alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis

Skill Name: alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis Goal: Perform SysOM deep OS-level diagnosis on Alibaba Cloud lingjun node, with optional DingTalk alert configuration.

Not supported by this skill: node enrollment / Agent installation (aliyun sysom install-agent). If the user asks for it, state plainly that this skill does not support enrollment and stop — do NOT substitute CloudMonitor (CMS/CMS2) or any other product's API.

---

Credential Security

[CRITICAL] Credential Security Rules:

• NEVER print, echo, or display AccessKey ID / AccessKey Secret values in conversation or command output (even partial masking of LTAI_ACCESS_KEY_ID is FORBIDDEN)
• NEVER ask the user to input AK/SK directly in the conversation or command line
• NEVER use aliyun configure set with literal credential values
• ONLY use aliyun configure list to check credential status

aliyun configure list

Check the output for a valid profile (AK, STS, or OAuth identity).

If no valid profile exists, STOP here.

1. Obtain credentials from Alibaba Cloud Console
2. Configure credentials outside of this session (via aliyun configure in terminal or environment variables in shell profile)
3. Return and re-run after aliyun configure list shows a valid profile

---

Observability

Every OpenAPI call made by this skill — whether through the aliyun CLI or the Python SDK — MUST carry a User-Agent that identifies both the skill and the current session, so that calls can be traced and audited.

UA Template

--user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis/{session-id}

Replace {session-id} with the session identifier generated for the current session. Example:

aliyun sysom get-diagnosis-result --task-id  \
  --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis/3f9a1c2b4d5e6f708192a3b4c5d6e7f8

session-id Generation Rule

Generate it with:

SKILL_SESSION_ID=$(python3 -c "import uuid; print(uuid.uuid4().hex)")

Commands That MUST NOT Carry --user-agent

Local/system CLI commands do not issue OpenAPI requests and MUST NOT be given the --user-agent flag:

• aliyun version
• aliyun configure list / aliyun configure set ...
• aliyun plugin update / aliyun plugin install ...

⚠️ Adding --user-agent to these commands is incorrect and may cause the command to fail with an unknown-flag error.

---

RAM Policy

For the full list of RAM permissions required by this skill, see references/ram-policies.md.

[MUST] Permission Failure Handling: When any command or API call fails due to permission errors at any point during execution, follow this process:

1. Read references/ram-policies.md to get the full list of permissions required by this SKILL
2. Use ram-permission-diagnose skill to guide the user through requesting the necessary permissions
3. Pause and wait until the user confirms that the required permissions have been granted

---

Parameters

IMPORTANT: Do NOT interrogate the user about the diagnosis. Once region and instance_id are known, start the diagnosis directly — do NOT ask the user to confirm parameters, diagnosis mode, or the workflow before running it.

• Only region and instance_id are blocking: if either is missing from the request, ask for it explicitly (one question, no extra confirmation round)
• All optional parameters below are derived from the user's description; never invent an instance_id or a region
• [MUST] region and instance_id can come ONLY from the user. It is FORBIDDEN to substitute any of the following for a missing region:
  • the default region of the CLI profile (the Region column of aliyun configure list)
  • the ALIBABA_CLOUD_REGION_ID / REGION environment variable
  • a guess derived from the node ID (e01-cn-... identifies neither the region nor the zone)
  A silently substituted region points the diagnosis at the wrong resource, so "ask the user, then wait" is the only permitted behavior — asking and continuing in the same turn with an assumed value does NOT count as asking.
• Report the parameters actually used together with the diagnosis result, instead of asking for approval beforehand

---

Core Workflow

The workflow has three phases with 13 steps (Step 0–12). All aliyun CLI commands that call OpenAPI MUST include the UA declared in the Observability section; local/system commands MUST NOT.

Phase 1: Environment Setup (Steps 0–3)

Step 0 — Initialize session-id and Update Plugins Before executing any CLI commands, generate the session-id for this session (see Observability) and update plugins:

SKILL_SESSION_ID=$(python3 -c "import uuid; print(uuid.uuid4().hex)")
aliyun plugin update

⚠️ The session-id must be generated once at the very beginning and reused unchanged for every OpenAPI call in this session (CLI --user-agent and SDK scripts alike).

Step 1 — CLI Version Check

aliyun version

Verify version >= 3.3.1. If not met, refer to references/cli-installation-guide.md for installation.

Step 2 — Enable Auto Plugin Installation

aliyun configure set --auto-plugin-install true

Step 3 — Credential Verification

aliyun configure list

If no valid credentials exist, STOP and guide the user to configure credentials outside the session.

---

Phase 2: Diagnosis Execution (Steps 4–9)

For detailed workflow, see references/diagnose-workflow.md.

