signoz-setting-up-observability: Data & Analytics for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Run the full end-to-end observability setup for a service after its telemetry is already flowing into SigNoz — sequence SLI/SLO capture, data exploration (RED/USE), focused dashboards, saved Explorer views, burn-rate and absent-data alerts, and a tuning loop into one opinionated, SLO-aware workflow. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user says "set up observability after ingestion", "now that data is flowing, give me dashboards and alerts", "onboard this service to SigNoz end-to-end", "I want the full monitoring setup for X", or asks to go from raw telemetry to a complete dashboard + alerts + views package — even if they don't say "observability" explicitly. This is the orchestration layer: for a single artifact (just a dashboard, just one alert, just a saved view, or one static threshold alert, or a one-off query) use signoz-creating-dashboards, signoz-creating-alerts, signoz-managing-views, or signoz-generating-queries directly.

Setting Up Observability After Ingestion

Take a service from "telemetry is flowing into SigNoz" to "I have a dashboard, alerts, saved views, and a tuning loop." This skill is an orchestration layer, not a standalone reference — the mechanical work lives in the sibling SigNoz skills and the MCP tools/resources hold the current payload schemas. This skill sequences them and supplies the judgment calls (scope, SLOs, thresholds, what to skip) that no single skill owns; it deliberately does not restate payload schemas or field rules, so read the relevant signoz://… resource before composing any payload.

Use this when traces, logs, or metrics are already landing in SigNoz and you want an opinionated, SLO-aware setup — not when you're still wiring up the SDK. Audience: two consumers — an autonomous AI SRE agent that runs without a human in the loop (e.g. an in-product SigNoz assistant), and an engineer at a Claude Code / Codex / Cursor prompt. Both follow the same flow; where a step needs a human decision (Phase 1 triage, Phase 5 sign-off), the host decides how to surface it, and an autonomous host fills the gap from upstream context instead of blocking.

Prerequisites

This skill calls SigNoz MCP server tools (signoz_list_services, signoz_list_dashboards, signoz_get_field_keys, signoz_execute_builder_query, signoz_create_dashboard, signoz_create_alert, signoz_create_view, etc.) and delegates to sibling skills. Before running the workflow, confirm the signoz_* tools are available. If they are not, the SigNoz MCP server is not installed or configured — run signoz-mcp-setup first. Do not fall back to raw HTTP calls or fabricate payloads.

When to use

Use this skill when the user wants the whole post-ingestion setup: SLI/SLO → exploration → dashboard → views → alerts → tuning, in any combination of those deliverables, sequenced as one workflow.

Do NOT use this skill when the user wants a single artifact — hand off directly:

Just a dashboard → signoz-creating-dashboards.
Just one static / threshold alert or notification rule → signoz-creating-alerts. (But SLO / burn-rate / error-budget alerting — even with no dashboard — stays here: it needs the SLI/SLO capture and burn-rate judgment in the phases below.)
Just a saved Explorer view → signoz-managing-views.
A one-off exploratory query → signoz-generating-queries.
A concept/doc lookup (SRE methods, OTel conventions, burn-rate math) → signoz-searching-docs / signoz_search_docs.

Each phase below points to the skill that does the mechanical work; this skill owns the order and the decisions.

Phase 1 — Triage scope (don't skip)

Before touching any tools, get these answers. Each unblocks a downstream phase.

What does this service do, and does it call external services? One or two sentences. This shapes the SLI (what "working" means) and flags downstream dependencies worth monitoring — if it calls a DB, cache, queue, or third-party API, plan to watch the client-span latency and error rate to each dependency, since a healthy service fronting a sick dependency still fails users.
What deliverables? dashboard / alerts / saved views — any combination.
Infra monitoring too? (optional — ask) If the service runs on infra you own (k8s pods, VMs, containers) shipping telemetry under the same resource attributes, you can add USE/infra panels (CPU, memory, restarts, network) with no extra instrumentation — see Phase 3. Skip if a platform team already owns the host/cluster dashboard.
Which signals are emitted? traces / logs / metrics. Drives which signoz_get_field_keys calls you make.
What's the canonical resource filter? Usually service.name. Confirm the exact value before querying — don't guess.
What does success look like for users of this service? (Sets up Phase 2.) Even a one-line answer ("requests under 1s with no 5xx") is enough — it becomes the SLI.
Who owns it, and is there a runbook? Owning team, service tier, and the prod/staging scope — these become alert labels and annotations in Phase 8. Capture a real runbook URL if one exists; never invent one.

Offer "explore data first" as an explicit option.

