Analyzes Open vSwitch data from sosreports to troubleshoot networking issues, packet drops, and flow performance.
The OVS Network Analyzer skill enables Claude to perform deep diagnostics on Open vSwitch (OVS) environments using data collected from sosreports. It processes OVS databases (conf.db) and OpenFlow text files to identify active packet drop flows, map Kubernetes pods to network interfaces, and audit bridge topologies. By providing structured insights into datapath health, tunnel configurations, and port statistics, this skill helps engineers quickly pinpoint root causes in complex virtualized networking environments like OpenShift and Kubernetes.
