## What it does

The skill documents the `cx alerts` commands and tells the agent when to reach for them: `list`, `get <id>`, `create`, `delete <id>`, `enable <id>`, `disable <id>`, plus `events` and `event-stats`. A separate group covers `suppression-rules` — list, get, create, update, delete — the rules that mute alerts during maintenance windows.

Creation runs from JSON. The agent asks what you want to alert on (logs, metrics or traces) and which priority from P1 to P5, then builds a payload under `alertDefProperties`. A shortcut worth knowing: pull an existing rule with `cx alerts get <id> -o json`, edit it, send it back. The type is a string enum such as `ALERT_DEF_TYPE_LOGS_THRESHOLD`, and the type config sits as a sibling field, not nested inside it.

The skill assumes a working `cx` CLI pointed at your Coralogix account. Without it nothing runs, so check that first. Schema details live in `references/alert-schemas.md`, and assembling valid JSON without it is rough.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add coralogix/cx-cli --skill cx-alerts -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cx-alerts/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cx-alerts/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add coralogix/cx-cli --skill cx-alerts -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cx-alerts/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add coralogix/cx-cli --skill cx-alerts -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cx-alerts/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install coralogix/cx-cli cx-alerts
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/cx-alerts/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add coralogix/cx-cli --skill cx-alerts -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/coralogix/cx-cli --path skills/cx-alerts
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/cx-alerts/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add coralogix/cx-cli --skill cx-alerts -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/coralogix/cx-cli/tree/HEAD/skills/cx-alerts/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- see which alerts are currently ALERTING
- create a threshold alert on a spike in error logs
- disable a noisy rule and re-enable it later
- set up suppression for a maintenance window
- dump alert definitions as JSON for review

## Example prompts
- list every alert with ALERTING status
- create a metric alert when CPU stays above 90 for 5 minutes
- disable the alert with this id, it keeps firing

# Alert Management Skill

Use this skill to list, inspect, create, delete, enable, and disable Coralogix alert definitions using the `cx alerts` CLI commands.

## CLI Commands

| Command | Purpose | Key flags |
|---|---|---|
| `cx alerts list` | List all alert definitions | `--name <filter>` |
| `cx alerts get <id>` | Get a single alert definition by ID | - |
| `cx alerts create` | Create an alert from a JSON definition | `--from-file <path>` (default: stdin) |
| `cx alerts delete <id>` | Delete an alert | - |
| `cx alerts enable <id>` | Enable an alert | - |
| `cx alerts disable <id>` | Disable an alert | - |
| `cx alerts events` | List events; use alert-version scoped endpoint when filtering | `--alert-version-id`, `--start`, `--end` |
| `cx alerts event-stats` | Get alert event statistics | - |
| `cx alerts suppression-rules list` | List suppression rules | - |
| `cx alerts suppression-rules get <id>` | Get a suppression rule | - |
| `cx alerts suppression-rules create` | Create a suppression rule | `--from-file <path>` |
| `cx alerts suppression-rules update` | Update a suppression rule | `--from-file <path>` |
| `cx alerts suppression-rules delete <id>` | Delete a suppression rule | - |

**Output format:** append `-o json` or `-o toon` to `list`, `get`, and `create` commands for machine-readable output.

**Multi-profile:** use `-p <profile>` (repeatable) to target multiple profiles simultaneously.

| `ALERT_DEF_TYPE_LOGS_THRESHOLD` | Logs Threshold | Trigger when log count exceeds a threshold in a time window |
| `ALERT_DEF_TYPE_LOGS_ANOMALY` | Logs Anomaly | ML-based anomaly detection on log volume |
| `ALERT_DEF_TYPE_LOGS_RATIO_THRESHOLD` | Logs Ratio Threshold | Trigger on ratio between two log queries |
| `ALERT_DEF_TYPE_LOGS_NEW_VALUE` | Logs New Value | Trigger when a new value appears in a field |
| `ALERT_DEF_TYPE_LOGS_UNIQUE_COUNT` | Logs Unique Count | Trigger on unique value count threshold |
| `ALERT_DEF_TYPE_LOGS_TIME_RELATIVE_THRESHOLD` | Logs Time Relative | Compare current vs past time window |
