Test it

Using "azure-observability". Which Azure service should I use to investigate slow API requests?

Expected outcome:

Use Application Insights for request duration and dependency traces. Use Log Analytics with KQL when you need deeper correlation across logs, exceptions, and infrastructure data.

Using "azure-observability". I need a quick query for recent application failures.

Expected outcome:

The skill can suggest an AppExceptions query filtered to the last hour, projecting time, message, and stack trace, then sorting by newest events.

Using "azure-observability". How should I start TypeScript telemetry setup?

Expected outcome:

Use the Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry package, configure the Azure Monitor exporter options, and keep the Application Insights connection string in a secure environment variable.

The static alerts are false positives caused by Markdown code formatting, read-oriented Azure documentation examples, and normal Azure Monitor SDK configuration. No prompt injection, covert exfiltration intent, destructive command guidance, or automatic network behavior was found in the reviewed files.

What You Can Build

Investigate production telemetry

Find the right Azure service, query pattern, and metric source for errors, latency, or infrastructure symptoms.

Add application instrumentation

Use OpenTelemetry and Application Insights references to plan basic tracing, logging, and sampling setup.

Prepare operational reporting

Choose Log Analytics, KQL, alerts, and workbooks guidance for incident reviews and service health reporting.

Try These Prompts

Choose an Azure observability service

Help me choose between Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics, alerts, and workbooks for this monitoring task: [describe task].

Draft a KQL investigation query

Create a KQL query for Log Analytics that investigates [error, latency, or resource symptom] over [time range]. Explain which table and fields to review.

Plan Application Insights instrumentation

Review my application stack: [language and framework]. Recommend Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry or Application Insights setup steps, sampling guidance, and secure configuration practices.

Design an incident observability workflow

Design an Azure observability workflow for [service name]. Include metrics, traces, logs, KQL queries, alerts, workbook views, and SDK references for ongoing operations.

Best Practices

Confirm the workspace, subscription, and time range before running any telemetry query.
Use projections, aggregations, and limits in KQL to reduce noisy or expensive results.
Store connection strings and credentials outside prompts, logs, and checked-in files.

Avoid

Do not paste production secrets or full connection strings into prompts.
Do not run broad log queries without a time filter or row limit.
Do not rely on metrics alone when traces and logs are needed for root cause analysis.
