# Observability

Category skill for log analytics and trace investigation with OpenSearch.

## Skills

| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| [log-analytics](log-analytics/SKILL.md) | Query and analyze log data — error patterns, log volume, anomaly detection, PPL queries |
| [trace-analytics](trace-analytics/SKILL.md) | Investigate distributed traces — slow spans, error spans, service maps, agent invocations |

## When to Use

| User Intent | Skill |
|---|---|
| Query logs, analyze errors, discover patterns, check log volume | [log-analytics](log-analytics/SKILL.md) |
| Investigate traces, debug spans, analyze latency, service dependencies | [trace-analytics](trace-analytics/SKILL.md) |
| Both logs and traces (e.g., correlate errors with spans) | Start with the primary intent, cross-reference using `traceId` |
