Monitoring

Server management procedures including PM2, monitoring, and log management. CRITICAL for production operations.

Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting for production applications to ensure reliability and quick incident response. Use when setting up application monitoring, implementing structured logging, creating metrics and dashboards, setting up alerts, implementing distributed tracing, monitoring performance, tracking errors, or building observability into applications.

Use when setting up performance monitoring, distributed tracing, or profiling with Sentry. Covers transactions, spans, and performance insights.

Use when building comprehensive monitoring and observability systems.

This skill provides AWS cost optimization, monitoring, and operational best practices with integrated MCP servers for billing analysis, cost estimation, observability, and security assessment.

Set up Prometheus monitoring for applications with custom metrics, scraping configurations, and service discovery. Use when implementing time-series metrics collection, monitoring applications, or building observability infrastructure.

Implement distributed tracing with correlation IDs, trace propagation, and span tracking across microservices. Use when debugging distributed systems, monitoring request flows, or implementing observability.

Implement centralized logging with ELK Stack, Loki, or Splunk for log collection, parsing, storage, and analysis across infrastructure.

Gate 2 of the development cycle. VALIDATES that observability was correctly implementedby developers. Does NOT implement observability code - only validates it.

Set up comprehensive infrastructure monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and alerting systems for metrics, health checks, and performance tracking.

Production observability and performance engineering with OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, metrics, logging, SLO/SLI design, capacity planning, performance profiling, APM integration, and observability maturity progression for modern cloud-native systems.

Expert performance monitor specializing in system-wide metrics collection, analysis, and optimization. Masters real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and performance insights across distributed agent systems with focus on observability and continuous improvement.

Production-ready monitoring, logging, and tracing using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, DataDog, and Sentry. Use when setting up production monitoring, implementing SLOs, distributed tracing, or performance tracking.

Comprehensive observability methodology implementing three pillars (logs, metrics, traces) with structured logging using Go slog, Prometheus-style metrics, and distributed tracing patterns. Use when adding observability from scratch, logs unstructured or inadequate, no metrics collection, debugging production issues difficult, or need performance monitoring. Provides structured logging patterns (contextual logging, log levels DEBUG/INFO/WARN/ERROR, request ID propagation), metrics instrumentation (counter/gauge/histogram patterns, Prometheus exposition), tracing setup (span creation, context propagation, sampling strategies), and Go slog best practices (JSON formatting, attribute management, handler configuration). Validated in meta-cc with 23-46x speedup vs ad-hoc logging, 90-95% transferability across languages (slog specific to Go but patterns universal).

Observability audit worker (L3). Checks structured logging, health check endpoints, metrics collection, request tracing, log levels. Returns findings with severity, location, effort, recommendations.

Use when setting up monitoring systems, logging, metrics, tracing, or alerting. Invoke for dashboards, Prometheus/Grafana, load testing, profiling, capacity planning. Keywords: monitoring, observability, logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, Prometheus, Grafana.
