Automatically correlate Azure API failures into root cause reports

Pulls Azure telemetry, links failed API calls to their root cause, and generates a detailed failure report.

How the work actually flows

The problem it solves

When something breaks in production, you end up digging through scattered logs across multiple systems just to figure out what actually failed and why. That investigation eats up time during an incident when every minute matters.

Who it fits

DevOps or platform engineering teams responsible for troubleshooting production API and messaging failures.

How it works

  1. Pulls recent telemetry from your Azure environment
  2. Collects API request logs, message traces, and exceptions
  3. Links failed requests to related messages and errors using shared identifiers
  4. Builds a detailed report showing what failed and why
  5. Delivers the report as a document or spreadsheet export
What you get

Root cause reports ready before you start digging

You get a detailed report linking failed API calls to their root cause, pulled straight from your Azure telemetry.

What you get

A detailed failure analysis report showing root causes tied to specific API and messaging failures.

What you need

An Azure account with Application Insights, API Management, and Service Bus configured, plus a registered service principal.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
