Supported Tools

manage_source

Manage Source

List, get, create, update, or delete telemetry log sources. Configure ingestion, retention and VRL transformations. Longer retention may incur additional charges. Source platform and data region are selected during creation.

manage_on_call

Manage On-Call

Manage on-call calendars and escalation policies. List, create, update, or delete on-call calendars and escalation policies. On-call calendars define who is on call, while escalation policies define how alerts are routed.

manage_status_page

Manage Status Page

List, get, create, update, or delete status pages. Pages communicate system health to customers. Creation can publish the page publicly; provide published false to keep it unpublished.

list_monitors

List Monitors

manage_heartbeat

Manage Heartbeat

Create, update, list, get, or delete heartbeat monitors for tracking CRON jobs and scheduled tasks. Heartbeats expect periodic pings and create incidents when pings are missed.

List Dashboards
