Dstl8 turns your telemetry into answers. Connect your logs, metrics and traces, and Möbius, Dstl8's AI agent, watches them for you: it finds the patterns and anomalies that matter, opens incidents with the evidence behind them, and explains what changed. Ask it questions in Möbius Chat, or from your own AI assistant over MCP. * **Get started:** the [Quickstart](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/quickstart.md), then connect a [source](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/sources.md) such as [Kubernetes](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/sources/kubernetes.md), [Docker](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/sources/docker.md), [AWS CloudWatch](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/sources/aws-cloudwatch.md) or [OpenTelemetry](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/sources/opentelemetry-otel.md). * **Explore your signals:** [Metrics](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/metrics.md) and [Traces](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/traces.md) (both in beta), [Services](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/services.md), [Topology](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/topology.md), [Events](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/events.md) and [Canvas](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/canvas.md). * **Respond:** [Incidents](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/incidents.md), including [forecast incidents](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/incidents/forecasts.md) that warn you ahead of time, and [alerts and notifications](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/incidents/alerts-and-notifications.md). * **Work from your tools:** [MCP Integration](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/mcp-integration.md) and the [Dstl8 CLI](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/dstl8-cli.md). Learn more about [Dstl8](https://www.controltheory.com/product/dstl8/) on the ControlTheory website, and see what's new in the [Release Notes](/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs/release-notes.md).

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.controltheory.com/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