Phase 1.5 — Inventory what already exists

Each create sub-skill runs its own rigorous duplicate-check when invoked (signoz-creating-dashboards lists dashboards; signoz-creating-alerts paginates alert rules) — don't re-implement that here. The orchestration value is a single up-front sweep so you sequence around what exists instead of hitting collisions mid-build:

Is the service reporting, and under what exact name? (signoz_list_services.) This name is the resource filter every later phase reuses — pin it before anything else.
Does a dashboard / alert / saved view already exist for it? If so, plan to extend it — route to signoz-modifying-dashboards, signoz-managing-views, or signoz_update_alert — rather than standing up a parallel one. signoz-explaining-dashboards / signoz-explaining-alerts summarize anything you're inheriting.
Is there a notification channel to reuse? (Carried into Phase 5.)

Paginate every inventory list until a match is found or all pages are exhausted. When a view's sourcePage is unknown, search traces, logs, metrics, and meter separately.

Learn just enough to decide extend-vs-create per artifact; leave the exhaustive listing to the sub-skills.

Phase 2 — Capture the SLI/SLO before designing anything

This is the gating artifact. Without it, alerts become "the metric crossed a line" instead of "the user-visible error budget is being burnt fast enough to matter."

Collect:

SLI formula — good events / valid events. E.g. successful checkout requests / total checkout requests (excluding health checks, synthetic probes, scanner traffic, and non-user long-poll endpoints).
SLO target — e.g. 99.5% over a 30-day rolling window.
Exclusions — what doesn't count as a valid event (synthetic probes, scanner traffic, streaming endpoints).
Error budget allowance — 1 - SLO, derived from the target. Remaining budget additionally requires observed bad/valid events over the SLO window.

Carry these forward — they feed Phase 8 directly. (SLO/burn-rate background: signoz-searching-docs.)

Phase 3 — Explore what's actually there (RED + USE coverage)

signoz-generating-queries owns the exploration itself — the discover-before-querying rule, every discovery call (signoz_list_metrics, signoz_get_field_keys, signoz_get_field_values, signoz_get_service_top_operations), tool choice, and the no-data distinction. Drive it to inventory the data; don't restate its query mechanics here. (signoz-searching-docs covers the RED/USE methods and SigNoz field semantics if you need a refresher.)

The orchestration job is to map what it finds onto RED (Request rate, Errors, Duration) and USE (Utilization, Saturation, Errors), spot the gaps, and make the judgment calls generating-queries doesn't:

Coverage checklist (RED for services, USE for infra/resources):

Rate — request/call rate per operation
Errors — error count or rate per operation
Duration — p50/p95/p99 latency from spans or histograms
Utilization — CPU, memory, disk, queue depth, pool occupancy (only if you own the infra)
Saturation — request queue, GC pause, connection pool wait
Errors at the resource layer — disk failures, evictions, OOM kills

A missing signal (e.g. no error count) is an instrumentation gap — flag it before building around what's there.

Span metrics back alerts, not just panels. When generating-queries surfaces SigNoz's trace→metrics output (signoz_calls_total, signoz_latency_*, DB/external-call span metrics), prefer it as the RED source for both the dashboard and the burn-rate alerts: it's pre-aggregated and cheap, whereas raw trace aggregation over a long alert window is expensive and an unstable alert source. (Confirm exact metric/label names via discovery — don't hardcode.)

Render any counter by the volume you just measured, not by reflex. Not throughput-specific — it applies to every counter you'll graph (request rate, error counts, restarts, OOM kills, evictions), and low-volume errors and resource-layer events are the usual victims, not just requests. Per-second rate suits steady high-volume signals; where Phase 3 shows the count is low, bursty, or human-paced, a /sec graph renders as unreadable tiny decimals (0.03/s). Use the symptom, not a hard threshold: if per-second shows as fractions, pass that to Phase 6 as intent — render a per-interval increase count over a wider window (24h–7d), not a rate. (Gauges — CPU, memory, queue depth — are already absolute; this is a counter concern.) It's a deliberate tradeoff (increase rescales its y-axis with the selected range), so make it a conscious call, never a blanket default either way. signoz-creating-dashboards owns the rate-vs-increase mechanic.

Verify the infra→service join (the USE half). Don't assume service.name is present on host/container/k8s metrics — they often carry only host.name / k8s.pod.name / k8s.node.name, and k8s.deployment.name may differ from service.name. Have generating-queries confirm which identity attribute actually joins the infra metric to this workload, then scope USE panels by that confirmed attribute. If nothing joins, ask the user for the workload selector rather than guessing.

Discover downstream topology from traces, not the human's memory (Phase 1 Q1). The gotcha worth carrying: client spans are kind_string = 'Client' in the SigNoz v5 schema — not kind, not SPAN_KIND_CLIENT — so verify the field/value, then discover the populated dependency attributes with signoz_get_field_keys. Current examples include http_url, server.address, db.system, and db.operation; use only fields the tenant actually returns.

