doca-telemetry
From the author
Use this skill to read DOCA hardware-counter events from a `doca_dev` through the per-domain Telemetry reader libraries: `doca_telemetry_pcc`, `_dpa`, `_diag`, `_adp_retx`, `_phy`, and `_pci`. It covers capability checks, context creation, startup, and per-domain reads or samples. Trigger for implicit requests such as "read PCC counters from my BlueField app", "sample DPA counter exports", or "expose PHY, PCI, or DIAG counters from this doca_dev". This is the counter-reader surface, not a NetFlow, IPFIX, or local-socket collector. Route publishing and export to `doca-telemetry-exporter`; route the deployed DOCA Telemetry Service to `doca-dts`, and collectors and plain stdout logging elsewhere.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- doca-telemetry-utilsNVIDIA/skillsdoca_telemetry_utils command line on a host with DOCA: discover the diagnostic-counter schema, translate counter names to binary Data IDs and back, and check per-device counter support before committing a DOCA Telemetry exporter config. Start here when telemetry counters vanish between the exporter and the collector: "my exporter ships but the collector sees nothing", "this metric silently drops downstream", "which counters does this BlueField expose", "translate this 0x... back to a counter name", "what do node / pcie_index / depth mean here", or "is this counter supported on this device", even without naming the tool. Writing exporter or collector code belongs to doca-telemetry-exporter / doca-telemetry; DTS deployment to doca-dts; DOCA install or repair to doca-setup.DevOps★ 3.7K
- doca-telemetry-exporterNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Telemetry Exporter programming on a host where DOCA is installed — defining a doca_telemetry_exporter_schema and event types, creating sources, picking a publish surface (typed events / opaque events / the metrics counter-gauge-histogram API / OTLP logs / NetFlow), walking the schema-then-source lifecycle, or debugging DOCA_ERROR_* failures from the exporter API. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "DOCA Telemetry Exporter" or "doca_telemetry_exporter_*" — typical implicit phrasings include "publishing counters from my DOCA app", "BAD_STATE when I report an event", "consumer/DTS sees nothing but my report succeeded", "how do I export NetFlow/IPFIX records", or "should I link the exporter or the telemetry service". Refuse and route elsewhere for the receiving DOCA Telemetry Service (DTS), plain stdout logging via doca_log, or real-time event subscription back into the app via doca-comch — those belong to other skills.Engineering★ 3.7K
- doca-capsNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user wants to invoke the read-only doca_caps CLI to ask what DOCA sees on this host — listing DOCA devices and PCIe addresses, listing representor devices, asking which DOCA libraries are available on the current OS, checking per-device per-library capabilities, scoping output to a specific PCIe address, or capturing a side-effect-free capability snapshot for debug or install smoke-test. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "doca_caps" or "capabilities print tool" — typical implicit phrasings include "what does DOCA actually see on this box", "is my BlueField PF visible to DOCA", "is Flow available on my RHEL host", "enumerate VF representors for pf0", "doca_caps: command not found", or "empty output for RDMA, is the tool broken". Refuse and route elsewhere for DOCA installation (doca-setup owns it; never walk the steps), library-internal capability matrices (Flow pipe creation, RDMA verbs features), streaming telemetry / DTS, or modifying the shipped binary.Testing★ 3.7K
- doca-collectx-deploymentNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill to deploy and operate a CollectX (clx) based DOCA telemetry collector on a host or BlueField — wiring providers / counters into the collector, running the collection daemon, and shaping its exporters (Prometheus pull, Fluent Bit push, NetFlow, file / IPC) so the metrics actually leave the box. Trigger even when the user never says CollectX or clx — implicit phrasings: {collector emits nothing downstream}, {add a provider to the clx collector}, {turn on the Prometheus endpoint}, {ship counters to Fluent Bit from the DPU}, {daemon starts but no schema rows appear}. This skill owns the CollectX collection mechanism plus the operator's own doca-telemetry / doca-telemetry-exporter usage; it ROUTES the productized DOCA Telemetry Service (DTS) to public docs (AGENTS.md Non-goal #7), the reader API to doca-telemetry, and the publisher API to doca-telemetry-exporter. Refuse to invent clx symbols, provider names, schema fields, flags, or config paths — describe the class and route to the live source.DevOps★ 3.7K
- doca-flow-dpa-providerNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is doing hands-on DOCA Flow DPA Provider work — exporting a `doca-flow` pipe or external resource (index-selector/memory) into BlueField DPA address space so a DPACC-built kernel can read counters, mutate hash-pipe entries, and update/read memory or index-selector resources inline with Flow. Covers per-port `doca_flow_dpa_ctx`, three queue types (general/resources-write/resources-read), the order-sensitive export handshake (`_export_prepare` → add entries → `_export` → `_get_device_addr`), and DPA-side device API. Trigger even when the user does not say "DOCA Flow DPA Provider" — implicit phrasings include "DPA kernel never sees entries in the exported pipe", "BAD_STATE from `_pipe_export`", "how do I disable a hash entry from a DPA kernel", "DPA memory read returns no value", or "DPA-side post keeps returning AGAIN". Refuse and route elsewhere for `doca-flow` pipe construction, generic host-side DPA (`doca-dpa`), or DPA-side kernel-writing — those belong to other skills.Writing★ 3.7K
- doca-flow-dpa-perfNVIDIA/skillsUse this skill when the user is invoking doca_flow_dpa_perf on DPA-capable hardware (ConnectX-7 minimum supported, ConnectX-8 recommended, or BlueField-3) to measure rule update / disable rates on the DPA-offloaded DOCA Flow path — picking the active / passive device split, choosing workload-shape axes (burst, queue, completion threshold, workers, hash pipe algo, PSL tables), or reading Kops/sec iteration stats and the optional self-test. Trigger even when the user does not explicitly mention "doca_flow_dpa_perf" or "DPA Provider" — typical implicit phrasings include "how fast can the DPA program path-selector entries", "baseline rule-update rate on ConnectX-8", "tool reports zero ops on my BlueField", "self-test sentinel never shows on tcpdump", or "is my BlueField-2 DPA-capable". Refuse and route elsewhere for the host / DPU-CPU Flow path (doca-flow-perf), Flow pipeline tuning (doca-flow-tune), writing doca-flow / doca-dpa applications, or DOCA install — those belong to other skills.Testing★ 3.7K
