Logs

Unfortunately we often don't get any, and instead this is what the CI system produces:

If you’re reading this, that means the Helix work item you’re trying to find the logs for has dead-lettered.

What this means:

- All attempts to retry execution of this work item were unable to complete.  This can be both for infrastructure reasons (problems within Azure) or issues with the work item (for instance, causing a machine to reboot unexpectedly or killing the Helix client on the machine will force a retry).
- No further work will be done for this specific work item, and its exit code is set to an artificial -1 (since it did not complete, there is no real exit code).

Common causes:

- Disabled queue (end-of-life Helix queues are automatically forwarded to deadletter and will fail instantly)
- Unhealthy Helix Client machine(s)
- Queue has been backed up heavily by a large amount of work and was manually purged by the engineering team
- Azure issues (e.g. Service Bus is overloaded)
- Malformed payloads; if Helix cannot download and unzip all payloads successfully, work will retry until dead-lettered.

For follow up:

- Check if your Helix Queue is still enabled, either via the metadata you see by browsing to https://helix.dot.net/api/info/queues?api-version=2019-06-17 or recent emails from the .NET Engineering Infrastructure team.
- Check that all work item payloads are accessible using a browser.
- If you are sending to a non-disabled queue and find this error repeatedly occurring, please contact the dnceng team.
- If a single, specific work item dead letters and others do not, consider local debugging; it may be causing spontaneous reboot (or trigging one intentionally).
