abridge-debug-bundle
This tool collects comprehensive, HIPAA-safe diagnostic data for Abridge support and troubleshooting. It gathers environment variables, connectivity status to Abridge APIs and FHIR servers, recent error logs, and session diagnostics. Essential for filing support tickets or escalating issues to engineering teams.

Abridge Debug Bundle

Overview

Collect HIPAA-safe diagnostic data for Abridge support tickets. All PHI is automatically redacted before bundle creation.

Prerequisites

  • Abridge credentials configured
  • Access to application logs
  • Node.js or bash for running diagnostic scripts

Instructions

Step 1: Generate Debug Bundle

// src/debug/abridge-debug-bundle.ts
import fs from 'fs';
import { execSync } from 'child_process';

interface DebugBundle {
  timestamp: string;
  environment: Record<string, string>;
  connectivity: Record<string, any>;
  recentErrors: any[];
  sessionDiagnostics: any[];
  fhirStatus: any;
}

async function generateDebugBundle(): Promise<DebugBundle> {
  const bundle: DebugBundle = {
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    environment: collectEnvironment(),
    connectivity: await testConnectivity(),
    recentErrors: await collectRecentErrors(),
    sessionDiagnostics: await collectSessionDiagnostics(),
    fhirStatus: await checkFhirStatus(),
  };

  // Redact PHI before saving
  const sanitized = redactPhi(JSON.stringify(bundle, null, 2));
  const filename = `abridge-debug-${Date.now()}.json`;
  fs.writeFileSync(filename, sanitized);
  console.log(`Debug bundle saved: ${filename}`);

  return bundle;
}

function collectEnvironment(): Record<string, string> {
  return {
    nodeVersion: process.version,
    platform: process.platform,
    abridgeBaseUrl: process.env.ABRIDGE_BASE_URL || 'NOT SET',
    orgId: process.env.ABRIDGE_ORG_ID ? 'SET (redacted)' : 'NOT SET',
    clientSecret: process.env.ABRIDGE_CLIENT_SECRET ? 'SET (redacted)' : 'NOT SET',
    fhirBaseUrl: process.env.EPIC_FHIR_BASE_URL || 'NOT SET',
    timezone: Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone,
  };
}

async function testConnectivity(): Promise<Record<string, any>> {
  const results: Record<string, any> = {};
  const endpoints = [
    { name: 'abridge_api', url: `${process.env.ABRIDGE_BASE_URL}/health` },
    { name: 'fhir_server', url: `${process.env.EPIC_FHIR_BASE_URL}/metadata` },
  ];

  for (const ep of endpoints) {
    try {
      const start = Date.now();
      const res = await fetch(ep.url, { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000) });
      results[ep.name] = { status: res.status, latency_ms: Date.now() - start };
    } catch (err) {
      results[ep.name] = { status: 'UNREACHABLE', error: (err as Error).message };
    }
  }
  return results;
}

function redactPhi(text: string): string {
  return text
    .replace(/\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}\b/g, '[SSN-REDACTED]')
    .replace(/\b\d{10}\b/g, '[MRN-REDACTED]')
    .replace(/"(name|patient_name|given|family)":\s*"[^"]+"/g, '"$1": "[REDACTED]"')
    .replace(/\b\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{2,4}\b/g, '[DOB-REDACTED]');
}

Step 2: Session-Level Diagnostics

async function collectSessionDiagnostics(): Promise<any[]> {
  const api = AbridgeApiClient.getInstance().http;
  try {
    const { data } = await api.get('/encounters/sessions', {
      params: { status: 'error', limit: 10, order: 'desc' },
    });
    return data.sessions.map((s: any) => ({
      session_id: s.session_id,
      status: s.status,
      error_code: s.error_code,
      specialty: s.specialty,
      created_at: s.created_at,
      segment_count: s.segment_count,
      // No PHI fields included
    }));
  } catch {
    return [{ error: 'Could not fetch session diagnostics' }];
  }
}

Step 3: Bash Quick Diagnostic

#!/bin/bash
# scripts/abridge-quick-diag.sh

echo "=== Abridge Quick Diagnostics $(date -Iseconds) ==="

echo -e "\n--- Environment ---"
echo "ABRIDGE_BASE_URL: ${ABRIDGE_BASE_URL:-NOT SET}"
echo "ABRIDGE_ORG_ID: ${ABRIDGE_ORG_ID:+SET (redacted)}"
echo "ABRIDGE_CLIENT_SECRET: ${ABRIDGE_CLIENT_SECRET:+SET (redacted)}"

echo -e "\n--- Connectivity ---"
echo -n "API Health: "
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code} (%{time_total}s)" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ABRIDGE_CLIENT_SECRET" \
  -H "X-Org-Id: $ABRIDGE_ORG_ID" \
  "$ABRIDGE_BASE_URL/health"

echo -e "\n\n--- TLS Info ---"
echo | openssl s_client -connect "$(echo $ABRIDGE_BASE_URL | sed 's|https://||'):443" 2>/dev/null \
  | openssl x509 -noout -subject -dates 2>/dev/null

echo -e "\n--- DNS Resolution ---"
dig +short "$(echo $ABRIDGE_BASE_URL | sed 's|https://||')" 2>/dev/null || echo "dig not available"

echo -e "\n=== Diagnostics Complete ==="

Output

  • abridge-debug-{timestamp}.json file with all PHI redacted
  • Environment configuration status
  • Connectivity test results with latency
  • Recent error sessions (metadata only, no PHI)

Error Handling

Issue Cause Solution
Bundle contains PHI Redaction regex missed a pattern Add pattern to redactPhi() function
Cannot reach API Network/firewall issue Check DNS, TLS cert, firewall rules
Empty error list No recent errors Good sign — check if issue is client-side
