.
Pros:
* No changes required to Troubleshoot
* Always use the latest specs for components other than the Vendor’s application
Cons:
* Would not work for airgap installations
* Software developers need to update their application in order to get new specs from all dependencies
* Replicated would need to provide a new API/web service to host the specs, reducing the general community applicability of troubleshoot as a stand alone project
* Discourages individual projects from maintaining Troubleshoot specs for that project
## Security Considerations
Passing control of component specs to individual projects presents a possibility of reducing the amount of review a spec goes through for each update, allowing a spec provided by, say, a kURL addon to run collectors. The current implementation relies on the kots review process for default specs, plus the review of individual example specs. Depending on the final implementation, it is unlikely that this change itself increases any risk since the delivery of automated and default specs to Troubleshoot is maintained within kots, and/or Troubleshoot itself much as it is already.
Make sbctl easier to maintain by consolidating code bases.
Reduce code duplication.
Improve end-user experience and improve discoverability of sbctl.
## Non Goals
## Background
sbctl is our command line tool for examining K8s resources inside of Support Bundles generated by our troubleshoot project. With both projects having separate code bases we see the following problems:
* Most users are familiar with the binaries from troubleshoot (support-bundle, preflight, etc.), but are unaware of the existince of sbctl because it's a separate project
* sbctl and troubleshoot are naturally coupled together due to sbctl's reliance on support bundles to operate. Them being in separate repos leads to duplication of code in both projects increasing maintenance burden.
## High-Level Design
Because the functionality of sbctl and Troubleshoot are so tightly coupled together, they should live in the same repository. Moreover, as opposed to maintaing a separate binary for sbctl, all sbctl commands should become subcommands of `support-bundle`
## Detailed Design
The `serve` and `shell` commands become subcommands of the `support-bundle` CLI.
```
./bin/support-bundle --help
A support bundle is an archive of files, output, metrics and state
from a server that can be used to assist when troubleshooting a Kubernetes cluster.
Usage:
support-bundle [url] [flags]
support-bundle [command]
Available Commands:
analyze analyze a support bundle
serve Start API server
shell Start interractive shell
completion Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
...
```
Similiar to the [Analyze](https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot/blob/main/cmd/troubleshoot/cli/analyze.go) subcommand, we add `serve.go` and `shell.go` to `cmd/troubleshoot/cli`
### Standardize Cluster Resources Collector
* In `pkg/collect` standardize the root directory location of the Cluster Resources collector with a variable instead of repeatedly specifying it as a string - https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot/blob/main/pkg/collect/cluster_resources.go#L121.
* Import the directory the Cluster Resources collector uses from `pkg/collect` for usage in the APIs - https://github.com/replicatedhq/sbctl/blob/main/pkg/api/server.go#L220. This is an example of the way we can start making the sbctl code more efficient with this change.
tests # API tests, integration tests etc reside here.
serve/ # sbctl BDD tests.
# all tests and test fixtures moved here
```
### Makefile Changes
We'll need to add make targets specific to these commands similar to the current ones
```
make serve run-serve
make shell run-shell
make ginkgo
```
### Docs
In troubleshoot.sh docs, add a new sub section under "Support Bundle" describing then new serve & shell subcommands.
### Other Changes
We would need to merge some of the support bundle functionality we see in both projects like so
- Create a new sbutil module to store reusable support bundle functionality. At least `analyze` & `serve` modules will depend on this module
```
pkg
sbutil/
```
- Merge `troubleshoot/pkg/analyze/download.ExtractTroubleshootBundle` & `sbctl/pkg/sbctl/support-bundle.ExtractBundle` that duplicate support bundle archive extraction
- Build on `sbctl/pkg/sbctl/support-bundle.ClusterData` to have it expose well known paths (ClusterResourcesDir, Version files, analysis results etc) and unmarshalled resources (this bit can be built on a need to have basis) in a support bundle especially once [Add generic kubernetes resource analyzer #780 PR](https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot/pull/780) is merged.
- Build on `sbctl/pkg/sbctl/support-bundle.FindClusterData` to perform pre-validation of a support bundle to ensure it is valid before running any applications.
## Limitations
## Assumptions
## Testing
We will need to have a separate directory for sbctl (ginkgo BDD) tests. The test harness used is ginkgo cli instead of go test and there is no straight forward way of separating these tests. Also, from a directory structure point of view, such integration tests usually reside in modules in a root level tests directory. Changes to the test code need to be minimal, ideally no change, cause they will be used to ensure any refactored code does not break. We could now easily introduce tests which ensure that changes to collectors don't break APIs in sbctl.
