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

Output format: append -o json or -o toon for machine-readable output.

When to Use Each Command

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"

Find all widgets that reference a field

This reveals query patterns already in use — useful for reusing existing approaches when adding new widgets.

Inspect and clone a found dashboard

Key Principles

• Search before creating — always run cx dashboards search before building a new dashboard to avoid duplicates
• Use field search for discovery — cx dashboards query-search --field shows 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 get to inspect — once you find a relevant dashboard or widget, pull its full JSON to study the query structure
