signoz-creating-alerts

signoz-creating-alerts is a skill for Claude Code from SigNoz/agent-skills. It costs 145 tokens per session (6,321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A SigNoz procedure for creating monitoring alerts from a plain-language request. An alert is an automatic warning when software data meets a condition, such as high latency, many errors, unusual behavior, or stopped data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create alerts for metrics, logs, traces, exceptions, error rates, latency, unusual values, high log volume, or missing data.
Why use it?
It helps turn an operational concern into a configured rule without guessing which service, signal, threshold, or notification behavior was intended.

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

signoz-creating-alerts 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.

Alert Create

Build a SigNoz alert from natural-language intent. Autonomous agents and interactive clients follow the same flow.

Prerequisites

This skill calls SigNoz MCP tools (signoz_create_alert, signoz_list_alert_rules, signoz_get_field_keys, etc.). Confirm they are available; otherwise run signoz-mcp-setup. Never fall back to raw HTTP or fabricate alert configs.

When to use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Create, set up, or configure a new alert rule.
  • Get paged or notified when a metric, log volume, latency, or error rate crosses a threshold.
  • Detect anomalous behavior on a service, host, or signal.
  • Catch silent data loss ("alert if data stops arriving from X").

Do NOT use when the user wants to:

  • Understand what an existing alert monitors → signoz-explaining-alerts.
  • Diagnose why an existing alert fired → signoz-investigating-alerts.
  • Modify thresholds, queries, or routing on an existing alert → call signoz_update_alert directly.

Required inputs (strict)

Alert creation writes to a shared system. Enforce this strict input contract; guesses create noisy alerts on the wrong service:

Input Required Source if missing
Alert intent (NL goal) yes $ARGUMENTS or recent user turn
Resource attribute filter (e.g. service.name, k8s.namespace.name, host.name) yes discover via signoz_get_field_keys + signoz_get_field_values
Threshold value(s) threshold / PromQL rules derive a sensible default and surface in the preview; never substitute one for an absent-only request
Severity inferred from intent default warning; promote to critical only if user said "page", "wake up", "critical"
Notification routing yes direct: verified channel name(s); policy: confirmation that an existing org policy should route this rule

If a required input is missing and undiscoverable, stop before any write and ask through the host's supported clarification UI.

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.
