SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams plan and validate Splunk Observability Cloud Metrics Pipeline Management (MPM) tasks, ensuring metric governance, cardinality control, and clear handoffs to downstream workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan and render MPM intents describing metric usage, action types (aggregate, drop, route, archive), and dimension handling.
  • Produce downstream specs and assets (e.g., deep-native-workflow specs, intent files, and delegate scripts) for integration with supporting skills.
  • Use cases include preparing Metric Pipeline Management plans in Observability Cloud and validating generated artifacts before deployment.

Quick Start

Render a focused Metrics Pipeline Management plan for a chosen metric and action and validate the downstream specs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan Splunk Observability Cloud Metrics Pipeline Management workflows?

To plan Splunk Observability Cloud Metrics Pipeline Management workflows, you provide inputs like realm, metric, action, and dimensions to generate a plan, intent JSON, and a deep-native-workflow spec for rendering and validation.

What is metrics cardinality control in Splunk Observability Cloud?

Metrics cardinality control in Splunk Observability Cloud governs metric usage and routing by applying actions like aggregate, drop, route, or archive to manage high-cardinality data effectively within your pipeline.

How do I validate a Metrics Pipeline Management plan before deployment?

To validate a Metrics Pipeline Management plan before deployment, you render the downstream deep-native-workflow specs and intent files generated by the planning process using companion skills to ensure accuracy.

Can I use this to route and aggregate metrics by specific dimensions?

Yes, you can use this to route and aggregate metrics by specific dimensions by defining your desired action types and dimension handling rules within the generated intent JSON and deep-native-workflow spec.

What inputs are required to generate a Metrics Pipeline Management intent?

Generating a Metrics Pipeline Management intent requires inputs including your realm, target metric, desired action such as aggregate or drop, and the specific metric dimensions you need to govern.

Does Splunk Observability Metrics Pipeline setup support archiving metrics?

Yes, Splunk Observability Metrics Pipeline setup supports archiving metrics by allowing you to specify archive as your action type within the intent generation to route metric data accordingly.
