## What it does

The skill is a router, not a configurator. It matches your symptom against a table and sends the agent to read one file: `setup/SKILL.md` for Prometheus, Grafana, alerting, log centralization and Hybrid Cloud metrics, or `debugging/SKILL.md` for a stuck optimizer, growing memory, slow requests and health checks. Two matching rows mean both files get read.

It never touches your cluster. The allowed tools are `Read`, `Grep` and `Glob`, so answers come from the skill's own files instead of the model guessing at Qdrant internals. That matters when you are debugging production and a wrong guess costs you time.

Before tuning anything, the skill points you at the metric reference — sensible, because picking metrics blind is how you end up adjusting the wrong knob. Install for Claude with `npx skills add qdrant/skills --skill qdrant-monitoring -a claude-code`; the file lands at `~/.claude/skills/qdrant-monitoring/SKILL.md`.

## Requirements
- Works with: Grafana

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add qdrant/skills --skill qdrant-monitoring -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add qdrant/skills --skill qdrant-monitoring -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install qdrant/skills qdrant-monitoring
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add qdrant/skills --skill qdrant-monitoring -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/qdrant/skills --path skills/qdrant-monitoring
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add qdrant/skills --skill qdrant-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/qdrant/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/qdrant-monitoring/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- set up Prometheus and Grafana for Qdrant
- pick which metrics are worth tracking
- figure out why the optimizer is stuck
- trace growing memory in production
- wire up alerts and log centralization

## Example prompts
- How do I monitor Qdrant?
- The optimizer is stuck and never finishes — what should I check?
- Qdrant memory keeps growing, help me debug it

# Qdrant Monitoring

Route first, then answer. Match the user's symptom in the table, `Read` that file, and answer from it.
Do not answer from this page alone: it contains routing only, not the guidance. If two rows match, read both.

| The user says | Read |
|---|---|
| Want to set up Prometheus, Grafana, or health checks | `setup/SKILL.md` |
| Need to know which metrics to track | `setup/SKILL.md` |
| Setting up alerting, log centralization, or Hybrid Cloud metrics | `setup/SKILL.md` |
| Optimizer stuck or running forever | `debugging/SKILL.md` |
| Memory keeps growing in production | `debugging/SKILL.md` |
| Requests are slow and I need to find out why | `debugging/SKILL.md` |
| Is Qdrant healthy right now | `debugging/SKILL.md` |

Qdrant monitoring tracks performance and health, and catches issues before they become outages. See the metric reference before tuning anything:
[Monitoring docs](https://skills.qdrant.tech/md/documentation/ops-monitoring/monitoring/)
