Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "prometheus-configuration" from https://skillstore.io/skills/wshobson-prometheus-configuration.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/wshobson-prometheus-configuration/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "prometheus-configuration". Configure Prometheus for a Kubernetes service with metrics annotations.

Expected outcome:

  • A recommended scrape discovery approach for annotated services and pods.
  • Label and relabel guidance for namespace, pod, service, path, and port metadata.
  • Validation steps to confirm targets appear and return metrics.

Using "prometheus-configuration". Plan alerts for API latency and error rates.

Expected outcome:

  • A rule set covering service down, high error rate, and high latency conditions.
  • Suggested evaluation windows, alert durations, severity labels, and descriptions.
  • Guidance to use recording rules before alerting on expensive queries.

Using "prometheus-configuration". Troubleshoot a Prometheus target that is down.

Expected outcome:

  • A target status checklist covering service discovery, metrics path, port, scheme, and labels.
  • Local API checks for targets, configuration status, and simple instant queries.
  • Likely causes such as wrong annotations, blocked ports, TLS mismatch, or invalid relabeling.

What You Can Build

Bootstrap Kubernetes Monitoring

Create a Prometheus deployment plan with Helm settings for retention, storage, namespaces, and core components.

Standardize Scrape Discovery

Design scrape jobs for nodes, applications, static targets, file discovery, and Kubernetes annotations.

Create Service Alerts

Build recording rules and alerts for availability, error rate, latency, CPU, memory, and disk usage.

Try These Prompts

Create a Basic Setup
Use this skill to outline a basic Prometheus setup for my environment. Include deployment method, retention, storage, and validation steps.
Configure Scrape Targets
Use this skill to design Prometheus scrape configurations for these targets: [list targets]. Include labels, discovery method, and relabeling guidance.
Build Rules and Alerts
Use this skill to propose recording rules and alert rules for [service name]. Cover availability, error rate, latency, CPU, memory, and disk usage.
Review Production Design
Use this skill to review my Prometheus design for production readiness. Check scrape load, retention, service discovery, alerts, validation, and operational gaps.

Best Practices

  • Validate every Prometheus configuration and rule change before rollout.
  • Tune scrape intervals, retention, and alerts to match service objectives and storage capacity.
  • Use recording rules for expensive or repeated queries before dashboards and alerts depend on them.

Avoid

  • Do not copy placeholder targets or certificate paths into production without review.
  • Do not scrape every pod without relabel filters and cardinality controls.
  • Do not rely only on ad hoc dashboard queries when recording rules are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill install Prometheus automatically?
No. It provides setup commands and configuration guidance for users or agents to review before applying.
Can it help with Kubernetes service discovery?
Yes. It includes examples for Kubernetes pod and service discovery with annotation-based relabeling.
Does it include alerting examples?
Yes. It covers service availability, error rate, latency, CPU, memory, and disk space alerts.
Can I use it for production environments?
Yes, but production use requires local review of capacity, security, retention, and access control.
Does it manage secrets or certificates?
No. It only shows certificate file path placeholders for TLS configuration examples.
Which AI tools can use this skill?
The report lists compatibility with Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
