What it does
This skill should be used when user asks to "query OpenObserve", "create OpenObserve dashboard", "edit OpenObserve panel", "fetch OpenObserve logs", "run OpenObserve search", "list OpenObserve streams", "ingest into OpenObserve", or works with OpenObserve Cloud / self-hosted via REST API. Covers auth, search/SQL, streams, dashboards (CRUD + per-panel ops), the v8 panel JSON schema, and known pitfalls (re-aggregation, hash concurrency, microsecond timestamps).
OpenObserve REST API Skill
Programmatic OpenObserve usage for AI agents. Talk to any OpenObserve instance (Cloud or self-hosted) using curl and the documented REST API. No CLI required, there is no first-party OpenObserve CLI.
Retrieval First
Your knowledge of OpenObserve API shapes may be outdated. Prefer retrieval over pre-training:
| Source | How to retrieve | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| Docs repo | gh api repos/openobserve/openobserve-docs/contents/docs/reference/api/{path}.md -q .content | base64 -d | Authoritative request/response samples |
| Server source | gh api repos/openobserve/openobserve/contents/src/handler/http/request/dashboards/mod.rs -q .content | base64 -d | Endpoint paths, query params, status codes |
| Panel schema | gh api repos/openobserve/openobserve/contents/src/config/src/meta/dashboards/v8/mod.rs -q .content | base64 -d | Exact panel JSON structure (Rust structs) |
When docs and server source disagree, trust the server source, handlers ship faster than docs.
1. Auth
HTTPS basic auth with email + password. There is no token endpoint.
# Method 1: curl -u shorthand
curl -u "you@example.com:PASSWORD" "https://eu1.openobserve.ai/api/<org>/streams"
# Method 2: explicit header
TOKEN=$(printf '%s' "you@example.com:PASSWORD" | base64)
curl -H "Authorization: Basic $TOKEN" "https://eu1.openobserve.ai/api/<org>/streams"
Endpoints below assume BASE=https://<host>/api/<org> and AUTH="-u you@example.com:PASSWORD".
2. Search / Query, POST $BASE/_search
Optional query string ?type=logs|metrics|traces (default logs).
