By name: cx-search-dashboard description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "find a dashboard", "search dashboards", "does a dashboard exist for X", "find widgets that query Y", "which dashboards use this field", "find a dashboard about errors", "look up dashboards by description", "search for existing monitoring dashboards", "find widgets that reference a field", or wants to discover existing Coralogix dashboards or widgets using natural-language or field-based search. metadata: version: "0.1.0"
Dashboard Search Skill
Use this skill to discover existing Coralogix dashboards and widgets using semantic or field-based search via the cx dashboards CLI commands. Before creating a new dashboard, always search first to avoid duplication.
CLI Commands
| Command | Purpose | Key flags |
|---|---|---|
cx dashboards search "<description>" |
Find dashboards by natural-language description | --limit |
cx dashboards query-search --description "<text>" |
Find widgets whose queries match a description | --limit |
cx dashboards query-search --field "<field-path>" |
Find all widgets that reference a specific field | --limit |
cx dashboards catalog -o json |
List all dashboards | - |
cx dashboards get <id> -o json |
Get full dashboard definition | - |
Output format: append -o json or -o agents for machine-readable output.
When to Use Each Command
| Goal | Command |
|---|---|
| Check if a dashboard for a service or topic already exists | cx dashboards search |
| Find widgets whose queries cover a topic you care about | cx dashboards query-search --description |
| Find widgets whose queries reference a specific field path | cx dashboards query-search --field |
| Browse all dashboards | cx dashboards catalog |
Examples
Find a dashboard for a service
cx dashboards search "payment service error rate"
cx dashboards search "kubernetes node cpu"
Find widgets whose queries cover a topic
cx dashboards query-search --description "http 5xx error rate"
cx dashboards query-search --description "p99 latency over time"
Find all widgets that reference a field
cx dashboards query-search --field '$d.http.status_code'
cx dashboards query-search --field '$d.kubernetes.pod.name'
This reveals query patterns already in use — useful for reusing existing approaches when adding new widgets.
Inspect and clone a found dashboard
# Get full JSON of a dashboard you found
cx dashboards get <dashboard-id> -o json > dashboard.json
# Modify it, then create a copy
cx dashboards create --from-file dashboard.json
Key Principles
- Search before creating — always run
cx dashboards searchbefore building a new dashboard to avoid duplicates - Use field search for discovery —
cx dashboards query-search --fieldshows how a field is already being queried, which is the fastest way to find reusable PromQL or DataPrime patterns - Description search is fuzzy — the results are ranked by similarity, not exact match; try several phrasings if the first search returns nothing useful
- Use
cx dashboards getto inspect — once you find a relevant dashboard or widget, pull its full JSON to study the query structure
