Alert Management Skill Use this skill to list, inspect, create, delete, enable, and disable Coralogix alert definitions using the cx alerts CLI commands. CLI Commands Command Purpose Key flags cx alerts list List all alert definitions name <filter cx alerts get <id Get a single alert definition by ID cx alerts create Create an alert from a JSON definition from file <path (default: stdin) cx alerts delete <id Delete an alert cx alerts enable <id Enable an alert cx alerts disable <id Disable an alert cx alerts events List events; use alert version scoped endpoint when filtering alert version id , start , end cx alerts event stats Get alert event statistics cx alerts suppression rules list List suppression rules cx alerts suppression rules get <id Get a suppression rule cx alerts suppression rules create Create a suppression rule from file <path cx alerts suppression rules update Update a suppression rule from file <path cx alerts suppression rules delete <id Delete a suppression rule Output format: append o json or o toon to list , get , and create commands for machine readable output. Multi profile: use p <profile (repeatable) to target multiple profiles simultaneously. Alert Types Reference Coralogix supports 12 alert types: Type enum Human name Description ALERT DEF TYPE LOGS IMMEDIATE Logs Immediate Trigger on every matching log entry ALERT DEF TYPE LOGS THRESHOLD Logs Threshold Trigger when log count exceeds a threshold in a time window ALERT DEF TYPE LOGS ANOMALY Logs Anomaly ML based anomaly detection on log volume ALERT DEF TYPE LOGS RATIO THRESHOLD Logs Ratio Threshold Trigger on ratio between two log queries ALERT DEF TYPE LOGS NEW VALUE Logs New Value Trigger when a new value appears in a field ALERT DEF TYPE LOGS UNIQUE COUNT Logs Unique Count Trigger on unique value count threshold ALERT DEF TYPE LOGS TIME RELATIVE THRESHOLD Logs Time Relative Compare current vs past time window ALERT DEF TYPE METRIC THRESHOLD Metric Threshold Trigger when a PromQL expression crosses a threshold ALERT DEF TYPE METRIC ANOMALY Metric Anomaly ML based anomaly detection on metrics ALERT DEF TYPE TRACING IMMEDIATE Tracing Immediate Trigger on every matching span ALERT DEF TYPE TRACING THRESHOLD Tracing Threshold Trigger when span count exceeds a threshold ALERT DEF TYPE FLOW Flow Sequence based alert combining multiple conditions Priority Levels Always ask the user what priority to use when creating alerts: Priority Use case P1 Critical pages on call immediately P2 High needs attention within the hour P3 Medium investigate during business hours P4 Low informational, check when convenient P5 Info logging/tracking only Create Workflow 1. Ask the user what they want to alert on (logs, metrics, traces) 2. Ask for priority (P1–P5) 3. Build the JSON payload with alertDefProperties use the API wire format (see references/alert schemas.md for all enum values) 4. Tip: use cx alerts get <existing id o json to get a working template, modify it, and pipe into create 5. Create using: echo '<json ' cx alerts create or cx alerts create from file alert.json 6. Verify with cx alerts list name "<alert name " Important structural note: The type field is a string enum (e.g. "ALERT DEF TYPE LOGS THRESHOLD" ), and the alert type config (e.g. "logsThreshold": {...} ) is a sibling field at the same level NOT nested inside type . Example: Logs Threshold Alert Example: Metric Threshold Alert Example: Logs Immediate Alert Investigation Workflow Find firing alerts Inspect a specific alert Disable a noisy alert (temporary mute) Suppression Rules Manage alert suppression rules that mute alerts during maintenance windows or known noisy periods. Command Purpose cx alerts suppression rules list List all suppression rules cx alerts suppression rules get <id Get a suppression rule by ID cx alerts suppression rules create from file Create a suppression rule cx alerts suppression rules update from file Update a suppression rule cx alerts suppression rules delete <id Delete a suppression rule Key Principles Always ask for priority (P1–P5) when creating alerts never assume Use name filter for large accounts with many alerts Use o json with jq for filtering and transformation Use from file to pipe JSON from stdin when constructing alerts programmatically Verify after create always list or get the alert after creation to confirm Disable, don't delete prefer disabling alerts over deletion for auditability Link to a specific alert cx alerts list prints only one "View in Coralogix" link, to the alerts overview page, not a per alert link. To link a user to one specific alert, build <base /alerts/<alert id , where <base is the console URL already seen in a View in Coralogix: <base /... line printed by any cx alerts command this session never fabricate <base yourself.
