Overview

Use for VSS alert workflows — real-time monitoring, Alert-Bridge subscriptions, Slack notifications, incident queries, camera onboarding. Not for non-alert analytics.

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Purpose

Operate the VSS alert pipeline (mode detection, Alert-Bridge subscriptions, Slack notifications, queries, camera onboarding, verifier-prompt customization).

Prerequisites

  • Active VSS deployment reachable on $HOST_IP (see vss-deploy-profile and references/).
  • NGC credentials in $NGC_CLI_API_KEY and $NVIDIA_API_KEY for any image pulls.
  • curl, jq, and Docker available on the caller.

Instructions

Follow the routing tables and step-by-step workflows below. Each section that ends in workflow, quick start, or flow is intended to be executed top-to-bottom. Detailed reference material lives in references/ and helper scripts live in scripts/ — call them via run_script when the skill points to a script by name.

Examples

Runnable end-to-end scenarios live under evals/ (each *.json manifest); inline curl blocks appear in each workflow below. Replay with nv-base validate <this-skill-dir> --agent-eval.

Limitations

Requires the matching VSS profile/microservice deployed and reachable. NGC-hosted models/NIMs are subject to rate-limits, GPU-memory needs, and license terms; concurrency and storage limits depend on host hardware and the profile's compose file.

Troubleshooting

  • Connection refused → microservice not running: probe /docs or /health, redeploy via vss-deploy-profile.
  • HTTP 401/403 on NGC pulls → missing/expired NGC_CLI_API_KEY: docker login nvcr.io and re-export the key.
  • OOM / model load failure → insufficient GPU memory: use a smaller variant or docker compose down to free GPUs.

VSS Alert Management

The alerts profile runs in one of two modes (chosen at /vss-deploy-profile -p alerts -m {verification,real-time}) — see The Two Modes table below. This skill routes by deployed mode + user intent (monitoring vs subscription CRUD vs Slack webhook).

When to Use

  • Start/stop a real-time alert on a sensor ("Start real-time alert for boxes dropped on warehouse_sample")
  • Create/list/stop realtime subscription rules on Alert Bridge
  • Set up or manage Slack incident notifications
  • List or query detected incidents / alerts; check verdicts (confirmed/rejected/unverified)
  • Add a new camera to the alerts pipeline; customize VLM-verifier prompts (CV mode)

Deployment prerequisite

Requires the VSS alerts profile on $HOST_IP in either verification (CV) or real-time (VLM) mode.

# Either vss-rtvi-cv (CV mode) OR vss-rtvi-vlm (VLM mode) must be present.
curl -sf --max-time 5 "http://${HOST_IP}:8000/docs" >/dev/null \
  && docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' \
     | grep -qE '^(vss-rtvi-cv|vss-rtvi-vlm)$'

If the probe fails, ask which mode to deploy and hand off to /vss-deploy-profile -p alerts -m <mode> (decline → stop; pre-authorized autonomous deploy → run directly with verification by default). If it passes, detect the mode per Step 1.

The Two Modes (Deploy-Time Choice)

ModeDeploy flagEnv (.env)What runsWhat is available
CV (verification)-m verificationMODE=2d_cvRT-CV (Grounding DINO) + Behavior Analytics + alert-bridge VLM verifier + rtvi-vlmBoth static CV pipeline (Workflow A) and dynamic VLM real-time alerts (Workflows B/D)
VLM (real-time)-m real-timeMODE=2d_vlmalert-bridge + rtvi-vlmOnly dynamic VLM real-time alerts (Workflows B/D) and alert-bridge backend. No static CV pipeline.

Switching modes uses the vss-deploy-profile teardown + deploy flow with the other -m flag (VLM → CV adds the CV pipeline; CV → VLM tears it down). rtvi-vlm runs in both modes.

Step 1 — Detect the Currently Deployed Mode

Before running any alert workflow, check which mode is live. Use CV-only containers as the signal — vss-rtvi-vlm is not a reliable mode signal because it runs in both modes.

# CV verification mode (vss-behavior-analytics + vss-rtvi-cv are CV-only)
docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | grep -qx vss-behavior-analytics && echo "mode=CV"

# VLM real-time mode (no CV pipeline; vss-rtvi-vlm still runs)
docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | grep -qx vss-behavior-analytics || \
  docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | grep -qx vss-rtvi-vlm && echo "mode=VLM"

If vss-behavior-analytics is present → CV mode (which also has vss-rtvi-vlm). If only vss-rtvi-vlm is present (and no CV pipeline) → VLM mode. If neither matches, the alerts profile is not deployed — direct the user to the vss-deploy-profile skill.

