Amazon MSK Provisioned operations, troubleshooting, and health.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Amazon MSK Operations

Operate, troubleshoot, and assess Amazon MSK (Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka)
Provisioned clusters — both Standard and Express broker types. This skill covers
day-to-day operations (health assessments, monitoring setup) and ad-hoc incident
response (performance degradation, consumer lag, storage full, unexpected broker
reboots).

## When to Use

Activate this skill when the user asks to:

- Review, audit, or assess an MSK cluster for best practices, health, or
  operational readiness.
- Troubleshoot an MSK cluster problem: high CPU, high produce/fetch latency,
  consumer lag, broker storage running out, TrafficShaping events, under-replicated
  partitions, or an unexpected broker restart.
- Set up MSK monitoring: choose a monitoring level, create recommended CloudWatch
  alarms and dashboards, understand the metrics available in the `AWS/Kafka`
  namespace.
- Plan an MSK maintenance event: rolling restart, Kafka version upgrade, security
  patching, broker instance type change.
- Advise on Kafka client (producer / consumer) configuration when the client is
  connecting to an MSK cluster.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aws/tools-for-devops-agent/msk-operations@sha256:52239a3af6d339b5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
