## Overview
Deep debugging techniques for complex Retell AI issues that resist standard troubleshooting.
## Prerequisites
- Access to production logs and metrics
- kubectl access to clusters
- Network capture tools available
- Understanding of distributed tracing
## Evidence Collection Framework
### Comprehensive Debug Bundle
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# advanced-retellai-debug.sh
BUNDLE="retellai-advanced-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BUNDLE"/{logs,metrics,network,config,traces}
# 1. Extended logs (1 hour window)
kubectl logs -l app=retellai-integration --since=1h > "$BUNDLE/logs/pods.log"
journalctl -u retellai-service --since "1 hour ago" > "$BUNDLE/logs/system.log"
# 2. Metrics dump
curl -s localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=retellai_requests_total > "$BUNDLE/metrics/requests.json"
curl -s localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=retellai_errors_total > "$BUNDLE/metrics/errors.json"
# 3. Network capture (30 seconds)
timeout 30 tcpdump -i any port 443 -w "$BUNDLE/network/capture.pcap" &
# 4. Distributed traces
curl -s localhost:16686/api/traces?service=retellai > "$BUNDLE/traces/jaeger.json"
# 5. Configuration state
kubectl get cm retellai-config -o yaml > "$BUNDLE/config/configmap.yaml"
kubectl get secret retellai-secrets -o yaml > "$BUNDLE/config/secrets-redacted.yaml"
tar -czf "$BUNDLE.tar.gz" "$BUNDLE"
echo "Advanced debug bundle: $BUNDLE.tar.gz"
```
## Systematic Isolation
### Layer-by-Layer Testing
```typescript
// Test each layer independently
async function diagnoseRetell AIIssue(): Promise<DiagnosisReport> {
const results: DiagnosisResult[] = [];
// Layer 1: Network connectivity
results.push(await testNetworkConnectivity());
// Layer 2: DNS resolution
results.push(await testDNSResolution('api.retellai.com'));
// Layer 3: TLS handshake
results.push(await testTLSHandshake('api.retellai.com'));
// Layer 4: Authentication
results.push(await testAuthentication());
// Layer 5: API response