Step 4 — Parameter Collection (No Confirmation Round)

region and instance_id are the only blocking inputs. The instance_id must be a lingjun node ID (e01-cn-xxxxx). If either is missing from the user's request, ask for it explicitly; once both are known, go straight to Step 5 — do NOT ask the user to confirm the parameters or to approve starting the diagnosis. Also extract optional ocd_description (must be translated to English) and the time range from the description.

⛔ Missing region is a hard stop, not a default-value problem. When the user did not state a region:

1. Ask one explicit question (e.g. Which region is this node in? For example cn-hangzhou / cn-beijing / cn-wulanchabu) and stop the turn there
2. Do NOT run Step 5 / Step 7 / Step 8 with a region taken from the CLI profile default, from an environment variable, or guessed from the node ID — that is the same class of error as inventing an instance_id
3. Resume at Step 5 only after the user has supplied the region

Telling the user afterwards which region you assumed does not repair this — the question must come first.

⚠️ Time Inference Rule: When the user's description contains any temporal reference (e.g., "this morning", "yesterday afternoon", "around 3pm", "last night"), infer the concrete time range yourself and run historical diagnosis mode — do NOT stop to ask for it, and do NOT silently fall back to real-time diagnosis. State the inferred range together with the result.

Step 5 — Cloud Assistant Online Check

aliyun ecs describe-cloud-assistant-status --biz-region-id  --instance-id  --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis/{session-id}

Note: This check uses the ECS Cloud Assistant API — pass the lingjun node ID (e01-cn-xxxxx) as --instance-id.

Check the CloudAssistantStatus field in the response:

• "true" → Cloud Assistant is online, proceed to Step 6
• "false" → Cloud Assistant is offline, inform the user and terminate the pipeline
• Call failed (e.g. 403 Forbidden.RAM on ecs:DescribeCloudAssistantStatus, aliyun-cli-ecs plugin unavailable, or any other error) → tell the user the Cloud Assistant pre-check was skipped, then continue to Step 6

⚠️ This is a non-fatal pre-check. Only an explicit "false" terminates the pipeline. A failed call MUST NOT terminate it — the real capability gates are Step 7 (check-instance-support) and Step 8 (invoke-diagnosis), which will surface a Cloud Assistant problem on their own.

Step 6 — SysOM Role Initialization

aliyun sysom initial-sysom --check-only false --source aes-skills --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis/{session-id}

Step 7 — Instance Support Check

aliyun sysom check-instance-support --instances  --biz-region  --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis/{session-id}

When skip_support_check is true, skip this step entirely and go to Step 8.

Check the support field of the target node in the response:

• true → the node is ready for kernel-level diagnosis, proceed to Step 8
• false (e.g. reason "instance not support in sysom") → the node is not yet capable of kernel-level diagnosis, which normally means the sysom agent has never been installed on it. This skill does not install agents, so:
  1. Tell the user that kernel-level diagnosis is currently unavailable for this node, quoting the reason returned by the API
  2. Tell them the node must first be onboarded to SysOM (Agent installation) in the SysOM console, and that this skill does not perform enrollment
  3. Stop the pipeline there. Do NOT call install-agent, and do NOT substitute CloudMonitor (CMS/CMS2) or any other product's API
  4. If the user explicitly asks to bypass this gate (skip_support_check), skip Step 7 and let Step 8 be the authoritative gate
• Call failed (e.g. 403 Forbidden.RAM, plugin unavailable) → tell the user the support check could not be completed, then continue to Step 8 — Step 8 is the authoritative gate

⚠️ support: false MUST NOT be treated as "diagnosis is unnecessary". Report it as a blocked diagnosis with the API reason, never as a clean result.

Step 8 — Invoke Diagnosis and Poll Results

Diagnosis Mode Decision Rules

if enable_diagnosis == true:
    mode = real-time diagnosis    # enable_diagnosis has highest priority
elif start_time != 0:
    mode = historical diagnosis   # time range specified, retrospective analysis
else:
    mode = real-time diagnosis    # default

• Real-time: start_time=0, end_time=0
• Historical: start_time=, end_time=
• Forced real-time: when enable_diagnosis=true, force start_time to 0 even if provided

Build params JSON

Use snake_case keys (consistent with SDK). Required base fields (ALL must be included):

{
  "instance": "",
  "region": "",
  "start_time": 0,
  "end_time": 0,
  "type": "ocd",
  "ai_roadmap": true,
  "enable_sysom_link": false
}

⚠️ Anti-confusion Warning: "type": "ocd" is a REQUIRED field inside the params JSON — do NOT omit it!

