Skill: Setup monitoring
Trigger
When the user asks to set up monitoring, add alerts, or configure dashboards.
Steps
1. Scope — Identify what to monitor (API latency, errors, DB, queue depth) and where (cloud provider, vendor). 2. Metrics — Define 3–5 key metrics (e.g. request rate, error rate, p99 latency); use structured logging with correlationId. 3. Alerts — Propose thresholds (e.g. error rate > 1%, p99 > 2s) and severity; document in runbook. 4. Dashboard — List panels to add (time series, status); use placeholders for dashboard URLs. 5. Logs — Remind: no PII or secrets; JSON format; include correlationId per project rules.
Rules
- Follow
