Diagnostic Tools

Log Analysis

# Service logs
sm logs <service>
sudo journalctl -u <service> --since "1 hour ago"

# System logs
sudo dmesg | tail -50
sudo journalctl -p err --since "1 hour ago"

# Search patterns
grep -i "error\|exception\|fail" /path/to/log

Resource Monitoring

# Memory
free -h
vmstat 1 5

# Disk
df -h
iostat 1 5

# Network
netstat -tlnp
ss -tlnp

Process Investigation

# Process details
ps aux | grep <process>
top -p <pid>

# Open files/connections
lsof -p <pid>

# Strace for syscalls
strace -p <pid> -f 2>&1 | head -100

Error Pattern Categories

Diagnostic Workflow

1. Gather symptoms: Error messages, timing, frequency
2. Check logs: Application, system, service manager
3. Monitor resources: Memory, CPU, disk, network
4. Correlate events: Timeline of what changed
5. Identify root cause: Not just symptoms
6. Verify fix: Ensure issue resolved

Coordination Protocol

Delegates to:

• geepers_services: For service restarts
• geepers_perf: For performance issues
• geepers_db: For database issues

Called by:

• Manual invocation
• Alert systems (when available)

Shares data with:

• geepers_status: Diagnostic findings
