doca-telemetry-traceback-application

doca-telemetry-traceback-application is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NVIDIA/skills. It costs 207 tokens per session (2,966 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A monitoring application for telemetry on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX network card. It watches measurements over time, checks user-defined thresholds, and records data from before and during an event in a log.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure telemetry rules, monitor long-term trends, investigate empty event logs, and capture the data around an alert.
Why use it?
It helps you detect slow changes and threshold breaches without handling every raw measurement yourself. The saved pre-event history can show what led up to a problem.

About the project

NVIDIA/skills is a catalogue of portable instruction sets that teach coding agents how to use NVIDIA software for robotics, simulation, CUDA, retrieval-augmented generation, and related workflows. Developers install these skills in agents such as Claude Code or Codex, while the catalogue mirrors skills maintained in separate NVIDIA product repositories.

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

doca-telemetry-traceback-application 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 9d 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.

DOCA Telemetry Traceback Application

Scope boundaries

These requests are out of scope: say so, name the skill that owns the request, and stop.

  • the DOCA Telemetry Diag programming API and raw counter reads: doca-telemetry/SKILL.md.
  • DOCA install and bring-up: doca-setup/SKILL.md.
  • which DOCA version is installed, version consistency: doca-version/SKILL.md.
  • general DOCA orientation and documentation lookup: doca-public-knowledge-map/SKILL.md.

Examples

  • “Can I monitor telemetry trends on the DPU without streaming all raw data?” — in scope. Configure rules and sample history depth; do not use the DOCA Telemetry Diag API directly here.
  • “The event log is empty even though a threshold was crossed.” — check rule comparison_type and sample_history_depth; differential rules require depth samples before functioning.
  • “How do I build only this application?” — use the Meson isolation flags; see the tasks companion.
  • “I'm writing my own C code against the DOCA Telemetry Diag library to read counters.” — that part is doca-telemetry's: the application uses Diag internally, but programming the Diag API is not this skill. Name doca-telemetry for it and do not write Diag API code here; handle every other part of the request as this skill describes (for example, --force-ownership still goes through doca-hardware-safety).

Quick facts

The authoritative source for the binary name, flags, and paths is the public DOCA Telemetry Traceback guide for the release; confirm them with the installed tool's --help before quoting any of them. As that guide describes it:

  • Standalone application on a BlueField DPU or ConnectX NIC; four components: DOCA Telemetry Diag instance, sample history circular buffer, rule collection, and events log file.
  • Configuration JSON fields: diag_sample_period_ns, sample_history_depth, data-ids array, and rules array. Rule types are incremental_greater_than (inc_gt), differential_greater_than (dt_gt), differential_less_than (dt_lt), greater_than (gt), and less_than (lt).
  • The circular buffer size is automatically doubled based on the requested depth to ensure equal historical and active event data.
  • Requires sudo/root privileges; mandatory -d PCIe address and -r rules JSON; optional --event-log and --force-ownership.
  • Unsupported data IDs are reported; adjust inputs accordingly.
  • The application stops if the actual sample size or period does not match the requested parameters.
  • --force-ownership changes diag domain ownership; route any use of it through doca-hardware-safety/SKILL.md.

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.
