We Built a Tool to Diagnose ScyllaDB Kubernetes Issues

Scylla Operator Analyze is a Go-based command-line tool developed to assist platform engineers and administrators in deploying ScyllaDB clusters on Kubernetes by diagnosing potential issues and misconfigurations. As modern infrastructure management increasingly relies on Kubernetes for container orchestration, debugging complex deployments, particularly in high-performance environments like those using ScyllaDB, presents challenges. Scylla Operator Analyze addresses these by automatically inspecting Kubernetes deployments and reporting identified problems, offering actionable diagnostics. It supports both live cluster connections and archive-based analysis using the must-gather utility. The tool uses symptoms, high-level objects representing potential deployment issues, and selectors to analyze conditions within the deployment. Diagnoses generated include issue descriptions, related resource identifiers, and user hints, aiming to streamline problem-solving for ScyllaDB deployments on Kubernetes.
