SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Diagnoses why a SigNoz alert fired by correlating the alert's own signal with neighbor signals (error rate, latency, throughput, CPU/memory), traces, and logs around the fire window, surfacing a ranked list of likely causes with evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tiered RCA flow: Tier 1 validates fire, Tier 2 compares neighbor signals, Tier 3 digs traces and logs.
  • Evidence-grounded output: each claim anchored to MCP queries and results.
  • Read-only RCA: safe for incident response and postmortems.

Quick Start

Run the full three-tier RCA flow on the most recent fire and present a structured root-cause report with evidence and recommended next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about signoz-investigating-alerts

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I investigate why a SigNoz alert fired?▼

Investigate a SigNoz alert by correlating the alert's signal with neighbor metrics, traces, and logs around the fire window. This root-cause analysis applies a tiered flow to surface ranked likely causes with evidence.

What is multi-signal correlation for alert root-cause analysis?▼

Multi-signal correlation for root-cause analysis validates the alert fire, compares neighbor signals like error rate and latency, then digs traces and logs to produce an evidence-grounded report of likely causes.

How do I correlate logs and traces with metrics during an alert fire window?▼

Correlate logs, traces, and metrics by applying a tiered RCA flow that validates the fire, compares neighbor signals, and digs into traces and logs, anchoring every claim to MCP query results.

Does this alert investigation require write access to the observability platform?▼

No, this alert investigation enforces read-only MCP constraints, making it safe for live incident response and postmortems without risking changes to your observability data.

What's the best way to run a structured root-cause analysis on a recent alert?▼

Run a structured root-cause analysis by executing the full three-tier RCA flow on the most recent fire, which produces a structured report with evidence and recommended next steps.
