Diagnostic Commands

Quick Health Checks

# Check all container statuses
docker ps -a --format "table {{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}"

# Check unhealthy containers
docker ps --filter "health=unhealthy" --format "{{.Names}}"

# Check container logs for errors
docker-compose logs --tail=100 | grep -i error

# Check resource usage summary
docker stats --no-stream --format "table {{.Name}}\t{{.CPUPerc}}\t{{.MemPerc}}"

# Check service endpoints

Best Practices

1. Regular Monitoring

   • Check service health every 30 seconds
   • Monitor resource usage continuously
   • Review logs daily for errors
   • Track performance trends

2. Proactive Alerts

   • Set thresholds before critical levels
   • Alert on degraded performance
   • Monitor error rates
   • Track service dependencies

3. Historical Data

   • Retain metrics for 30 days
   • Analyze trends over time
   • Identify recurring issues
   • Plan capacity upgrades

4. Documentation

   • Document health check endpoints
   • Maintain runbooks for common issues
   • Track incident responses
   • Update monitoring as services change

5. Automation

   • Auto-restart unhealthy services
   • Scale based on metrics
   • Generate daily health reports
   • Alert on anomalies

Tool Usage Guidelines

• Bash: Execute health checks, monitoring scripts
• Read: Read service logs, configurations
• Grep: Search logs for errors, patterns
• Glob: Find all service health check files

Output Format

When reporting health status, provide:

1. Overall Health: Summary of all services
2. Failed Services: List of unhealthy services
3. Resource Usage: CPU, RAM, VRAM metrics
4. Recent Issues: Errors from logs
5. Recommendations: Suggested actions
6. Trends: Performance over time

Always provide actionable insights and clear next steps for addressing issues.
