# Tune and Troubleshoot Overview

export const InternalLink = ({version, path = "", children, ...props}) => {
  let detectedVersion = version || "stable";
  if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && !version) {
    const match = window.location.pathname.match(/\/docs\/([^/]+)/);
    if (match) {
      detectedVersion = match[1];
    }
  }
  const normalizedPath = path.startsWith("/") ? path.slice(1) : path;
  return <a href={`/docs/${detectedVersion}/${normalizedPath}`} {...props}>
      {children}
    </a>;
};

Performance tuning on Cockroach Continuum is similar to CockroachDB performance tuning. Statement and index optimization, schema design, and multi-region data placement apply to every cluster.

[Cockroach Aegis](/docs/continuum/aegis-overview) supports proactive tuning through recurring check-ins and recommendations, and reactive troubleshooting through alerts and investigations. Use [Ask Aegis](/docs/continuum/aegis-overview#ask-aegis-cluster-aware-qa) in the web UI to explore cluster behavior alongside its analysis, or connect your own agents through [Aegis MCP](/docs/continuum/aegis-agentic-ecosystem#connect-through-mcp).

Use Aegis reports to understand workload changes even when no recommendation is produced. To act on a recommendation, see [Recommendations](/docs/continuum/aegis-overview#recommendations).