Alternative signal (preferred when docker ps isn't accessible): check the profile's generated.env:

grep -E '^MODE=' deploy/docker/developer-profiles/dev-profile-alerts/generated.env
# MODE=2d_cv   → CV mode (full superset)
# MODE=2d_vlm  → VLM real-time mode (vss-rtvi-vlm only; no vss-rtvi-cv)

Step 2 — Route by Deployed Mode

Deployed modeUser asks about…Action
VLM real-timeSlack webhook setup/status/test/stopWorkflow E — references/alert-notify.md
VLM real-timerule CRUD, or a realtime alert on a sensor with a detection condition, or stop/delete a named alert (by alert_type/condition or rule ID)Workflow D — references/alert-subscriptions.md (incl. two-step stop/confirm)
CV verificationsubscription/rule CRUD or Slack/notification setupRefuse — see canonical refusal text below
CV or VLMgeneric start/stop monitoring without a detection conditionWorkflow B (VLM) — call the VSS Agent; rtvi-vlm runs in both modes
CV or VLMincident lookup / what happened (recent alerts, time-range, casual "any alerts today?")Workflow C (Query) — works on both; always run the query, never answer from memory
CVstatic CV alert onboarding / verdict-prompt customizationWorkflow A (CV) — onboard RTSP via vss-manage-video-io-storage; pipeline auto-picks it up
VLMa CV / behavior-analytics / PPE-rule alert needing the static CV pipelineRedeployment required — confirm first, then vss-deploy-profile -m verification

Always confirm before triggering a redeploy. A mode switch stops all currently-running monitoring and restarts services.

Intent precedence (first match wins)
  1. Workflow E (Slack) — Slack-specific keywords (slack, webhook + slack, bot token, slack channel). notify alone is not sufficient.
  2. Workflow D (Subscriptions) — sensor plus a detection condition, rule CRUD keywords (rule, subscription, rule ID), or stopping/deleting a named alert by type/condition ("stop the PPE alert", "delete the collision rule"). A named alert_type/condition = an existing rule → D's two-step stop protocol (GET /api/v1/realtime → yes/no confirm → delete), never Workflow B.
  3. Workflow B (VLM monitoring) — generic start/stop on a sensor with no detection condition and no alert-type qualifier ("start/stop real-time alert for sensor X"). A stop that names a type ("stop the PPE alert") is a rule stop → Workflow D.
  4. Workflow C (Query) — incident lookup / what happened (show/list incidents, recent alerts, time-range queries, and casual "any alerts…?" / "any alerts so far today?" / "what's been triggered?" phrasings). Bare alerts (without rule/subscription/active rules) means incidents → Workflow C, never Workflow D.
  5. Workflow A (CV) — CV deployment handling for anything not matched above.

alerts vs alert rules (C vs D) — pick exactly one, never both: what happened / has been triggered (incidents) → Workflow C (POST /generate). What rules/subscriptions are configured or active → Workflow D (the bare GET /api/v1/realtime, no /incidents). Bare alerts = incidents (C); alert rules / subscriptions / active rules = inventory (D). Never answer from memory; run the one correct call — full endpoint detail in Workflow C below.

Disambiguation (B vs D): if a sensor is named with start/monitor language but the detection condition is unclear, ask:

"Do you want me to (a) create a persistent alert rule on Alert Bridge that keeps running until you delete it, or (b) start a one-time monitoring session via the VSS Agent?"

Stop routing (B vs D): "Stop the <type> alert" (names an alert_type/condition like PPE, collision, fire) = stop a subscription rule → Workflow D (find via GET /api/v1/realtime, then the two-step stop/confirm protocol in references/alert-subscriptions.md; do not call POST /generate). A bare "stop real-time alert / stop monitoring on <sensor>" with no type qualifier = Workflow B.

If a prompt mixes workflows ("start monitoring and send to Slack"), ask one clarifying question to split execution order.

CV-mode refusal text for D and E intents

When the deployed mode is CV verification and the user asks for an alert-subscription or Slack/notification intent, refuse with this message verbatim:

"Alert subscriptions and Slack notifications are only supported in VLM real-time mode. Your current deployment is <CV verification | not deployed>. To use these features, redeploy with /vss-deploy-profile -p alerts -m real-time (note: switching tears down current CV monitoring)."

No auto-redeploy. The user decides whether to switch modes.

