Azure Messaging SDK Troubleshooting
Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Services | Azure Event Hubs, Azure Service Bus |
| MCP Tools | mcp_azure_mcp_eventhubs, mcp_azure_mcp_servicebus |
| Best For | Diagnosing SDK connection, auth, and message processing issues |
When to Use This Skill
- SDK connection failures, auth errors, or AMQP link errors
- Idle timeout, connection inactivity, or slow reconnection after disconnect
- AMQP link detach or detach-forced errors
- Message lock lost, message lock expired, lock renewal failures, or batch lock timeouts
- Session lock lost, session lock expired, or session receiver errors
- Event processor or message handler stops processing
- Duplicate events or checkpoint offset resets
- SDK configuration questions (retry, prefetch, batch size, receive batch behavior)
MCP Tools
| Tool | Command | Use |
|------|---------|-----|
| mcp_azure_mcp_eventhubs | Namespace/hub ops | List namespaces, hubs, consumer groups |
| mcp_azure_mcp_servicebus | Queue/topic ops | List namespaces, queues, topics, subscriptions |
| mcp_azure_mcp_monitor | logs_query | Query diagnostic logs with KQL |
| mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth | get | Check service health status |
| mcp_azure_mcp_documentation | Doc search | Search Microsoft Learn for troubleshooting docs |
Diagnosis Workflow
- Identify the SDK and version — Check the prompt for SDK and version clues; if not stated, proceed with diagnosis and ask later if needed
- Check resource health — Use
mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealthto verify the namespace is healthy - Review the error message — Match against language-specific troubleshooting guide
- Look up documentation — Use
mcp_azure_mcp_documentationto search Microsoft Learn for the error or topic - Check configuration — Verify connection string, entity name, consumer group
- Recommend fix — Apply remediation, citing documentation found
Troubleshooting Guides
Connectivity, SDK, and auth troubleshooting guides are located in the azure-diagnostics skill under troubleshooting/messaging/.

End-to-end orchestrator: from a business idea, app idea, or existing app to running Azure deployment with cost estimates and pre-deploy approval. Analyzes your app, auto-detects the right Azure services, scaffolds infrastructure code, and deploys — tailored to your app, not a template. Handles moving existing apps to Azure without rewriting or with minimal changes. WHEN: bring your app to Azure, plan my app, cost to run, is my code ready to deploy, deploy my app to the cloud, deploy all my services, what Azure services do I need, plan my Azure deployment, deploy my new app to Azure, one-click deploy, I have an app and want it on Azure, migrate my app to Azure, help me get started, build an app, no code yet, starter project. DO NOT USE FOR: running azd up (use azure-deploy), optimizing existing costs (use azure-cost), code readiness checks only (use azure-app-onboard-prereq).
