CI Tool Investigation

Overview

Klaudia's CI Tool enables intelligent investigation and troubleshooting of deployment-related issues by correlating Kubernetes events with CI/CD pipeline data. When applications experience issues following deployments, Klaudia can trace back to the specific build, code changes, and pipeline execution that produced the problematic artifact, providing comprehensive root cause analysis.

Understanding what changed is critical to effective troubleshooting. Klaudia bridges the gap between "what's broken in production" and "what changed in the last deployment" by automatically querying your CI system during investigations. This correlation helps identify whether issues stem from code changes, build configuration problems, or deployment process failures.

Supported Tools

What Klaudia Can Do

General Capabilities

• Build Correlation: Link Kubernetes deployments to specific CI builds
• Change Tracking: Identify code commits included in problematic releases
• Build Log Analysis: Examine build logs for warnings and configuration issues
• Artifact Verification: Validate deployed artifacts match build outputs
• Pipeline Investigation: Analyze pipeline stage failures and timing

Jenkins

• Retrieve build details for deployments causing issues
• Analyze console output for build warnings and errors
• Identify code changes (commits, authors) in specific builds
• Examine build parameters and environment variables
• Correlate test results with production failures
• Investigate failed builds and their impact on deployments

When Klaudia Uses CI Tool - Usage Examples

Klaudia automatically engages CI investigation tools in the following scenarios:

Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

When deployment-related issues may trace back to build problems:

• Application failures starting immediately after deployment
• Configuration mismatches between environments
• Missing dependencies or incorrect artifact versions

Troubleshooting Unhealthy Resources

When investigating pods that fail after deployment:

• Pods in CrashLoopBackOff with new image versions
• Container image pull errors or invalid manifests
• Runtime errors suggesting build misconfiguration

Chat Sessions

When you ask Klaudia questions about deployments and builds:

• "What changed in the last deployment?"
• "What commits were included in build #147?"
• "Did the Jenkins build show any warnings?"
