Cognition Monitoring
Learn to use Skytells Cognition to track errors, detect security threats, monitor runtime health, catch anomalies, and stream live events — from the Console and the CLI.
Who this is for
Developers and operators who run apps on Skytells and want to know what's happening inside them — without waiting for a user to file a bug report. If you've deployed an app and want visibility into its health, security, and behavior, this path is for you.
What you'll be able to do after this path
- Navigate every view in the Cognition Console and know which one to open for which situation
- Investigate an error spike and correlate it with a recent deployment
- Spot and respond to security threats before they become incidents
- Read runtime health signals — CPU, memory, heap — and understand what normal looks like
- Detect anomalies and understand what makes Skytells flag them
- Stream live events and query time-series metrics from both the Console and the CLI
- Build an automated health check script using CLI commands
Your learning path
Module 1 — What is Cognition?
The five Cognition views explained. When to open each one and what questions each view answers.
Module 2 — Errors & Incident Investigation
Track application errors, read stack information, and correlate spikes with deployments or traffic changes.
Module 3 — Security Threats & Anomalies
Understand what security events Skytells detects, how severity is determined, and how anomaly detection works.
Module 4 — Runtime Health & Live Events
Monitor CPU, memory, and heap signals. Stream live events in real time to diagnose problems as they happen.
Module 5 — Monitoring from the CLI
Run every Cognition view from your terminal, poll for new events, build health check scripts, and integrate with alerting systems.
