Pidgeotto 🪽

Automatically detects failed pods across all AKS clusters, fetches their logs, and uses Claude AI to explain what went wrong and how to fix it.

---

Prerequisites

• Azure CLI installed and logged in (az login)
• Claude Code installed and authenticated
• Python 3.10+
• Access to an Azure resource group containing AKS clusters

---

Setup

git clone <repo-url>cd Pidgeotto
python3 -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set at minimum: AKS_RESOURCE_GROUP

---

Run

python main.py

Pidgeotto will:

1. Query Azure for all clusters in the resource group
2. Skip stopped clusters, watch only running ones
3. Detect any pod failures in real time
4. Fetch the pod logs and send them to Claude for analysis
5. Print a summary panel to the terminal

---

Output

For every failed pod you'll see two panels:

╭─ FAILED POD ──────────────────────────────╮
│ Cluster : my-cluster │
│ Name : my-pod-abc123 │
│ Namespace : my-namespace │
│ Reason : Error │ Exit code : 1 │
│ Time : 2026-03-25 17:02:36 UTC │
╰───────────────────────────────────────────╯
╭─ Claude Analysis ─────────────────────────╮
│ [WARNING] │
│ │
│ Root cause: ... │
│ Suggested fix: ... │
╰───────────────────────────────────────────╯

A full history of all analyses is saved to state/analysis_log.md.

Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env and edit as needed:

Variable	Default	Description
AKS_RESOURCE_GROUP	(required)	Azure resource group to scan
PLATFORM_NAME	(none)	Your platform/org name, added to Claude's analysis context
TIMEZONE	UTC	Timestamps timezone — any IANA name (e.g. Asia/Kolkata, America/New_York). Falls back to UTC if invalid.
CLUSTER_SYNC_INTERVAL	300	Seconds between cluster list refreshes
WATCH_NAMESPACES	(all)	Comma-separated namespaces to watch
LOG_TAIL_LINES	150	Log lines fetched per failed container
STATE_DIR	./state	Where seen.json and analysis_log.md are stored

---

How it handles edge cases

Scenario	Behaviour
Stopped cluster	Skipped — no noise in logs
Cluster started after Pidgeotto is running	Picked up automatically within CLUSTER_SYNC_INTERVAL seconds
Cluster deleted from Azure	Watcher stopped cleanly
Same pod failure seen after restart	Skipped — tracked in state/seen.json
Cluster temporarily unreachable	Retries with exponential backoff (up to 60s)