Prereq for Either Mode: Sensor Must Be in VIOS

Both modes require the camera registered in VIOS first (via the vss-manage-video-io-storage skill):

  • RTSP URL / IP camera → add it with POST /sensor/add (that skill's Section 6); record the sensorId / name.
  • Named existing sensor → confirm it appears in GET /sensor/list before proceeding.

On CV, adding the RTSP is the entire onboarding step (pipeline auto-picks it up). On VLM, it is a prerequisite to Workflow B.

The Agent /generate Endpoint

All VLM-flow actions and all query actions go through the VSS Agent's natural-language endpoint:

AGENT="http://<AGENT_ENDPOINT>"   # default http://localhost:8000 on the alerts profile

curl -s -X POST "$AGENT/generate" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input_message": "<natural-language request>"}' | jq .

Endpoint resolution: use the agent endpoint from the active VSS deployment context. If unavailable, ask the user. Do not discover via filesystem.

Availability check: curl -sf --connect-timeout 5 "$AGENT/docs".

Do not call the rtvi-vlm microservice endpoints directly — always go through the agent. The agent internally dispatches to rtvi_vlm_alert, rtvi_prompt_gen, and video_analytics_mcp.get_incidents.

Workflow A — CV Mode (-m verification / MODE=2d_cv)

CV alerts are deployment-driven, not request-driven — there is no agent call to "create" one.

  1. Check if the sensor is in VIOS via vss-manage-video-io-storage's GET /sensor/list (idempotent — don't blindly POST /sensor/add).
  2. If missing, onboard via that skill's POST /sensor/add. The CV pipeline auto-picks up the stream once registered and online.
  3. Confirm online: curl -s "http://<VST_ENDPOINT>/vst/api/v1/sensor/<sensorId>/status" | jq .
  4. Alerts land in Elasticsearch (Behavior Analytics → alert-bridge verification per alert_type_config.json). Query with Workflow C.

A static-CV-pipeline alert on a VLM-only deployment is a mode mismatch — see the routing table above.

## Purpose

Operate the VSS alert pipeline (mode detection, Alert-Bridge subscriptions, Slack notifications, queries, camera onboarding, verifier-prompt customization).

## Prerequisites

- Active VSS deployment reachable on `$HOST_IP` (see `vss-deploy-profile` and `references/`).
- NGC credentials in `$NGC_CLI_API_KEY` and `$NVIDIA_API_KEY` for any image pulls.
- `curl`, `jq`, and Docker available on the caller.

## Instructions

Follow the routing tables and step-by-step workflows below. Each section that ends in *workflow*, *quick start*, or *flow* is intended to be executed top-to-bottom. Detailed reference material lives in `references/` and helper scripts live in `scripts/` — call them via `run_script` when the skill points to a script by name.

## Examples

Runnable end-to-end scenarios live under `evals/` (each `*.json` manifest); inline `curl` blocks appear in each workflow below. Replay with `nv-base validate <this-skill-dir> --agent-eval`.

## Limitations

Requires the matching VSS profile/microservice deployed and reachable. NGC-hosted models/NIMs are subject to rate-limits, GPU-memory needs, and license terms; concurrency and storage limits depend on host hardware and the profile's compose file.

## Troubleshooting

- **Connection refused** → microservice not running: probe `/docs` or `/health`, redeploy via `vss-deploy-profile`.
- **HTTP 401/403 on NGC pulls** → missing/expired `NGC_CLI_API_KEY`: `docker login nvcr.io` and re-export the key.
- **OOM / model load failure** → insufficient GPU memory: use a smaller variant or `docker compose down` to free GPUs.

# VSS Alert Management

The alerts profile runs in one of two modes (chosen at `/vss-deploy-profile -p alerts -m {verification,real-time}`) — see **The Two Modes** table below. This skill routes by **deployed mode + user intent** (monitoring vs subscription CRUD vs Slack webhook).

## When to Use

- Start/stop a real-time alert on a sensor ("Start real-time alert for boxes dropped on warehouse_sample")
- Create/list/stop realtime subscription rules on Alert Bridge
- Set up or manage Slack incident notifications
- List or query detected incidents / alerts; check verdicts (confirmed/rejected/unverified)
- Add a new camera to the alerts pipeline; customize VLM-verifier prompts (CV mode)

---

## Deployment prerequisite

Requires the VSS **alerts** profile on `$HOST_IP` in either `verification` (CV) or `real-time` (VLM) mode.

```bash
# Either vss-rtvi-cv (CV mode) OR vss-rtvi-vlm (VLM mode) must be present.
curl -sf --max-time 5 "http://${HOST_IP}:8000/docs" >/dev/null \
  && docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' \
     | grep -qE '^(vss-rtvi-cv|vss-rtvi-vlm)$'
```

If the probe fails, ask which mode to deploy and hand off to `/vss-deploy-profile -p alerts -m <mode>` (decline → stop; pre-authorized autonomous deploy → run directly with `verification` by default). If it passes, detect the mode per Step 1.