--service-name ocd (CLI argument) and "type": "ocd" (params JSON field) are two different levels of parameters, both are mandatory:

• --service-name ocd → tells CLI which diagnosis service endpoint to call
• "type": "ocd" → tells the diagnosis engine which diagnosis type to execute internally

Do NOT omit "type": "ocd" from params just because --service-name already specifies ocd!

Conditional fields (add only when non-empty / when applicable):

• ocd_description: problem description in English (e.g., high_cpu)
• uid: account ID owning the instance (integer)

lingjun-Specific Required Values

Invoke Diagnosis

aliyun sysom invoke-diagnosis \
  --service-name ocd \
  --channel eflo \
  --params '{"instance":"","region":"","start_time":,"end_time":,"type":"ocd","ai_roadmap":true,"enable_sysom_link":false,"product":"LINGJUN","ocd_description":""}' \
  --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis/{session-id}

⚠️ --channel eflo and "product": "LINGJUN" are both mandatory for lingjun nodes — omitting either will cause the diagnosis to fail or be routed to the wrong engine.

Extract task_id from the response. If Sysom.TaskInProgress error is returned, extract the existing task_id from the error message and proceed to polling.

Poll Results (interval: 10s, max: 60 attempts)

aliyun sysom get-diagnosis-result --task-id  --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis/{session-id}

⛔ Polling MUST complete inside this turn (MUST OBEY): Do the polling yourself, in this turn. It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to hand polling off to a background job / monitor / scheduled task and end your turn with "I will report once it finishes" — a deferred promise is not a result, and the user is left with no answer. Your turn may end in exactly one of three states: Success → the Step 9 report · Fail → the failure template · 60 attempts exhausted → the timeout template. Never end a turn while the status is still Ready / Running.

Step 9 — Result Parsing and Output

Parse the returned JSON and present the result using the mandatory report layout below — five sections, always in this order. Write it in the same language the user used (the Chinese section labels are given after the template; keep the field mapping identical).

🔍 SysOM Diagnosis Report — ()

Overall status: ``

Root cause

``

Issue list

• [Critical] —
• [Warn] —

Suggested fix steps

1. ``
2. ``
3. ``
4. ``

Diagnosis mode

· task_id:

⚠️ Output rules (all mandatory):

• Keep all five sections even when a section is empty — write none rather than dropping the heading
• Every conclusion must carry the measured values returned by the API (IOPS, utilization, load, PID, file path, kernel function name); no vague wording
• Never fabricate a root cause. On Fail or polling timeout, output the failure/timeout template instead (see references/diagnose-workflow.md) — report only task_id, status and next step
• support: false from Step 7 is also not a report: state the API reason and stop, per Step 7
• Suggestions that involve high-risk operations (kill, service restart, file deletion) are presented as suggestions only — wait for the user's confirmation before executing anything

---

Phase 3: Alert Configuration (Steps 10–12)

For detailed workflow, see references/alert-workflow.md.

⛔ Channel Constraint (applies to ALL of Phase 3, MUST OBEY): Alerting in this skill goes exclusively through the SysOM channel — aliyun sysom list-alert-items plus the scripts/create-alert-destination.py / scripts/create-alert-strategy.py SDK scripts. It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to fulfill "monitor / configure alerts" by calling CloudMonitor (CMS / CMS2) or any other product's APIs — including but not limited to workspaces, integration policies, contacts (PutContact), and alert rules. A 403 Forbidden on such a call means you took the wrong channel, not that permissions are missing; do NOT ask for CMS/CMS2 permissions. If a request falls outside what the SysOM channel supports here (node enrollment / Agent installation, cluster-wide or multi-node operations), state that this skill does not support it and stop — do NOT substitute another product's API.

When to run Phase 3

⚠️ Mandatory Closing Statement on Decline: Whenever the user has stated they do not want monitoring / enrollment / alerts, your closing message MUST explicitly state, in the same language the user used, that no alert configuration was performed and that this was a one-time diagnosis.

• Example: As requested, monitoring and alert configuration are skipped — this was a one-time diagnosis.

This statement is required regardless of the diagnosis outcome — on Fail or polling timeout, append it after the failure/timeout template. It is the only text permitted in addition to those templates.

Do NOT re-pitch alert configuration after the user has declined.

Step 10 — Collect DingTalk Webhook and Create Alert Destination (SDK Call)

The Webhook URL is the only input that cannot be inferred. If the user already supplied it, use it as-is and do NOT ask again; ask only when alerts are requested but no Webhook URL was given. This feature is NOT supported by CLI — use SDK scripts under scripts/.

