## What it does

The skill guides monitoring work for applications and distributed systems with Prometheus, Grafana, and related cloud-native components. It covers metric collection, time-series analysis, dashboards, alert rules, and service targets such as SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs.

Its material is organized around Prometheus components: the TSDB, scrape targets, service discovery, PromQL, Alertmanager, and exporters. It also discusses labels, recording rules, logs, traces, and events, with configuration examples for Kubernetes and static scrape targets.

High-cardinality labels increase memory and storage usage, so label dimensions should match the queries you actually need. Installation requires `npx` or `gh`, depending on the platform.

## Requirements
- Works with: Grafana

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill observability-monitoring -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/observability-monitoring/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/observability-monitoring/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill observability-monitoring -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/observability-monitoring/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill observability-monitoring -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/observability-monitoring/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace observability-monitoring
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/observability-monitoring/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill observability-monitoring -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --path plugins/luxor-devops-suite/skills/observability-monitoring
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/observability-monitoring/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill observability-monitoring -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace/tree/HEAD/plugins/luxor-devops-suite/skills/observability-monitoring/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- configure metric collection for services
- build dashboards for system health
- define alert rules and routing paths
- analyze time-series data with PromQL
- set service indicators and reliability targets

## Example prompts
- Set up Prometheus and Grafana monitoring for this API, including scrape targets and alert rules.
- Review `prometheus.yml` and suggest recording rules for the queries used most often.
- Design application metrics, SLIs, and SLOs for these microservices while avoiding excessive label cardinality.