Multi-tenant note — if the service serves multiple tenants/regions, look for a stable non-PII tenant/region attribute (e.g. tenant.id, region, deployment.environment) — avoid raw URLs or user identifiers. Per-tenant breakdowns belong on the dashboard; aggregate-only views hide single-tenant outages.

SLI hygiene — confirm the events your SLI counts carry the right labels. For a broad denominator ("all requests to the service"), scanner traffic on /.env*, /.git* is real but should be excluded — it's not user traffic. The exclusion predicate should only subtract scanners and stay neutral otherwise, so use the bare negation — <url_or_route_field> NOT REGEXP '/\\.(env|git|aws|ssh|well-known)' — not EXISTS AND …. SigNoz negative

# Setting Up Observability After Ingestion

Take a service from "telemetry is flowing into SigNoz" to "I have a
dashboard, alerts, saved views, and a tuning loop." This skill is an
**orchestration layer, not a standalone reference** — the mechanical
work lives in the sibling SigNoz skills and the MCP tools/resources hold
the current payload schemas. This skill sequences them and supplies the
judgment calls (scope, SLOs, thresholds, what to skip) that no single
skill owns; it deliberately does not restate payload schemas or field
rules, so read the relevant `signoz://…` resource before composing any
payload.

Use this when traces, logs, or metrics are **already landing** in
SigNoz and you want an opinionated, SLO-aware setup — not when you're
still wiring up the SDK. Audience: two consumers — an autonomous AI SRE
agent that runs without a human in the loop (e.g. an in-product SigNoz
assistant), and an engineer at a Claude Code / Codex / Cursor prompt.
Both follow the same flow; where a step needs a human decision (Phase 1
triage, Phase 5 sign-off), the host decides how to surface it, and an
autonomous host fills the gap from upstream context instead of blocking.

## Prerequisites

This skill calls SigNoz MCP server tools (`signoz_list_services`,
`signoz_list_dashboards`, `signoz_get_field_keys`,
`signoz_execute_builder_query`, `signoz_create_dashboard`,
`signoz_create_alert`, `signoz_create_view`, etc.) and
delegates to sibling skills. Before running the workflow, confirm the
`signoz_*` tools are available. If they are not, the SigNoz MCP
server is not installed or configured — run `signoz-mcp-setup` first. Do
not fall back to raw HTTP calls or fabricate payloads.

## When to use

Use this skill when the user wants the **whole post-ingestion setup**:
SLI/SLO → exploration → dashboard → views → alerts → tuning, in any
combination of those deliverables, sequenced as one workflow.

Do NOT use this skill when the user wants a single artifact — hand off
directly:
- Just a dashboard → `signoz-creating-dashboards`.
- Just one static / threshold alert or notification rule →
`signoz-creating-alerts`. (But SLO / burn-rate / error-budget
alerting — even with no dashboard — stays *here*: it needs the SLI/SLO
capture and burn-rate judgment in the phases below.)
- Just a saved Explorer view → `signoz-managing-views`.
- A one-off exploratory query → `signoz-generating-queries`.
- A concept/doc lookup (SRE methods, OTel conventions, burn-rate math)
→ `signoz-searching-docs` / `signoz_search_docs`.

Each phase below points to the skill that does the mechanical work; this
skill owns the order and the decisions.

## Phase 1 — Triage scope (don't skip)

Before touching any tools, get these answers. Each unblocks a downstream
phase.

1. **What does this service do, and does it call external services?**
One or two sentences. This shapes the SLI (what "working" means) and
flags downstream dependencies worth monitoring — if it calls a DB,
cache, queue, or third-party API, plan to watch the client-span
latency and error rate to each dependency, since a healthy service
fronting a sick dependency still fails users.
2. **What deliverables?** dashboard / alerts / saved views — any
combination.
3. **Infra monitoring too? (optional — ask)** If the service runs on

the same resource attributes, you can add USE/infra panels (CPU,

3. Skip if a platform team already owns the host/cluster dashboard.
4. **Which signals are emitted?** traces / logs / metrics. Drives which
`signoz_get_field_keys` calls you make.
5. **What's the canonical resource filter?** Usually `service.name`.
Confirm the exact value before querying — don't guess.
6. **What does success look like for users of this service?** (Sets up
Phase 2.) Even a one-line answer ("requests under 1s with no 5xx") is
enough — it becomes the SLI.
7. **Who owns it, and is there a runbook?** Owning team, service tier,
and the prod/staging scope — these become alert labels and
annotations in Phase 8. Capture a real runbook URL if one exists;
never invent one.

Offer "explore data first" as an explicit option.

