Instructions onlyDevOps & Cloud
AI-generated overview

Guides setup of observability views, webhooks, notification channels and integrations via cx CLI commands.

What it does
This skill provides instructions for configuring an observability stack using the cx command-line interface. It documents commands for saved views and folders, outgoing webhooks and automation actions, notification connectors, routers and presets, and integrations with extensions and contextual data. It also lays out step-by-step workflows for onboarding a new service and for notification and webhook setup, including testing after configuration.
When to use it
Use it when a user wants to set up or reconfigure monitoring and observability for a service or team, such as creating saved views, configuring webhooks, routing alerts to Slack, PagerDuty or email, or installing integrations. It is intended as a day-one setup guide for onboarding a new service or adjusting notification pipelines.
Requirements
Requires the cx CLI to be available and authenticated, with profile selection and JSON output options. Network access is needed to reach the observability platform and external services such as Slack or PagerDuty. The skill ships no scripts; it is instructions only, and JSON payload files are supplied by the user.

Observability Setup Skill

Use this skill when setting up or configuring the observability stack - saved views, webhook integrations, notification channels, and external integrations. This is the "day 1 setup" skill for onboarding a new service or reconfiguring notification pipelines.

New Service Setup Workflow

When onboarding a new service, follow this checklist:

1. Create Saved Views

Set up views for the service's key log queries:

bash
cx views folders create --from-file folder.jsoncx views create --from-file view.json

2. Set Up Notification Connectors

Configure channels (Slack, PagerDuty, email):

bash
cx notifications connectors types -o jsoncx notifications connectors create --from-file slack-connector.json

3. Configure Notification Routing

Route alerts to the right channels:

bash
cx notifications routers create --from-file router.json

4. Set Up Webhooks

Configure outgoing webhooks for external integrations:

bash
cx webhooks types -o jsoncx webhooks create --from-file webhook.jsoncx webhooks test <webhook-id>

5. Install Integrations

Deploy relevant integrations and extensions:

bash
cx integrations list -o jsoncx integrations create --from-file integration.jsoncx integrations extensions deploy --from-file extension.json

6. Create Dashboard

Use the cx-dashboards skill for the full dashboard creation workflow.

7. Create SLOs

Use the cx-slos skill for SLO creation and monitoring.

Notification Setup Workflow

Detailed notification channel configuration:

1. List Available Connector Types

bash
cx notifications connectors types -o json

2. Create a Connector

bash
cx notifications connectors create --from-file connector.json

3. Create a Router

bash
cx notifications routers create --from-file router.json

4. Assign or Create a Preset

bash
cx notifications presets list -o jsoncx notifications presets create --from-file preset.jsoncx notifications presets set-default <preset-id>

5. Test End-to-End

bash
cx notifications test connector --from-file test-connector.jsoncx notifications test destination --from-file test-destination.jsoncx notifications test routing-condition --from-file test-condition.json

Webhook Setup

1. List Webhook Types

bash
cx webhooks types -o json

2. Create Webhook

Template from an existing webhook if possible:

bash
cx webhooks get <existing-id> -o json > webhook-template.jsoncx webhooks create --from-file webhook.json

3. Test Webhook

bash
cx webhooks test <webhook-id>

4. Create Automation Actions (Optional)

bash
cx webhooks actions create --from-file action.jsoncx webhooks actions reorder --from-file order.json

Key Principles

  • Always test after setup - use cx notifications test, cx webhooks test, cx integrations test
  • Use --from-file for complex JSON payloads - pipe from stdin or use a file
  • Template from existing - cx <command> get <id> -o json > template.json before creating
  • Check connector types first - cx notifications connectors types and cx webhooks types before creating
