Does this skill require gcloud authentication?

No, because the OpenShift test-platform-results bucket is publicly accessible, gcloud authentication is optional for read access.

What input does the skill require?

You only need to provide the full Prow job URL from the OpenShift CI dashboard containing the 'test-platform-results' path.

Can it handle bare metal installation failures?

Yes, if the skill detects a 'metal' job type, it automatically invokes the specialized prow-job-analyze-metal-install-failure skill for deeper analysis.

Does the skill analyze deprovision logs?

No, the skill specifically excludes deprovision logs to focus only on artifacts relevant to the installation failure itself.

What happens if the junit_install.xml file is missing?

The skill will attempt to continue analysis using the available installer logs, though it may be less precise in identifying the specific failure stage.

Deployment & DevOps

Analyzes OpenShift installation failures in Prow CI jobs by automatically downloading and examining installer logs, bundles, and reports.

This skill automates the complex process of debugging OpenShift CI failures by retrieving and analyzing critical artifacts from Google Cloud Storage. It intelligently parses JUnit XML files to identify failure stages such as bootstrap, infrastructure, or cluster operator stability, and handles specialized configurations including FIPS, IPv6, and Upgrade jobs. By providing a structured diagnostic workflow and integrating with metal-specific tools, it helps developers quickly pinpoint root causes in failed 'install should succeed' tests without manual log hunting.

Key Features

01Automated retrieval of installer logs and log bundles from GCS

02Support for diverse job types including FIPS, IPv6, and Upgrade paths

03Intelligent failure stage identification (bootstrap, infrastructure, stability)

04Automatic extraction of build IDs and targets from Prow URLs

0529 GitHub stars

06Seamless integration with specialized metal installation analysis

Use Cases

01Investigating operator stability issues during complex OpenShift upgrade tests

02Debugging a 'cluster bootstrap' failure in a cloud-based CI environment

03Identifying root causes for infrastructure-related timeouts in GCP or Azure