## Phase 1.5 — Inventory what already exists

Each create sub-skill runs its own rigorous duplicate-check when invoked
(`signoz-creating-dashboards` lists dashboards; `signoz-creating-alerts`
paginates alert rules) — don't re-implement that here. The orchestration
value is a single up-front sweep so you *sequence around* what exists
instead of hitting collisions mid-build:

- **Is the service reporting, and under what exact name?**
(`signoz_list_services`.) This name is the resource filter every
later phase reuses — pin it before anything else.
- **Does a dashboard / alert / saved view already exist for it?** If so,
plan to **extend** it — route to `signoz-modifying-dashboards`,
`signoz-managing-views`, or `signoz_update_alert` — rather than
standing up a parallel one. `signoz-explaining-dashboards` /
`signoz-explaining-alerts` summarize anything you're inheriting.
- **Is there a notification channel to reuse?** (Carried into Phase 5.)

Paginate every inventory list until a match is found or all pages are
exhausted. When a view's `sourcePage` is unknown, search traces, logs, metrics,
and meter separately.

Learn just enough to decide extend-vs-create per artifact; leave the
exhaustive listing to the sub-skills.

## Phase 2 — Capture the SLI/SLO before designing anything

This is the gating artifact. Without it, alerts become "the metric
crossed a line" instead of "the user-visible error budget is being burnt
fast enough to matter."

Collect:
- **SLI formula** — `good events / valid events`. E.g. *successful
checkout requests / total checkout requests* (excluding health checks,
synthetic probes, scanner traffic, and non-user long-poll endpoints).
- **SLO target** — e.g. 99.5% over a 30-day rolling window.
- **Exclusions** — what doesn't count as a valid event (synthetic
probes, scanner traffic, streaming endpoints).
- **Error budget allowance** — `1 - SLO`, derived from the target. Remaining
budget additionally requires observed bad/valid events over the SLO window.

Carry these forward — they feed Phase 8 directly. (SLO/burn-rate
background: `signoz-searching-docs`.)

## Phase 3 — Explore what's actually there (RED + USE coverage)

`signoz-generating-queries` owns the exploration itself — the
discover-before-querying rule, every discovery call
(`signoz_list_metrics`, `signoz_get_field_keys`,
`signoz_get_field_values`,
`signoz_get_service_top_operations`), tool choice, and the
no-data distinction. Drive it to inventory the data; don't restate its
query mechanics here. (`signoz-searching-docs` covers the RED/USE methods
and SigNoz field semantics if you need a refresher.)

The orchestration job is to map what it finds onto **RED** (Request
rate, Errors, Duration) and **USE** (Utilization, Saturation, Errors),
spot the gaps, and make the judgment calls generating-queries doesn't:

**Coverage checklist** (RED for services, USE for infra/resources):

- [ ] **R**ate — request/call rate per operation
- [ ] **E**rrors — error count or rate per operation
- [ ] **D**uration — p50/p95/p99 latency from spans or histograms
- [ ] **U**tilization — CPU, memory, disk, queue depth, pool occupancy (only if you own the infra)
- [ ] **S**aturation — request queue, GC pause, connection pool wait
- [ ] **E**rrors at the resource layer — disk failures, evictions, OOM kills

A missing signal (e.g. no error count) is an **instrumentation gap** —
flag it before building around what's there.

**Span metrics back alerts, not just panels.** When generating-queries
surfaces SigNoz's trace→metrics output (`signoz_calls_total`,
`signoz_latency_*`, DB/external-call span metrics), prefer it as the RED

(`increase` rescales its y-axis with the selected range), so make it a
conscious call, never a blanket default either way.
`signoz-creating-dashboards` owns the rate-vs-increase mechanic.

**Verify the infra→service join (the USE half).** Don't assume
`service.name` is present on host/container/k8s metrics — they often
carry only `host.name` / `k8s.pod.name` / `k8s.node.name`, and
`k8s.deployment.name` may differ from `service.name`. Have
generating-queries confirm which identity attribute actually joins the

attribute. If nothing joins, ask the user for the workload selector
rather than guessing.

**Discover downstream topology from traces, not the human's memory**

Skill purpose: Run the full end-to-end observability setup for a service after its telemetry is already flowing into SigNoz — sequence SLI/SLO capture, data exploration (RED/USE), focused dashboards, saved Explorer views, burn-rate and absent-data alerts, and a tuning loop into one opinionated, SLO-aware workflow. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user says \"set up observability after ingestion\", \"now that data is flowing, give me dashboards and alerts\", \"onboard this service to SigNoz end-to-end\", \"I want the full monitoring setup for X\", or asks to go from raw telemetry to a complete dashboard + alerts + views package — even if they don't say \"observability\" explicitly. This is the orchestration layer: for a single artifact (just a dashboard, just one alert, just a saved view, or one static threshold alert, or a one-off query) use signoz-creating-dashboards, signoz-creating-alerts, signoz-managing-views, or signoz-generating-queries directly.
