# azure-sre-agent Interactive canvas to investigate failing Azure applications, analyze KQL queries, and draft Teams updates directly in chat. - plugin · `type=plugin` · GitHub Copilot · ★ 2 - Author: Paul Yuknewicz, Deepthi Chelupati - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/microsoft/azure-dev-tools/tree/HEAD/canvases/azure-sre-agent - Updated: 2026-10-24 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/plugins/azure-sre-agent ## What it does The plugin surfaces an interactive canvas for your Azure SRE Agent inside GitHub Copilot. It lets you inspect incident threads, review gathered evidence, and attach ongoing investigations directly to the chat session. Working with your infrastructure requires an active Azure CLI login alongside appropriate permissions for the inspected resources. Custom connectors link Copilot to private data sources, registered MCP providers, and Kusto databases. Copilot can inspect your Inbox without altering emails and compose Teams channel announcements with live mention previews before posting. Every execution step, external query, or shared artifact requires explicit approval. Environments running Copilot CLI expose the underlying `sre_personal_*` tools directly without Azure MCP. However, interactive canvas panels and visual investigation actions remain limited to hosts that support canvas views. ## Requirements - Works with: Azure ## Install ### GitHub Copilot (native platform) **Command from the source** ```bash copilot plugin install azure-sre-agent@awesome-copilot ``` ## When to use it - troubleshoot failing Azure apps alongside an automated agent - inspect and run bounded KQL queries against Kusto or Logs - draft incident handoff messages for Microsoft Teams channels - browse diagnostic threads and incident evidence inside Copilot ## Example prompts - My app is failing. Open SRE Agent Canvas. - Investigate checkout-api app with my SRE Agent. - Draft an incident handoff from the connected investigation. ## Source text · azure-sre-agent · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 1e30f73a1cfae6ed ````text # Azure SRE Agent Investigate failing Azure apps with your SRE Agent. Analyze KQL with your own sources, read your Inbox, and prepare Teams updates from the same chat. ![Azure SRE Agent canvas showing a Contoso Trading investigation.](docs/preview.png) ## Install In GitHub Copilot, open **Customize → Plugins**, add the **github/awesome-copilot** marketplace, and install **Azure SRE Agent** when listed. Or use the marketplace commands: ```sh copilot plugin marketplace add github/awesome-copilot copilot plugin install azure-sre-agent@awesome-copilot ``` Browse the [Awesome Copilot marketplace](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/main#install-a-plugin). The plugin source remains in [microsoft/azure-dev-tools](https://github.com/microsoft/azure-dev-tools/tree/main/canvases/azure-sre-agent). Reopen Copilot and start a new chat. Requires Azure CLI signed in and access to the resources you use. ## Try it Ask **Open SRE Agent Canvas**. Choose an agent and app, then **Diagnose with SRE Agent**, or open an existing investigation. Browse **Threads** and inspect the selected **Active thread**. For a shared agent, use **External URL or Resource ID**. The star saves **Favorites** without connecting. Choose **Connect This Thread** to continue an investigation in this Copilot conversation. For your own sources, open **Connectors → Add Connector**; no SRE Agent is required. ## What you can do - **Investigations:** diagnose apps, read evidence, start a New thread, and continue a connected investigation from chat. - **KQL:** open an exact query in chat, explain or refine it, then approve a bounded read against your own Kusto, Logs or workspace-backed App Insights. - **Private Connectors:** reuse authorized cloud connections or registered MCP providers. Kusto also accepts a known cluster URL and database. - **Inbox and Teams:** read your Inbox without changing mail; preview Teams channel updates and real mentions before approving a post. - **Evidence sharing:** review the destination investigation and redacted results before sending. Sharing results does not grant source access. - **Automation:** inspect scheduled tasks and HTTP triggers. Opening a query or adding a connector does not read content, send messages, or approve an SRE execution. ## Copilot CLI Compatible Copilot CLI extension runtimes expose this plugin's registered `sre_personal_*` tools directly, without Azure MCP. The visual panel and SRE investigation actions need a canvas-capable host. See [usage and CLI support](docs/advanced.md) for the supported tool path and limits. ## Prompts to try > My app is failing. Open SRE Agent Canvas. > Investigate checkout-api app with my SRE Agent. > Open this SRE Agent external share link and help me connect. > Draft an incident handoff from the connected investigation. ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 1e30f73a1cfae6ed The third-party file has ended.
