What this skill does
Monitoring & Observability When to use this skill Before Production Deployment: Essential monitoring system setup Performance Issues: Identify bottlenecks Incident Response: Quick root cause identification SLA Compliance: Track availability/response times Instructions Step 1: Metrics Collection (Prometheus) Application Instrumentation (Node.js): prometheus.yml: Step 2: Alert Rules alertrules.yml: Step 3: Log Aggregation (Structured Logging) Winston (Node.js): Step 4: Grafana Dashboard dashboard.json (example): Step 5: Health Checks Advanced Health Check: Output format Monitoring Dashboard Configuration Constraints Required Rules (MUST) 1. Structured Logging: JSON format logs 2. Metric Labels: Maintain uniqueness (be careful of high cardinality) 3. Prevent Alert Fatigue: Only critical alerts Prohibited (MUST NOT) 1. Do Not Log Sensitive Data: Never log passwords, API keys 2. Excessive Metrics: Unnecessary metrics waste resources Best practices 1. Define SLO: Clearly define Service Level Objectives 2. Write Runbooks: Document response procedures per alert 3. Dashboards: Customize dashboards as needed per team References Prometheus Grafana Google SRE Book Metadata Version Current Version: 1.0.0 Last Updated: 2025-01-01 Compatible Platforms: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini Related Skills deployment: Monitoring alongside deployment security: Security event monitoring Tags #monitoring #observability #Prometheus #Grafana #logging #metrics #infrastructure Examples Example 1: Basic usage <!-- Add example content here --> Example 2: Advanced usage <!-- Add advanced example content here -->
