## What it does

The skill documents five `cx service-catalog` commands. `entity-types` shows which entity types your account actually has data for, `schema` returns the column and label ids for one type, `entities` lists known entities, `data` aggregates columns across every entity of a type, and `entity-data` drills into one named entity. Every command is read-only and supports `-o json` or `-o toon`.

The workflow runs in four steps: `entity-types`, then `schema`, then `entities`, then the data call. Each step feeds the next one, so skipping ahead usually wastes a request. Entity types accept short forms like `service`, `k8s-pod` or `jvm-gc`; case and hyphens do not matter, and an unknown value is rejected client-side before anything is sent. `--column` is required and repeatable, but columns belong to a single entity type — a column that works for `service` may not exist for `k8s-pod`. Re-check `schema` whenever you switch types.

\`--filter` repeats across distinct labels only; multiple values for the same label go in one comma-separated flag. `--limit`, `--sort-column` and `--sort-order` apply to `--aggregation table` alone, and the CLI refuses that combination with `timeseries` up front instead of letting the backend drop the flags silently. A column-level error is not an empty result — treat a non-zero exit as something to investigate.

## Requirements
- Works with: Kubernetes

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add coralogix/cx-cli --skill cx-service-catalog -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-service-catalog/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- check service latency for the last hour
- find Kubernetes pods using the most memory
- compare services by error rate
- see which entity types the account has data for
- chart service health over time

## Example prompts
- list the services in the service catalog
- what entity types exist in this account?
- show me latency for checkout/api over the last 24 hours

  Query Coralogix's Service Catalog (APM v2 entities) with the `cx service-catalog`
  CLI — discover entity types, list known entities, check their schema, and pull
  aggregated or timeseries data for services, databases, operations, JVMs, and
  Kubernetes pods. Use when the user asks to "list services", "what entity types
  exist", "show me service latency", "check error rate for a service",
  "which pods are using the most memory", "database operation performance",
  "JVM GC pauses", "service health over time", "compare services by latency",
  "what columns are available for this entity type", "service catalog schema",
  or wants to explore APM entities and their metrics.

# Service Catalog Skill

Use this skill to discover and query **Service Catalog entities** — services,
databases, operations, database operations, JVMs, JVM GC, Kubernetes pods, and
transactions — and their columnar metrics (latency, error rate, health, resource
usage, etc.) via the v2 Service Catalog API.

## CLI Commands

| Command | Purpose | Key flags |
|---|---|---|
| `cx service-catalog entity-types` | List entity types this account has data for | - |
| `cx service-catalog schema <entity-type>` | Columns/labels schema for one entity type | - |
| `cx service-catalog entities <entity-type>` | Known entities of one type (e.g. service names) | - |
| `cx service-catalog data <entity-type>` | Aggregated column data across every entity of a type | `--start`, `--end`, `--column` (required, repeatable); `--group-by`, `--filter`, `--aggregation`, `--limit`, `--sort-column`, `--sort-order` |
| `cx service-catalog entity-data <entity-type> <entity-id>` | Column data for one named entity (drilldown) | `--start`, `--end`, `--column` (required, repeatable); `--group-by`, `--filter`, `--aggregation` |

- All commands are **read-only** and support `-o json` / `-o toon` for
  structured output.
- **Entity type accepts short forms**: `service`, `database`, `operation`,
  `database-operation`, `jvm`, `jvm-gc`, `k8s-pod`, `transaction` (case-insensitive,
  hyphens or underscores). The full proto name (`ENTITY_TYPE_K8S_POD`) also works.
  Unknown values are rejected client-side before any request is made.
- `--start`/`--end` accept `now`, `now-1h`-style relative expressions, or
  RFC3339 timestamps.
