dt-obs-services

dt-obs-services is a skill for Claude Code from Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai. It costs 173 tokens per session (3,020 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for monitoring application services using request rate, errors, and duration, plus runtime-specific data for Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, PHP, and Go.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to track response times and error rates, measure throughput, detect degradation, compare clusters, check service-level agreement (SLA) compliance, and investigate runtime issues.
Why use it?
It gives you a consistent way to spot slow responses, rising errors, traffic changes, and performance problems across services and clusters.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dt-obs-services scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Application Services Skill

Monitor application service performance, health, and runtime-specific metrics using DQL.


Core Capabilities

1. Service Performance (RED Metrics)

Monitor service Rate, Errors, Duration using metrics-based timeseries queries.

Key Metrics:

  • dt.service.request.response_time - Response time (microseconds)
  • dt.service.request.count - Request count
  • dt.service.request.failure_count - Failed request count

Common Use Cases:

  • Response time monitoring (avg, p50, p95, p99)
  • Error rate tracking and spike detection
  • Traffic analysis (throughput, peaks, growth)
  • Performance degradation detection
  • Multi-cluster comparison

Quick Example:

timeseries {
  p95 = percentile(dt.service.request.response_time, 95),
  total_requests = sum(dt.service.request.count),
  failures = sum(dt.service.request.failure_count)
}, by: {dt.service.name}
| fieldsAdd p95_ms = p95[] / 1000, error_rate_pct = (failures[] * 100.0) / total_requests[]

For detailed queries: See references/service-metrics.md

2. Advanced Service Analysis

Span-based queries for complex scenarios requiring flexible filtering and custom aggregations.

Use Cases:

  • SLA compliance tracking with custom thresholds
  • Service health scoring (multi-dimensional)
  • Operation/endpoint-level performance analysis
  • Custom error classification
  • Failure pattern detection with error details

Quick Example:

fetch spans, from: now() - 1h | filter request.is_root_span == true
| fieldsAdd meets_sla = if(request.is_failed == false AND duration < 3s, 1, else: 0)
| summarize total = count(), sla_compliant = sum(meets_sla), by: {dt.service.name}
| fieldsAdd sla_compliance_pct = (sla_compliant * 100.0) / total

For detailed queries: See references/service-metrics.md

3. Service Messaging Metrics

Monitor message-based service communication (queues, topics).

Key Metrics:

  • dt.service.messaging.publish.count - Messages sent to queues or topics
  • dt.service.messaging.receive.count - Messages received from queues or topics
  • dt.service.messaging.process.count - Messages successfully processed
  • dt.service.messaging.process.failure_count - Messages that failed processing

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dt-obs-services is a skill published in the GitHub repository Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai (137 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 173 tokens to every session and 3,020 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