## Alternatives Considered
* Have troubleshoot as a library dependency in sbctl keeping it as a separate binary and repo
* Move sbctl to the Troubleshoot library "as is" and continue maintaing a separate binary
# Provide an extendable API for accessing bundle information
## Goals
* Provide API based access to collected information, decoupling other projects from troubleshoot on-disk format
* Reuse existing APIs when they exist to make the bundle compatible with existing tools without modification
* Plan for extensibility for accessing information beyond just the standard kubernetes api
## Non Goals
* Compatibility with previous on-disk formats
* Compatibility with existing collectors without modification
* There should be a plan to allow the implementation of existing collectors
## Background
While using the information gathered in a support bundle users were finding it hard to find information while manually reviewing the various files collected in the bundle. Users have to understand the folder structure, files structure, and process JSON files to find information about the cluster. The [sbctl](https://github.com/replicatedhq/sbctl) project was created to prove out the utility of providing api based access so that users could use existing tools which they already understood. This has been a very successful experiment with feedback being that most users now use this utility as their primary, or only, interface to the support bundle information.
There are some drawbacks to the current approach. The `sbctl` project is tightly coupled to troubleshoot on-disk formats, each kubernetes API must be implemented in `sbctl` individually and will require being kept up to date as APIs change, and `sbctl` has no plan today to provide similar API based access to information other than the standard kubernetes api.
This proposal is meant to take the learnings from `sbctl` and consider implementing it as a first class feature of troubleshoot while attempting to address the current maintenance and expandability limitations.
## High-Level Design
To help address standard access to API data, troubleshoot will start an etcd instance which collectors can then use to store collected information rather than writing to custom on-disk locations. Collectors that only need to collect Kubernetes API information then do not need to serve up data as the API server will be used to provide access to the collected data. Storing data directly in etcd will allow troubleshoot to later serve up this same information by again starting an api-server and etcd using the previously collected etcd data store. This should remove almost all maintenance from troubleshoot for implementing API calls to access the collected information.
There will also be information that is desired to be stored that doesn't have any native representation in the api-server today. Examples could include custom collectors which execute into containers and extensions like [metrics server](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/metrics-server). These components can be addressed using the built in [Kubernetes API Aggregation Layer](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/apiserver-aggregation/) which is how `metrics server` itself works to extend and provide api based access to node information. By registering additional API extensions troubleshoot plugins can implement both a collection and an API for retrieving custom information which is accessible in the same fashion as the rest of the api-server.
The additional benefit to this, which can be demonstrated with `metrics-server`, is that collectors can be written for any other extension API and be compatible with existing tools the same way using the api-server provides compatibility with `kubectl`. Using `metrics-server` as an example, a collector can be written to collect node information which can be stored locally. The collector can then implement the standard [GET Endpoints](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/apiserver-aggregation/) from the metrics-server and reply to them with the results it collected. By doing so, all tools that work with metrics-server today, like `kubectl top` will also work with information served from a support bundle. Additionally, the collector implementation handles any custom file formats without exposing that to any other tool making it easy to maintain.
Any other access to the filesystem directly will be modified to instead use the provided api-server. This means analyzers will not directly reference files on disk and will instead run against the api-server to analyze the collected information. This decouples analyzers from how collectors store data providing clean separation of concerns for maintaining both collectors and analyzers. Decoupling these also creates a natural way to implement analyzers that use data from multiple collectors. This could also allow analyzers to run against existing clusters providing a use for analyzers independent of support bundle collection. This could encourage additional community contributions of analyzers.
An initially unintended benefit of using the Aggregation Layer is that any HostCollector using this implementation would be very close to an implementation of an extension which you could install in clusters. This could make HostCollectors also useful to install as a service in a live cluster for operations information about hosts.
## Detailed Design
### Outstanding design questions
1. How reasonable is it to start an api-server as part of troubleshoot? Consider the following known implementations that do something like this:
* [envtest](https://pkg.go.dev/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/envtest) - requires binaries present on the machine
* [k0s uses upstream binaries statically compiled](https://docs.k0sproject.io/v1.23.8+k0s.0/architecture/) - bundles statically compiled binaries that self extract and uses a process monitor to run them
2. Can you in fact push metadata like "Status" into an api-server or do we have to write directly to etcd?
* If we can't push to the api-server is just writing the information directly into etcd something we can do and have a reasonable expectation of compatibility?
3. Is the overhead to write an Aggregation API going to add an unnecessary burden to writing new collector plugins? Can these be templated into a reasonably to ease collector creation?
## Limitations
Using the actual API server will provide limitations on the version skew which can be collected/displayed. This could be addressed by including multiple versions of the kubernetes-api server to allow serving a wide range of support bundles. This limitation likely already exists today but would exist in the tooling that is trying to collect, analyzer, or server the data.
## Assumptions
* Serving logs hasn't been designed yet, and presumably can be addressed in the detailed design to provide logs to the api-server in place of kubelet. Ideally this can be done using the standard upstream kubernetes-api server it is undesirable to fork it.
