Purpose of this pull request

This pull request documents the new Monitor Creation Agent in Mobot, which lets you create and update logs monitors from plain-language prompts.

Changes:

  • New docs/alerts/monitors/create-monitor-with-mobot.md — supported monitor types (Logs only), detection types (Static, Anomaly, Outlier), fields the agent configures, the conversational create/update walkthrough, and example prompts.
  • docs/search/mobot.md — registers the Monitor Creation Agent as a third agent (intro, At a glance, Getting started table) and adds a dedicated section linking to the new page.
  • sidebars.ts — adds the new page to the Monitors category.
  • docs/alerts/monitors/create-monitor.md — cross-reference tip.
  • New blog-service/2026-07-10-search.md — service release note.

Open items before merge (SME confirmation)

  • Confirm the exact Mobot entry point for selecting the Monitor Creation Agent (walkthrough written generically).
  • Add screenshots — 3 image placeholders are marked with {/* TODO */} in the new page.
  • Confirm final feature/page name.

Hi @JV0812 , apologies - this failed the merge window check because sidebars.ts was accidentally omitted from the whitelist. Have a PR now to fix it, and then we can sync this w/main to confirm it passes the check.

- If your organization has one connection, the agent adds it automatically.
- If your organization has more than one connection, the agent lists them and asks which to use.
1. When the configuration looks right, the agent shows a confirmation card. Confirm to create the monitor.<br/>{/* TODO: add screenshot of the confirmation card */}
1. The agent creates the monitor and returns its ID along with the configured conditions.

Along with this mobot shows a chip artifact. Currently on clicking on that user will be redirected to the created monitor. Todo: on clicking on that user will get preview on made on same screen.

Added to the create steps: the agent returns the monitor ID and Mobot displays a chip for the new monitor, which you can click to open the created monitor. I documented only the current behavior (click opens the monitor) and left out the in-screen preview since that's a future TODO. — via Claude Code


The new monitor appears on the **Monitors** tab, the same as a monitor created through the form.

Scoped the update section to exactly these fields: Name, Description, Query, Trigger conditions, Notifications, and Query time range (queryTimeType). — via Claude Code

GEO: add at-a-glance intro, question/how-to headings, and an FAQ.
Review fixes: document the post-creation chip, scope updatable fields
(name, description, query, triggers, notifications, query time range),
and note the agent cannot disable or delete a monitor.

Hi @JV0812 , per Chitransh, it looks like this should be positioned more as a skill/functionality rather than a selectable agent.

@priyanshbarya-sumo , I just viewed your demo and it looks like there won't be a button called Monitor Creation Agent - it's a functionality you can call on - is that right?

@tp-sl Since Mobot v2 is going GA end of the month, can you please confirm the wording?