---

## The Two Modes (Deploy-Time Choice)

| Mode | Deploy flag | Env (`.env`) | What runs | What is available |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **CV (verification)** | `-m verification` | `MODE=2d_cv` | RT-CV (Grounding DINO) + Behavior Analytics + `alert-bridge` VLM verifier + **`rtvi-vlm`** | **Both** static CV pipeline (Workflow A) **and** dynamic VLM real-time alerts (Workflows B/D) |
| **VLM (real-time)** | `-m real-time` | `MODE=2d_vlm` | `alert-bridge` + `rtvi-vlm` | **Only** dynamic VLM real-time alerts (Workflows B/D) and `alert-bridge` backend. No static CV pipeline. |

**Switching modes** uses the `vss-deploy-profile` teardown + deploy flow with the other `-m` flag (VLM → CV adds the CV pipeline; CV → VLM tears it down). `rtvi-vlm` runs in both modes.

---

## Step 1 — Detect the Currently Deployed Mode

Before running any alert workflow, check which mode is live. Use **CV-only** containers as the signal — `vss-rtvi-vlm` is **not** a reliable mode signal because it runs in both modes.

```bash
# CV verification mode (vss-behavior-analytics + vss-rtvi-cv are CV-only)
docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | grep -qx vss-behavior-analytics && echo "mode=CV"

# VLM real-time mode (no CV pipeline; vss-rtvi-vlm still runs)
docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | grep -qx vss-behavior-analytics || \
  docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | grep -qx vss-rtvi-vlm && echo "mode=VLM"
```

If `vss-behavior-analytics` is present → **CV mode** (which also has `vss-rtvi-vlm`).
If only `vss-rtvi-vlm` is present (and no CV pipeline) → **VLM mode**.
If neither matches, the alerts profile is not deployed — direct the user to the `vss-deploy-profile` skill.

Alternative signal (preferred when `docker ps` isn't accessible): check the profile's `generated.env`:

```bash
grep -E '^MODE=' deploy/docker/developer-profiles/dev-profile-alerts/generated.env
# MODE=2d_cv   → CV mode (full superset)
# MODE=2d_vlm  → VLM real-time mode (vss-rtvi-vlm only; no vss-rtvi-cv)
```

---

## Step 2 — Route by Deployed Mode

| Deployed mode | User asks about… | Action |
|---|---|---|
| **VLM real-time** | Slack webhook setup/status/test/stop | **Workflow E** — `references/alert-notify.md` |
| **VLM real-time** | rule CRUD, or a realtime alert on a sensor with a detection condition, or stop/delete a named alert (by `alert_type`/condition or rule ID) | **Workflow D** — `references/alert-subscriptions.md` (incl. two-step stop/confirm) |
| **CV verification** | subscription/rule CRUD or Slack/notification setup | Refuse — see canonical refusal text below |
| **CV or VLM** | generic start/stop monitoring **without** a detection condition | **Workflow B (VLM)** — call the VSS Agent; `rtvi-vlm` runs in both modes |
| **CV or VLM** | incident lookup / *what happened* (recent alerts, time-range, casual "any alerts today?") | **Workflow C (Query)** — works on both; **always run the query, never answer from memory** |
| **CV** | static CV alert onboarding / verdict-prompt customization | **Workflow A (CV)** — onboard RTSP via `vss-manage-video-io-storage`; pipeline auto-picks it up |
| **VLM** | a CV / behavior-analytics / PPE-rule alert needing the static CV pipeline | **Redeployment required** — confirm first, then `vss-deploy-profile -m verification` |

**Always confirm before triggering a redeploy.** A mode switch stops all currently-running monitoring and restarts services.

