SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you quickly find the right guidance inside the OpenObserve documentation when you are configuring, operating, or troubleshooting an observability deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture & Operations: Understand deployment modes (single-node vs HA), component roles, and how data flows end-to-end.
  • Ingestion & Integrations: Learn supported ingestion paths (OTLP, Fluent Bit, Vector, syslog) and how to connect common platforms and services.
  • Querying, Alerts, and Dashboards: Find documentation for stream concepts, SQL functions, alert rules, dashboards, RBAC, and the REST API.

Quick Start

Ask the Skill: Explain how to set up OpenObserve ingestion using OTLP and then how to query the ingested logs with SQL and configure an alert for error-level events.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure OpenObserve ingestion using OTLP?

To configure OpenObserve ingestion using OTLP, you must connect compatible agents to the platform's ingestion endpoints. This routes logs, metrics, and traces directly into OpenObserve streams for downstream querying.

What is the difference between single-node and HA deployment in OpenObserve?

Single-node and HA deployment modes in OpenObserve differ in component distribution and data flow architecture. HA deployments distribute component roles across multiple nodes for high availability, whereas single-node setups run all operations on one instance.

How do I query ingested logs with SQL in OpenObserve?

You query ingested logs with SQL in OpenObserve by applying standard SQL functions to stream data. This enables structured log exploration, allowing you to filter, aggregate, and analyze telemetry data within the observability platform.

Can I configure alerts for error-level events in OpenObserve?

Yes, you can configure alerts for error-level events in OpenObserve by defining alert rules. These rules evaluate SQL query results against your ingested streams to trigger notifications based on specific telemetry conditions.

Does OpenObserve support Fluent Bit and Vector for telemetry ingestion?

Yes, OpenObserve supports telemetry ingestion from Fluent Bit and Vector. You can configure these agents as ingestion pipelines to forward logs, metrics, and traces into the platform's streams for observability monitoring.

How does RBAC work for OpenObserve dashboards and querying?

RBAC in OpenObserve controls user access to dashboards, querying, and platform operations. It restricts capabilities based on assigned roles, ensuring only authorized users can execute SQL queries or modify alert configurations.
