bigquery-observability
A Google skill for fetching BigQuery telemetry once the agent knows what it is looking for.
What the skill teaches
A Google skill for fetching BigQuery telemetry once the agent knows what it is looking for. It compares the three sources, INFORMATION_SCHEMA views, the jobs and reservation REST APIs, and Cloud Monitoring, and says when each fits. It then sets rules for writing efficient INFORMATION_SCHEMA queries with the right region and scope, and links reference files with ready queries for job performance, slot contention and queueing, reservation capacity and autoscaling, compute billing under on-demand and capacity pricing, and storage footprints. Root-cause work is left to the troubleshooting skill and SQL tuning to the optimisation skill. It is part of Google's skills repository.
