New Service Setup Workflow
When onboarding a new service, follow this checklist:
1. Create Saved Views
Set up views for the service's key log queries:
cx views folders create --from-file folder.json
cx views create --from-file view.json
2. Set Up Notification Connectors
Configure channels (Slack, PagerDuty, email):
cx notifications connectors types -o json
cx notifications connectors create --from-file slack-connector.json
3. Configure Notification Routing
Route alerts to the right channels:
cx notifications routers create --from-file router.json
4. Set Up Webhooks
Configure outgoing webhooks for external integrations:
cx webhooks types -o json
cx webhooks create --from-file webhook.json
cx webhooks test <webhook-id>
5. Install Integrations
Deploy relevant integrations and extensions:
cx integrations list -o json
cx integrations create --from-file integration.json
cx integrations extensions deploy --from-file extension.json
6. Create Dashboard
Use the cx-dashboards skill for the full dashboard creation workflow.
7. Create SLOs
Use the cx-slos skill for SLO creation and monitoring.
Notification Setup Workflow
Detailed notification channel configuration:
1. List Available Connector Types
cx notifications connectors types -o json
2. Create a Connector
cx notifications connectors create --from-file connector.json
3. Create a Router
cx notifications routers create --from-file router.json
4. Assign or Create a Preset
cx notifications presets list -o json
cx notifications presets create --from-file preset.json
cx notifications presets set-default <preset-id>
5. Test End-to-End
cx notifications test connector --from-file test-connector.json
cx notifications test destination --from-file test-destination.json
cx notifications test routing-condition --from-file test-condition.json
Webhook Setup
1. List Webhook Types
cx webhooks types -o json
2. Create Webhook
Template from an existing webhook if possible:
cx webhooks get <existing-id> -o json > webhook-template.json
cx webhooks create --from-file webhook.json
3. Test Webhook
cx webhooks test <webhook-id>
4. Create Automation Actions (Optional)
cx webhooks actions create --from-file action.json
cx webhooks actions reorder --from-file order.json
Key Principles
- Always test after setup - use
cx notifications test,cx webhooks test,cx integrations test - Use
--from-filefor complex JSON payloads - pipe from stdin or use a file - Template from existing -
cx <command> get <id> -o json > template.jsonbefore creating - Check connector types first -
cx notifications connectors typesandcx webhooks typesbefore creating
