All commands support

-o json

for profile selection.

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:

bash

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):

bash

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:

bash

cx notifications routers create --from-file router.json

4. Set Up Webhooks

Configure outgoing webhooks for external integrations:

bash

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:

bash

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-create-dashboard

skill for the full dashboard creation workflow.

7. Create SLOs

Use the

cx-incident-management

skill for SLO creation and monitoring.

Notification Setup Workflow

Detailed notification channel configuration:

1. List Available Connector Types

bash

cx notifications connectors types -o json

2. Create a Connector

bash

cx notifications connectors create --from-file connector.json

3. Create a Router

bash

cx notifications routers create --from-file router.json

4. Assign or Create a Preset

bash

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

bash

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

bash

cx webhooks types -o json

2. Create Webhook

Template from an existing webhook if possible:

bash

cx webhooks get <existing-id> -o json > webhook-template.json
cx webhooks create --from-file webhook.json

3. Test Webhook

bash

cx webhooks test <webhook-id>

4. Create Automation Actions (Optional)

bash

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-file
for complex JSON payloads - pipe from stdin or use a file

Template from existing -

cx <command> get <id> -o json > template.json

before creating

Check connector types first -

cx notifications connectors types

and

cx webhooks types

before creating
