Example Prompts

Ready-to-use prompts for common investigation, exploration, and creation scenarios

Copy-paste these prompts to get started. Replace placeholders with your own values.

Incident Investigation

Error Investigation

Investigate errors in {{workload}}. Check error rates, identify the most common error patterns in logs and traces, and correlate with recent events.

Root Cause Analysis

Perform a root cause analysis on {{workload}}: Who is affected, What is failing, Where in the call chain, When it started, and Why.

Alert Triage

Triage the alert on {{monitor_name}}. Check the current state, review recent firings, and investigate the underlying cause.

Crashloop Diagnosis

Why is {{workload}} crashlooping? Check for OOMKill events, crash events, and recent changes.


Performance

Slow Endpoints

Find the slowest endpoints in {{workload}}. Show P50, P95, and P99 latency broken down by path.

Slow Database Queries

Find the slowest database queries called by {{workload}}. Show query patterns, durations, and which endpoints trigger them.

Resource Usage

Investigate CPU and memory usage for {{workload}}. Show trends, compare against requests/limits, and flag anomalies.


Data Exploration

Top Errors

Show me the top 10 error-producing workloads in {{namespace}} over the last 24 hours.

Log Patterns

What are the most common log patterns for {{workload}}? Group by pattern and show hit counts.

Change Correlation

What changed recently in {{workload}}? Check for image updates, config changes, scaling events, and restarts.

Dependencies

Show me the dependencies of {{workload}} - which services does it call, and which services call it?


Building

Dashboard

Build a dashboard for {{namespace}} covering: error rates by workload, latency P95, pod restarts, and resource utilization.

Monitor

Create a monitor that fires when error rate on {{workload}} exceeds 5% for more than 5 minutes, with severity S2.

Log Parsing

Parse the unstructured logs from {{workload}}. Extract structured fields from the raw log content.

Drop Rules

Create a drop rule to filter out health check logs from {{workload}}.


Infrastructure

Node Pressure

Are any nodes experiencing CPU, memory, or disk pressure? Show affected nodes and the workloads running on them.

Over-Provisioned Resources

Find workloads in {{namespace}} that are over-provisioned - using significantly less CPU or memory than their requests.

Pod Health

Show me all unhealthy pods in {{namespace}} - crashlooping, pending, or evicted.


Tips for Effective Prompts

  • Be specific about scope - include the workload, namespace, or cluster you care about

  • State what you want to see - "Show me error rates broken down by endpoint" beats "look at errors"

  • Mention the signal - if you specifically want traces vs. logs, say so

  • Ask follow-ups - the Agent keeps context, so narrow down iteratively

  • Use @mentions - reference entities with @name for precise resolution

  • Let the UI do the work - if you're already filtered to the right scope, just ask the question
