Does it include predefined dashboard templates?

It provides structured JSON patterns and best practices for common scenarios including API monitoring, infrastructure health, and database performance tracking.

What monitoring methods does this skill support?

It specifically supports the RED method (Rate, Errors, Duration) for service health and the USE method (Utilization, Saturation, Errors) for hardware and infrastructure resource monitoring.

Can I use this for Dashboard as Code (DaC)?

Yes, the skill includes implementation patterns and code snippets for provisioning Grafana dashboards using Terraform, Ansible, and YAML configuration providers.

How does it handle multi-environment setups?

The skill guides you in using query variables and templating to create dynamic dashboards that can filter metrics by namespace, service, or instance automatically.

Analytics & Monitoring

Builds and manages production-grade Grafana dashboards for real-time observability of infrastructure and applications.

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for designing, implementing, and managing Grafana dashboards using industry-standard observability practices. It helps users apply the RED (Rate, Errors, Duration) and USE (Utilization, Saturation, Errors) methods to visualize Prometheus metrics, create dynamic variables, and implement sophisticated alerting. By providing structural patterns for API, infrastructure, and database monitoring, it enables developers and SREs to deploy 'Dashboard as Code' via Terraform or Ansible, ensuring consistent and scalable system visibility across production environments.
