SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the common challenges and knowledge gaps when setting up and troubleshooting metrics, alarms, and log collection within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), especially when relying on AI models with limited OCI-specific training.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Metric & Alarm Configuration: Provides correct OCI metric namespaces, MQL examples, and best practices for alarm thresholds, trigger delays, and missing data handling.
  • Log Collection Troubleshooting: Offers a decision tree for diagnosing why logs might not appear in OCI Log Analytics, covering resource configuration, service connectors, and IAM policies.
  • Use Case: You need to create an alarm for high CPU utilization on an OCI compute instance but are unsure of the correct metric namespace and how to handle potential gaps in metric data. This Skill provides the exact MQL query and configuration guidance.

Quick Start

Use the monitoring-operations skill to help me set up an OCI alarm for sustained high CPU utilization on my compute instance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an OCI alarm for high CPU utilization on a compute instance?▼

Diagnosing missing logs in OCI Log Analytics requires checking resource configurations, service connectors, and IAM policies. This Skill offers a decision tree to troubleshoot log ingestion issues and identify where the logging pipeline is failing.

What is the correct metric namespace for OCI monitoring queries?▼

Correct metric namespaces are essential for OCI monitoring queries to return data. This Skill provides expert guidance on identifying the exact namespaces required for your specific OCI resources to ensure your metrics and alarms function properly.

How do I handle missing metric data when configuring OCI alarms?▼

Handling missing metric data in OCI alarms requires specific threshold configurations and trigger delay settings. This Skill addresses common pitfalls with missing data handling to prevent false alerts or missed incidents in your OCI monitoring setup.

Why are my logs not appearing in OCI Log Analytics?▼

Diagnosing missing logs in OCI Log Analytics requires checking resource configurations, service connectors, and IAM policies. This Skill offers a decision tree to troubleshoot log ingestion issues and identify where the logging pipeline is failing.

Can I use OCI CLI commands for troubleshooting metrics and observability?▼

Yes, OCI CLI commands are fully supported for troubleshooting metrics and observability. This Skill leverages OCI CLI commands alongside MQL patterns to provide effective resource monitoring, log collection verification, and alerting analysis.
