observability-onboarding

Onboard an application into Elastic Observability with the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry (EDOT): route on language and runtime, detect and replace a classic Elastic APM agent, apply the required OTLP configuration, and then verify with ES|QL that traces, metrics, and logs actually arrive under the expected service name. Use when adding observability to a service, migrating off the classic Elastic APM agent, or debugging why an instrumented service is not showing up in Elastic.

kibana-connectorsCreate and manage Kibana connectors for Slack, PagerDuty, Jira, webhooks, and more via REST API or Terraform. Use when configuring third-party integrations or managing connectors as code.0 installs observability-service-reliabilityDesign and operate service reliability targets in Elastic Observability: choose an SLI type and a defensible target, pick a time window and budgeting method, create and maintain SLOs through the Kibana API, attach burn-rate alert rules, and decide when an SLO is the wrong instrument and a threshold rule, anomaly job, or synthetics monitor is right. Use when defining or reviewing SLOs and error budgets, tuning burn-rate alerting, reducing alert noise, or setting up availability monitoring for a user-facing endpoint.0 installs kibana-auditEnable and configure Kibana audit logging for saved object access, logins, and space operations. Use when setting up Kibana audit, filtering events, or correlating Kibana and ES audit logs.0 installs elasticsearch-query-optimizationDiagnose slow Elasticsearch Query DSL searches and propose measured fixes. Use when a search is slow, profile output shows an expensive clause, exact-match filters sit in scoring context, or leading wildcards dominate latency. Ground every recommendation in search profiling — move non-scoring clauses to filter context, eliminate leading wildcards, and re-profile to confirm improvement.0 installs elasticsearch-anomaly-detection-explainerExplain Elasticsearch ML anomaly detection scores, model behavior, and result interpretation. Use when the user asks why a score is high or low, how the model learns, what the numbers mean, or how to troubleshoot unexpected anomaly scores.0 installs observability-service-healthAssess APM service health using SLOs, alerts, ML, throughput, latency, error rate, and dependencies. Use when checking service status, performance, or when the user asks about service health.0 installs
