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).
Set up monitoring, logging, and observability for applications and infrastructure. Use when implementing health checks, metrics collection, log aggregation, or alerting systems. Handles Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog, and monitoring best practices.
Create and manage production Grafana dashboards for real-time visualization of system and application metrics. Use when building monitoring dashboards, visualizing metrics, or creating operational observability interfaces.
Grafana Cloud Database Observability — query-level performance insights for MySQL and PostgreSQL. Covers setup with Grafana Alloy, query samples, visual explain plans, RED metrics, pg_stat_statements and Performance Schema integration, and correlation with application traces. Use when monitoring database performance, diagnosing slow queries, setting up database observability for MySQL or PostgreSQL (self-managed, RDS, Aurora, Azure, Cloud SQL), or correlating DB metrics with APM data.
Production server monitoring stack covering Prometheus, Node Exporter, Grafana, Alertmanager, Loki, and Promtail on bare-metal or VM Linux hosts. USE WHEN: - Setting up monitoring for a new production server or VPS - Configuring Prometheus scrape targets for application or system metrics - Creating Grafana dashboards and datasource provisioning - Writing Alertmanager routing rules with email/Slack notifications - Implementing the PLG stack (Promtail + Loki + Grafana) for log aggregation - Performing live system diagnostics with htop, iotop, nethogs, ss, vmstat, iostat - Setting up uptime monitoring with UptimeRobot or healthchecks.io DO NOT USE FOR: - Kubernetes-native observability (use the kubernetes skill instead) - Application-level APM (distributed tracing with Jaeger/Tempo — use observability skill) - Cloud-managed monitoring (CloudWatch, GCP Monitoring, Azure Monitor) - Windows Server monitoring
Grafana Cloud cost management — usage monitoring, cost attribution by label, usage alerts, invoice management, and optimization strategies. Covers Adaptive Metrics (cardinality reduction), Adaptive Logs (log filtering), cost attribution labels, and the FOCUS-compliant billing application. Use when analyzing Grafana Cloud spending, setting up cost alerts, attributing costs to teams, reducing metric/log cardinality, or forecasting observability budgets.
Set up comprehensive infrastructure monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and alerting systems for metrics, health checks, and performance tracking.
Use when: user asks to create a Grafana app, initialize a grafana-app-sdk project, set up a Grafana App Platform app, scaffold a new app, or asks about deployment modes (standalone operator, grafana/apps, frontend-only), how grafana-app-sdk works, or the overall development workflow. Provides foundational knowledge of the grafana-app-sdk CLI, project structure, deployment modes, and overall workflow.
Comprehensive skill for interacting with Grafana's HTTP API to manage dashboards, data sources, folders, alerting, annotations, users, teams, and organizations. Use when Claude needs to (1) Create, read, update, or delete Grafana dashboards, (2) Manage data sources and connections, (3) Configure alerting rules, contact points, and notification policies, (4) Work with folders and permissions, (5) Manage users, teams, and service accounts, (6) Create or query annotations, (7) Execute queries against data sources, or any other Grafana automation task via API.
Use this skill whenever working with QuestDB — a high-performance time-series database. Trigger on any mention of QuestDB, time-series SQL with SAMPLE BY, LATEST ON, ASOF JOIN, ILP ingestion, or the questdb Python/Go/Java/Rust/.NET client libraries. Also trigger when writing Grafana queries against QuestDB, creating materialized views for time-series rollups, working with order book or financial market data in QuestDB, or any SQL that involves designated timestamps or time-partitioned tables. QuestDB extends SQL with unique time-series keywords — standard PostgreSQL or MySQL patterns will fail. Always read this skill before writing QuestDB SQL to avoid hallucinating incorrect syntax.
Connect AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, OpenAI Codex) to Grafana Cloud via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Use when the user asks to connect Claude Code to Grafana, set up MCP for Grafana, use Grafana tools in Cursor, query Grafana from an AI agent, configure the Grafana MCP server, or make AI agents interact with Grafana Cloud APIs. Triggers on phrases like "MCP server", "connect Claude Code to Grafana", "Grafana MCP", "AI agent Grafana", "Claude Grafana tools", "Cursor Grafana", or "agent observability".
Application monitoring and observability setup for Python/React projects. Use when configuring logging, metrics collection, health checks, alerting rules, or dashboard creation. Covers structured logging with structlog, Prometheus metrics for FastAPI, health check endpoints, alert threshold design, Grafana dashboard patterns, error tracking with Sentry, and uptime monitoring. Does NOT cover incident response procedures (use incident-response) or deployment (use deployment-pipeline).