📲 Please provide the DingTalk group bot Webhook URL for receiving alert notifications. Format: https://oapi.dingtalk.com/robot/send?access_token=xxx

💡 How to get it: DingTalk Group Settings → Bot Management → Add Bot → Custom Bot → Optional keyword: alert → Copy Webhook URL

With the Webhook in hand, initialize the SDK environment and create the alert destination:

# Initialize SDK environment (first time only, can skip afterwards)
bash scripts/setup-sdk.sh

# Create alert destination (stdout outputs destination_id)
SKILL_SESSION_ID= .sysom-sdk-venv/bin/python scripts/create-alert-destination.py ''

⚠️ You MUST use .sysom-sdk-venv/bin/python to execute scripts — using system python3 is FORBIDDEN (signature algorithm depends on specific SDK version).

⚠️ You MUST inject SKILL_SESSION_ID= with the session-id generated in Step 0 — the script builds its SDK User-Agent from it (see Observability).

On success, stdout outputs destination_id (a pure number). Record this value for use in Step 12.

Step 11 — Alert Item Selection

aliyun sysom list-alert-items --user-agent AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis/{session-id}

Display the alert items list (categorized by NODE/POD), supporting quick selection (all, node-all, pod-all) and numbered selection. If the user already told you which items to enable (e.g. "all", "all NODE items"), apply that selection directly and go to Step 12 without asking again.

Step 12 — Create Alert Strategy (SDK Call) Once the alert items are known, create the alert strategy directly with destinations set to the destination ID from Step 10.

⚠️ CLI does NOT support the destinations parameter — you MUST use the SDK script to create alert strategies.

SKILL_SESSION_ID= .sysom-sdk-venv/bin/python scripts/create-alert-strategy.py \
  --name "aliyun-aes-skills-create-" \
  --items "," \
  --clusters "" \
  --destinations ""

• --clusters → always default
• --destinations → destination ID from Step 10 (multiple IDs comma-separated, e.g., 1,2)
• --items → alert item names comma-separated

⚠️ You MUST use .sysom-sdk-venv/bin/python to execute scripts — using system python3 is FORBIDDEN.

⚠️ SKILL_SESSION_ID MUST be the same session-id used by all CLI commands in this session.

Success Verification

For verification methods of each phase, see references/verification-method.md.

---

Cleanup

The diagnosis operations in this skill are read-only and do not modify instance state — no cleanup is needed. The only resources this skill can create are the alert destination and the alert strategy, both removable from the SysOM console.

Best Practices

1. Check Cloud Assistant status before diagnosis: SysOM diagnosis depends on Cloud Assistant being online on the lingjun node — always attempt the Step 5 check, but treat it as a non-fatal pre-check: only an explicit "false" terminates the pipeline, while a failed call just skips the pre-check and continues
2. Use real-time diagnosis mode: Unless the user's description points at a past time window, default to real-time diagnosis
3. Use English keywords for ocd_description: API only supports [a-zA-Z0-9_.~-] characters
4. Do not interrogate the user: never open a parameter-confirmation round before diagnosing — ask only for a missing region / instance_id, or for a Webhook URL when alerts were requested without one
5. Diagnosis only — no enrollment: node enrollment / Agent installation (install-agent, list-instance-status, uninstall-agent) is not part of this skill; if asked, say it is unsupported and stop
6. clusters parameter for alert strategy: Always default
7. Alert destinations via SDK: Alert destination APIs are not supported by CLI — must use Python SDK (alibabacloud_sysom20231230)
8. destinations parameter for alert strategy: After creating an alert destination, include destinations (destination ID list) in create-alert-strategy — alerts will be pushed to DingTalk via SysOM
9. Credential security: Never print or echo AK/SK values in conversation
10. UA and session-id: Every OpenAPI CLI command and SDK call must carry AlibabaCloud-Agent-Skills/alibabacloud-aes-sysom-lingjun-diagnosis/{session-id}, with one session-id generated per session and reused unchanged; local commands (aliyun version, aliyun configure ..., aliyun plugin ...) must not carry --user-agent
11. Remediation suggestions may involve high-risk operations: Follow the Human-in-the-loop protocol and wait for user confirmation
12. lingjun-only skill: --channel is always eflo and params must always include "product": "LINGJUN"

---

Unsupported Scenarios

• Non-Linux lingjun nodes (Windows is not supported)
• lingjun nodes with incompatible kernel versions (checked via check-instance-support)
• Non-lingjun instances (e.g., ECS instances i-xxx) — this skill only handles lingjun nodes (e01-cn-xxxxx)
• Node enrollment / SysOM Agent installation (install-agent, list-instance-status, uninstall-agent) — say plainly it is not supported and stop; never emulate it through CloudMonitor or another product's API
• Pure configuration issues (e.g., security group rules, VPC routing — no OS-level diagnosis needed)
