Elastic skills

Manage Serverless network security (traffic filters): create, update, and delete IP filters and AWS PrivateLink VPC filters. Use when restricting network access or configuring private connectivity.

Provision and operate Elastic Cloud infrastructure: create, connect to, update, and delete Serverless projects (Elasticsearch, Observability, Security); manage traffic filters (IP and AWS PrivateLink network security); and manage the lifecycle of Elastic Cloud Hosted deployments. Use when creating or performing day-2 operations on serverless projects or hosted deployments, or restricting their network access.

Enable, configure, and query Elasticsearch security audit logs. Use when the task involves audit logging setup, event filtering, or investigating security incidents like failed logins.

Migrate a .NET application from the classic Elastic APM .NET agent to the EDOT .NET SDK. Use when switching from Elastic.Apm.* packages to Elastic.OpenTelemetry.

Instrument a Java application with the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry (EDOT) Java agent for automatic tracing, metrics, and logs. Use when adding observability to a Java service that has no existing APM agent.

Triage Elastic Security alerts — gather context, classify threats, create cases, and acknowledge. Use when triaging alerts, performing SOC analysis, or investigating detections.

Diagnose and resolve Elasticsearch security errors: 401/403 failures, TLS problems, expired API keys, role mapping mismatches, and Kibana login issues. Use when the user reports a security error.

Create Vega and Vega-Lite visualizations with ES|QL data sources in Kibana. Use when building custom charts, dashboards, or programmatic panel layouts beyond standard Lens charts.

Triage a degraded or suspect service end to end: read SLO status and burn rate, check active alerting rules and ML anomalies, measure throughput, latency, and error rate, assess dependency health and infrastructure saturation, and funnel logs down to the failures that explain it. Use when someone asks whether a service is healthy, why it is slow or erroring, what is in its logs, or which attribute distinguishes the requests that are failing. Also use when someone asks for the query behind any of those signals — throughput, latency percentiles, error rate, dependency health, or log volume — over APM/OTel traces, metrics, or logs.

Migrate a Java application from the classic Elastic APM Java agent to the EDOT Java agent. Use when switching from elastic-apm-agent.jar to elastic-otel-javaagent.jar.

Configures Elastic Cloud authentication and environment defaults. Use when setting up EC_API_KEY, configuring Cloud API access, or when another cloud skill requires credentials.

Generate sample security events, attack scenarios, and synthetic alerts for Elastic Security. Use when demoing, populating dashboards, testing detection rules, or setting up a POC.

Create and manage Kibana Dashboards and Lens visualizations. Use when you need to define dashboards and visualizations declaratively, version control them, or automate their deployment.

Load CSV and JSON files into Elasticsearch indices using the bulk API and explicit mappings when field types matter. Use when batch-importing local files, converting CSV rows or JSON arrays to NDJSON bulk format, or verifying document counts and mappings after ingest — not for Logstash pipelines, Beats, custom scripts, or index-to-index reindex.

Answer questions about LLM and agentic-application behavior from data already ingested into Elastic: latency and error rate, token and cost utilization, response quality and guardrail events, and agentic call-chain orchestration. Use when the user asks about LLM monitoring, GenAI observability, token spend or AI cost, model latency, prompt or guardrail failures, or how an agent's tool-call chain executed.

Manage Elasticsearch RBAC: native users, roles, role mappings, document- and field-level security. Use when creating users or roles, assigning privileges, or mapping external realms like LDAP/SAML.

Creates Elastic Cloud Serverless projects (Elasticsearch, Observability, or Security) via the REST API, saves credentials to file, and bootstraps a scoped Elasticsearch API key. Use when creating a new serverless project, provisioning a search or observability environment, or spinning up a new Elastic Cloud project.

Instrument a .NET application with the Elastic Distribution of OpenTelemetry (EDOT) .NET SDK for automatic tracing, metrics, and logs. Use when adding observability to a .NET service that has no existing APM agent.

Create and manage SLOs in Elastic Observability using the Kibana API. Use when defining SLIs, setting error budgets, or managing SLO lifecycle.

Ingest and transform data files (CSV/JSON/Parquet/Arrow IPC) into Elasticsearch with stream processing and custom transforms. Use when loading files or batch importing data — not for reindexing, general ingest pipeline design, or bulk API patterns.

List, inspect, enable, disable, and resync Kibana Streams via the REST API. Use when the user needs stream details, ingest settings, query-stream settings, or linked attachments (dashboards, rules, SLOs).

Assess 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.

Authenticate to Elasticsearch using native, file-based, LDAP/AD, SAML, OIDC, Kerberos, JWT, or certificate realms. Use when connecting with credentials, choosing a realm, or managing API keys. Assumes the target realms are already configured.

Enable 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.