* Running the api-server, etcd, and any other supporting services (like kubelet) as go routines while adding some overhead to the collection process won't cause a significant burden on ram or cpu to collect support bundles.
## Testing
## Alternatives Considered
### Keep sbctl separate
The current `sbctl` project could be left to run it's course independent of this project. This leaves the troubleshoot project reliant on a separate project to provide a good user experience for anything other than analyzers.
## Security Considerations
Consideration to how Redactors are implemented needs to be considered.

# Provide a facility to automatically obtain updated specs
## Background
Troubleshoot is limited in that when folks write an update or a new spec for data collection and analysis, that upgrade is not available when Troubleshoot is invoked if specs for it are stored in a secret or a file which was deployed by an application. Updating the local spec is simple enough, but may require an upgrade to the application (e.g. KOTS) in order to collect updates to the spec supplied by that application. This update requirement delays folks from accessing updated Troubleshoot specs and therefore discourages people from writing new/updated specs.
## Goals
* Provide a means for a spec to optionally specify a location for a spec that can replace it if successfully reached.
## Other requirements
* Maintain the ability for Troubleshoot to run in an airgapped environment, though with some feature limitations.
* Maintain compatilbility with existing Troubleshoot specs.
## High-Level Design
Add a new field to the Troubleshoot spec definition, which includes a URI used to locate a replacement spec.
If the field is populated, Troubleshoot is to attempt to collect the spec from the location provided, and if successful, ignore the remainder of the spec provided and use the spec listed in the new field.
If the additional spec is not found at the location (or, if there is no network access to that location), Troubleshoot is to continue processing the remainder of the spec provided, with a log message describing the failure to process the URI.
Add a CLI flag (e.g. `--no-updates`) to disable the URI specified location from being accessed. This would be useful in airgap environments and/or when we simply do not want to have the external spec used, without having to update the yaml, secret, or remote source.
URI's provided may be any of the URI types already accepted by Troubleshoot, including web addresses (https://), secrets, or files.
## Detailed Design
Current spec format is like this example:
```yaml
apiVersion: troubleshoot.sh/v1beta2
kind: SupportBundle
metadata:
name: default
spec:
collectors:
- clusterInfo: {}
- clusterResources: {}
analyzers:
- cephStatus: {}
- longhorn: {}
```
We could add a new type, `specURI`, which contains one or more URIs from which to obtain specs. If the spec is retrieved successfully then the remainder of the provided spec is ignored, and replaced with the one downloaded:
When a spec is parsed from the initial call to Troubleshoot, the content should be read and if a `specURI` exists which is not blank, the code should attempt to download that URI. Should that be successful, the collectors and analyzers sections of the downloaded content should be used to replace the remainder of the spec provided via the initial call.
## Impact on kURL and KOTS
This section is included because KOTS is a significant consumer of the Troubleshoot codebase, and as such deserves consideration when significant changes are made.
The code changes proposed in this document do not require any changes to kURL or KOTS, and any changes to those repos are excluded from the scope of work described here. The following notes are suggestions for how the kURL and KOTS repos could benefit from the changes in this document, and could relate to any project which calls Troubleshoot or includes Troubleshoot specs.
For kURL, each component/addon installed could include adding an individual spec with a URI pointing at a specific spec for that component, which could be updated independently of other components. Invoking troubleshoot with all the individual specs required would allow updated specs to be collected without needing to upgrade any particular component in the cluster.
KOTS currently provides a spec to Troubleshoot which is a merge of a default spec provided by the KOTS codebase, and the spec provided by an application vendor. Should either of those provide a URI, that would mean the downloaded spec would replace the entire spec. This is undesirable since the URI would need to contain the application vendor's updated spec as well as the generic cluster-wide collectors and analyzers, which is a significant maintenance challenge. To resolve this, it is desirable that the following is completed before KOTS uses the URI field:
* Troubleshoot should accept multiple specs (see #650)
* KOTS would need to be modified to provide the application vendor and the default specs independently of one another.
## Limitations
Redactors are currently excluded from this proposal, though it would be desirable to add a similar feature in the future.
If a URI provided includes a spec which includes another URI, it is possible to get into some kind of recursion if the downloaded spec contains another URI. For this reason, and to ensure that the results are predictable, we should only parse the URI field once per spec for specs passed to Troubleshoot on initiation via the CLI or entrypoint.
## Assumptions
## Testing
## Alternatives Considered
* Some mechanism to trigger a process to update secrets stored in Kubernetes. This was rejected due to the need to run a manual update spec for something installed in the cluster.
* Altering KOTS to provide a URL for the spec rather than storing it in code. This was rejected to allow airgap compatibility.
## Security Considerations
This change will make additional network calls with default usage of Troubleshoot. To ensure a user has control of limiting these calls an argument to disable this feature entirely will be provided. This allows users with different security postures to select what's appropriate for their environment.
