# Investigating broken Kubernetes workloads and cluster errors

Inspect failing pods, analyze deployment events, and draft remediation commands

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askReceive incident alert or query
- ThenInspect failing pods and logs
- ResultPresent root cause and fix steps

Query cluster status to identify crashing pods, misconfigured deployments, and degraded services. The bot correlates recent deployment changes with event logs and outlines troubleshooting steps to restore normal operating states.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When investigating a cluster issue, gather resource states, inspect recent events, and check container logs via the terminal interface. Identify the probable root cause of crashes or restart loops. Suggest corrective commands or configuration patches in chat, but never apply changes, restart workloads, or delete resources without explicit user approval.
