Guide for implementing Grafana Mimir - a horizontally scalable, highly available, multi-tenant TSDB for long-term storage of Prometheus metrics. Use when configuring Mimir on Kubernetes, setting up Azure/S3/GCS storage backends, troubleshooting authentication issues, or optimizing performance.
Configure Prometheus Alertmanager with routing trees, receivers (Slack, PagerDuty, email), inhibition rules, silences, and notification templates for actionable incident alerting. Use when implementing proactive monitoring with automated incident detection, routing alerts to the appropriate team by severity, reducing alert fatigue through grouping and deduplication, integrating with on-call systems like PagerDuty, or migrating from legacy alerting to Prometheus-based alerting.
In-memory caching in Golang using samber/hot — eviction algorithms (LRU, LFU, TinyLFU, W-TinyLFU, S3FIFO, ARC, TwoQueue, SIEVE, FIFO), TTL, cache loaders, sharding, stale-while-revalidate, missing key caching, and Prometheus metrics. Apply when using or adopting samber/hot, when the codebase imports github.com/samber/hot, or when the project repeatedly loads the same medium-to-low cardinality resources at high frequency and needs to reduce latency or backend pressure.
Golang everyday observability — the always-on signals in production. Covers structured logging with slog, Prometheus metrics, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, continuous profiling with pprof/Pyroscope, server-side RUM event tracking, alerting, and Grafana dashboards. Apply when instrumenting Go services for production monitoring, setting up metrics or alerting, adding OpenTelemetry tracing, correlating logs with traces, migrating legacy loggers (zap/logrus/zerolog) to slog, adding observability to new features, or implementing GDPR/CCPA-compliant tracking with Customer Data Platforms (CDP). Not for temporary deep-dive performance investigation (→ See golang-benchmark and golang-performance skills).
Prometheus and Grafana Cloud Metrics overview including PromQL query language, Metrics Drilldown, alerting, recording rules, and integration patterns. Use when working with Prometheus, writing PromQL queries, configuring alerting, or discussing metrics architecture and best practices.
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.
Set up metrics collection and visualization with Prometheus and Grafana. Configure scrape targets, create PromQL queries, build dashboards, and implement alerting. Use when implementing monitoring, metrics collection, or visualization for applications and infrastructure.
Prometheus monitoring and alerting for cloud-native observability. USE WHEN: Writing PromQL queries, configuring Prometheus scrape targets, creating alerting rules, setting up recording rules, instrumenting applications with Prometheus metrics, configuring service discovery. DO NOT USE: For building dashboards (use /grafana), for log analysis (use /logging-observability), for general observability architecture (use senior-software-engineer with infrastructure focus). TRIGGERS: metrics, prometheus, promql, counter, gauge, histogram, summary, alert, alertmanager, alerting rule, recording rule, scrape, target, label, service discovery, relabeling, exporter, instrumentation, slo, error budget.
Monitoring and observability with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana dashboards, and structured logging
Author monitoring resources: PrometheusRules, ServiceMonitors, PodMonitors, AlertmanagerConfig, Silence CRs, and canary-checker health checks. Use when: (1) Creating or modifying alert rules (PrometheusRule), (2) Adding scrape targets (ServiceMonitor/PodMonitor), (3) Configuring Alertmanager routing or silences, (4) Writing canary-checker health checks, (5) Creating recording rules, (6) Adding monitoring for a new application or platform component. Triggers: "create alert", "add alerting", "PrometheusRule", "ServiceMonitor", "PodMonitor", "AlertmanagerConfig", "silence alert", "canary check", "recording rule", "add monitoring", "scrape target", "alert rule", "prometheus rule", "health check canary"
Query and interact with Prometheus HTTP API for monitoring data. Use when Claude needs to query Prometheus metrics, execute PromQL queries, retrieve targets/alerts/rules status, access metadata about series/labels, manage TSDB operations, or troubleshoot monitoring infrastructure. Supports instant queries, range queries, metadata endpoints, admin APIs, and alerting information.
Query Ethereum network data via ethpandaops CLI or MCP server. Use when analyzing blockchain data, block timing, attestations, validator performance, network health, or infrastructure metrics. Provides access to ClickHouse (blockchain data), Prometheus (metrics), Loki (logs), and Dora (explorer APIs).