### Intent precedence (first match wins)

1. **Workflow E (Slack)** — Slack-specific keywords (`slack`, `webhook` + `slack`, `bot token`, `slack channel`). `notify` alone is **not** sufficient.
2. **Workflow D (Subscriptions)** — sensor **plus** a detection condition, rule CRUD keywords (`rule`, `subscription`, rule ID), **or stopping/deleting a named alert by type/condition** ("stop the PPE alert", "delete the collision rule"). A named `alert_type`/condition = an existing **rule** → D's two-step stop protocol (`GET /api/v1/realtime` → yes/no confirm → delete), never Workflow B.
3. **Workflow B (VLM monitoring)** — generic start/stop on a sensor with **no** detection condition and **no** alert-type qualifier ("start/stop real-time alert for sensor X"). A stop that names a type ("stop the **PPE** alert") is a rule stop → Workflow D.
4. **Workflow C (Query)** — incident lookup / *what happened* (`show/list incidents`, `recent alerts`, time-range queries, **and casual "any alerts…?" / "any alerts so far today?" / "what's been triggered?" phrasings**). Bare `alerts` (without `rule`/`subscription`/`active rules`) means **incidents** → Workflow C, never Workflow D.
5. **Workflow A (CV)** — CV deployment handling for anything not matched above.

> **`alerts` vs `alert rules` (C vs D) — pick exactly one, never both:**
> *what happened / has been triggered* (incidents) → **Workflow C**
> (`POST /generate`). *What

**Disambiguation (B vs D):** if a sensor is named with start/monitor language but the detection condition is unclear, ask:
> *"Do you want me to (a) create a persistent alert rule on Alert Bridge that keeps running until you delete it, or (b) start a one-time monitoring session via the VSS Agent?"*

**Stop routing (B vs D):** "Stop the **&lt;type&gt;** alert" (names an `alert_type`/condition like PPE, collision, fire) = stop a **subscription rule** → **Workflow D** (find via `GET /api/v1/realtime`, then the two-step stop/confirm protocol in `references/alert-subscriptions.md`; do **not** call `POST /generate`). A bare "stop real-time alert / stop monitoring on &lt;sensor&gt;" with **no** type qualifier = Workflow B.

If a prompt mixes workflows ("start monitoring and send to Slack"), ask one clarifying question to split execution order.

### CV-mode refusal text for D and E intents

When the deployed mode is CV verification and the user asks for an alert-subscription or Slack/notification intent, refuse with this message verbatim:

> "Alert subscriptions and Slack notifications are only supported in VLM real-time mode. Your current deployment is `<CV verification | not deployed>`. To use these features, redeploy with `/vss-deploy-profile -p alerts -m real-time` (note: switching tears down current CV monitoring)."

No auto-redeploy. The user decides whether to switch modes.

---

## Prereq for Either Mode: Sensor Must Be in VIOS

Both modes require the camera registered in VIOS first (via the `vss-manage-video-io-storage` skill):

- RTSP URL / IP camera → add it with `POST /sensor/add` (that skill's Section 6); record the `sensorId` / name.
- Named existing sensor → confirm it appears in `GET /sensor/list` before proceeding.

On **CV**, adding the RTSP is the *entire* onboarding step (pipeline auto-picks it up). On **VLM**, it is a prerequisite to Workflow B.

---

## The Agent `/generate` Endpoint

All VLM-flow actions and all query actions go through the VSS Agent's natural-language endpoint:

```bash
AGENT="http://<AGENT_ENDPOINT>"   # default http://localhost:8000 on the alerts profile

curl -s -X POST "$AGENT/generate" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input_message": "<natural-language request>"}' | jq .
```

**Endpoint resolution:** use the agent endpoint from the active VSS deployment context. If unavailable, ask the user. Do not discover via filesystem.

**Availability check:** `curl -sf --connect-timeout 5 "$AGENT/docs"`.

Do not call the `rtvi-vlm` microservice endpoints directly — always go through the agent. The agent internally dispatches to `rtvi_vlm_alert`, `rtvi_prompt_gen`, and `video_analytics_mcp.get_incidents`.

---

## Workflow A — CV Mode (`-m verification` / `MODE=2d_cv`)

CV alerts are **deployment-driven, not request-driven** — there is no agent
call to "create" one.

1. Check if the sensor is in VIOS via `vss-manage-video-io-storage`'s `GET /sensor/list` (idempotent — don't blindly `POST /sensor/add`).
2. If missing, onboard via that skill's `POST /sensor/add`. The CV pipeline auto-picks up the stream once registered and online.
3. Confirm online: `curl -s "http://<VST_ENDPOINT>/vst/api/v1/sensor/<sensorId>/status" | jq .`
4. Alerts land in Elasticsearch (Behavior Analytics → `alert-bridge` verification per `alert_type_config.json`). Query with **Workflow C**.

A static-CV-pipeline alert on a VLM-only deployment is a mode mismatch — see the routing table above.
