Splunk Observability SLO Setup
Prerequisites
| Tool or access | Purpose | Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Bash and Python 3 | Run bundled setup and validation helpers | bash --version && python3 --version |
| Required product/platform access | Inspect or configure the selected target | Complete the documented preflight |
| Credential files for live modes | Keep secrets out of chat | Verify paths only |
Workflow Overview
┌───────────┐ ┌───────────────┐ ┌───────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ Preflight │ → │ Render/review │ → │ Apply/handoff │ → │ Validate evidence │
└───────────┘ └───────────────┘ └───────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
When to Activate
- Create, validate, or operationalize Splunk Observability SLOs.
- Preview and review the splunk observability slo setup workflow before any live apply phase.
- Diagnose failed prerequisites, generated assets, configuration, or validation evidence.
Scope
Follow the documented read-only or render-first path whenever it is available. This skill does not imply permission to mutate live systems. Require explicit apply flags, protected credentials, and operator review for state changes.
Examples
Inspect the supported setup modes before selecting one:
bash skills/splunk-observability-slo-setup/scripts/setup.sh --help
Expected output: usage, supported modes, and required arguments are displayed without changing the target environment.
Inspect validation modes before running completion checks:
bash skills/splunk-observability-slo-setup/scripts/validate.sh --help
Expected output: offline, live, and completion options are displayed when the skill supports them; help exits without mutation.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Preflight fails | A required tool or access path is missing | Resolve it before rendering or applying |
| Rendered assets are incomplete | Required non-secret inputs are absent | Complete intake and render again |
| Apply is blocked | Review, credentials, or explicit acceptance is missing | Use the documented handoff |
| Validation is incomplete | Live evidence is unavailable | Record the gap and keep completion open |
Focused SLO wrapper over splunk-observability-deep-native-workflows. It
renders SLO intent, validation notes, and a downstream workflow spec without
duplicating the existing API coverage logic.
bash skills/splunk-observability-slo-setup/scripts/setup.sh --render \
--name "Checkout availability SLO" \
--service checkoutservice \
--environment prod \
--target 99.9 \
--realm us1
Review deep-native-workflow-spec.json, then run
delegate-deep-native-workflows.sh for downstream rendering or API apply.
The wrapper emits an API-ready request-based payload for apm_service only
when --service is concrete; other SLI sources fail closed to a completion
handoff.
bash splunk-observability-slo-rendered/delegate-deep-native-workflows.sh \
--apply --dry-run
bash splunk-observability-slo-rendered/delegate-deep-native-workflows.sh \
