What monitoring-specialist does

The subagent works on infrastructure monitoring tasks, from collecting metrics and examining logs to tracing requests across services and setting up alerts. Its available tools cover file reading and editing as well as shell commands. The listed systems include Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and OpenTelemetry.

It considers latency, traffic, errors, and resource saturation when shaping monitoring, and recommends alerting on symptoms. Possible outputs include Prometheus rules, Grafana dashboards, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, SLA reports, and runbooks for recurring alert scenarios. It needs project configuration files and a command-running environment to make changes; without those, it cannot apply configuration in the project. Retention and monitoring costs are also part of its stated focus.

What it helps with

  • configure metric collection and Prometheus alert rules
  • aggregate service logs and define alert conditions
  • set up OpenTelemetry tracing across services
  • build dashboards for SLA and performance checks
  • write response steps for common alert scenarios

Example prompts for the agent

  • Set up Prometheus metrics and draft alert rules for this service.
  • Plan infrastructure log aggregation and alerts for error patterns.
  • Create Grafana dashboards and an SLA monitoring report.
