Load this skill when an investigation needs to explain errors in logs held in Bronto - an error surge, a failing service, a specific error event or a Bronto monitor alert. It isolates the error, finds when it started, breaks it down by version, host, customer, endpoint, client and region to find what it is concentrated on, verifies the suspect against a control query, and reports the scope, a hypothesis and next steps with links to the supporting searches.
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
# Investigate an error with Bronto logs Most error investigations end with the same question: what do the failing events have in common that the healthy ones don't? This skill answers it from the error's distribution rather than from reading log lines one by one. It defines the error precisely, finds when it started, splits it by the dimensions that usually explain errors, and confirms the strongest suspect with a control query. This skill covers the investigation method. For Bronto's search syntax, quoting rules and which tool returns what, use the `bronto-log-search` skill. To find the datasets that hold a service's logs, use the `bronto-dataset-discovery` skill. All steps are read-only. Do not create monitors or saved searches as part of this skill. ## 1. Start from what you were given - **A Bronto monitor alert.** The incident description carries the monitor's `Query`, `Group`, `Value`, `Window` and a monitor link. Use `Query` as the starting error filter in step 2, and take the alert time as the end of the window. If `Group` names a value, such as one host or path, note it: it is already a suspect to check in step 5. …

How to install
mdr add aws/tools-for-devops-agent/bronto-error-investigation@sha256:44fe4ecac114522cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
