Write, validate, and optimise PromQL queries for Prometheus and Grafana Cloud Metrics. Use when the user asks to query metrics, write a PromQL expression, calculate rates, aggregate across labels, build histogram quantiles, create recording rules, debug query performance, or understand metric cardinality. Triggers on phrases like "PromQL", "Prometheus query", "write a metric query", "calculate rate", "histogram_quantile", "recording rule", "metric cardinality", "sum by", "rate vs irate", "absent()", or "query is slow".
Grafana Cloud AI and ML features — Grafana Assistant (natural language queries, dashboard generation, incident investigations), Dynamic Alerting (ML forecasting and outlier detection), Sift (automated root cause analysis with 8 analysis types), Knowledge Graph (entity discovery and RCA Workbench), and the LLM Plugin (OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure integration). Use when setting up AI-powered alerting, using natural language to query metrics/logs, automating incident investigation, or integrating LLMs with Grafana panels and workflows.
Grafana Professional Services tool for identifying which Prometheus metrics drive high Data Points per Minute (DPM). Analyzes metric-level DPM with per-label breakdown to help optimize Grafana Cloud costs. Use when the user asks about DPM analysis, high-cardinality metrics, metric cost optimization, finding noisy metrics, or running dpm-finder against a Grafana Cloud Prometheus endpoint.
Set up, configure, and troubleshoot Grafana Cloud integrations for AWS, Azure, and other cloud providers. Use when the user asks to connect AWS CloudWatch, set up Azure Monitor, configure Confluent Cloud observability, install a Grafana integration, set up hosted exporters, use AWS Firehose for CloudWatch logs, or troubleshoot a cloud integration. Triggers on phrases like "AWS CloudWatch", "Azure Monitor", "Confluent integration", "cloud integration", "hosted exporter", "AWS Firehose", "install integration", "cloud metrics", or "cloud logs".
Grafana Cloud infrastructure monitoring — Kubernetes monitoring, cloud provider integrations (AWS, Azure, GCP), host and container monitoring, infrastructure dashboards, and collector setup. Use when setting up Kubernetes monitoring, connecting cloud provider metrics, configuring node exporter or cAdvisor, setting up infrastructure dashboards, or using the k8s-monitoring Helm chart.
Grafana Cloud Application Observability (APM), Frontend Observability (RUM/Faro), and AI Observability. Covers RED metrics (Rate/Error/Duration), service maps, span metrics from traces, Faro JavaScript/React SDK for browser instrumentation, session replay, AI/LLM model monitoring, and integration with traces/logs/profiles for full-stack correlation. Use when setting up APM, configuring frontend monitoring, analyzing service performance, or monitoring AI/LLM applications.
Sending telemetry data to Grafana Cloud — metrics via Prometheus remote write or OTLP, logs via Loki push or Alloy, traces via OTLP to Tempo, profiles via Pyroscope. Covers Alloy-based pipelines, direct SDK/agent integrations, cloud integrations catalog, and credentials management. Use when connecting an application or infrastructure to Grafana Cloud, setting up data ingestion, configuring remote write, or choosing between ingestion methods.
Author Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring checks, with deep coverage of k6 scripted and browser checks: SM's single-VU/single-iteration execution model, assertions that actually fail probe_success (expect() and fail() vs bare check()), secrets, deterministic scripts, robust browser locators, local validation with k6 run, deployment via UI/API/Terraform, verifying probe_success, and rollback. Also helps choose the simplest sufficient check type (HTTP/ping/DNS/TCP, MultiHTTP, scripted, browser). Use when writing a synthetic check, monitoring a login/checkout/signup flow in production, converting a k6 script or an OpenAPI spec into a check, authoring a browser check, validating a user journey, or asking "is my site up from multiple regions". NOT for load, stress, or performance testing — SM runs one iteration per execution; for load tests use the grafana-k6 plugin or Grafana Cloud k6. For the broad Grafana Cloud Testing overview (SM + k6 Cloud + Faro), use the testing skill.
Grafana Cloud private network connectivity — AWS PrivateLink, Azure Private Link, and GCP Private Service Connect. Send telemetry (metrics, logs, traces, profiles) to Grafana Cloud without traversing the public internet. Eliminates cloud egress costs, meets compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, HIPAA). Use when setting up secure private telemetry ingestion from AWS/Azure/GCP, reducing egress costs, or meeting data residency/compliance requirements.
Grafana Cloud account management — organizations, stacks, RBAC, SSO/SAML/OAuth, service accounts, API keys, team management, billing, and cloud-level provisioning. Use when managing Grafana Cloud access, configuring SSO, setting up service accounts for CI/CD, assigning roles, managing multiple stacks or organizations, or provisioning cloud resources via API.
