What components does this skill help monitor?

It provides metrics and health check methods for the SSMD data pipeline, including connectors (Kalshi, Kraken, Polymarket), archivers, and core infrastructure like NATS, Postgres, and Redis.

Does it support Google Cloud Monitoring?

Yes, it provides specific gcloud CLI templates for querying Prometheus time-series data stored in Google Cloud Monitoring.

How do I check metrics locally using this skill?

The skill includes specific kubectl port-forward and curl commands to access metrics from containers that lack built-in diagnostic tools like wget.

How are composite health scores calculated?

Scores are weighted across different data sources (e.g., 20% Kalshi, 15% Kraken) and factors like archive sync, data completeness, and SLA compliance, with hard 'RED' overrides for critical failures.

What are the health thresholds for connectors?

Connectors are generally considered healthy when WebSocket connections are active (value of 1) and the message rate is greater than 0; they are flagged if idle for more than 5 minutes.
