A reference for metrics, alarms, logs, and troubleshooting in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring, a service that watches cloud systems and reports problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure or investigate metrics, alarms, log collection, notifications, and monitoring deployed with an OCI Landing Zone.
Why use it?
It helps identify OCI-specific mistakes involving metric namespaces, query syntax, alarm thresholds, and missing log data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

monitoring-operations scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

OCI Monitoring and Observability - Expert Knowledge

🏗️ Use OCI Landing Zone Terraform Modules

Don't reinvent the wheel. Use oracle-terraform-modules/landing-zone for observability stack.

Landing Zone solves:

  • ❌ Bad Practice #10: No logging, monitoring, notifications (Landing Zone deploys complete observability)
  • ❌ Bad Practice #7: Limited security services (Landing Zone integrates Cloud Guard, VSS, OSMS)

This skill provides: Metrics, alarms, and troubleshooting for monitoring deployed WITHIN a Landing Zone.


⚠️ OCI CLI/API Knowledge Gap

You don't know OCI CLI commands or OCI API structure.

Your training data has limited and outdated knowledge of:

  • OCI CLI syntax and parameters (updates monthly)
  • OCI API endpoints and request/response formats
  • Monitoring service CLI operations (oci monitoring alarm, oci monitoring metric)
  • Metric namespaces and MQL (Monitoring Query Language)
  • Latest Logging and Service Connector features

When OCI operations are needed:

  1. Use exact CLI commands from this skill's references
  2. Do NOT guess metric namespace names
  3. Do NOT assume AWS CloudWatch patterns work in OCI
  4. Load reference files for detailed MQL documentation

What you DO know:

  • General observability concepts
  • Alerting and threshold design principles
  • Log aggregation patterns

This skill bridges the gap by providing current OCI-specific monitoring patterns and gotchas.


NEVER Do This

NEVER assume metrics are instant (10-15 minute lag)

  • Metrics published every 1-5 minutes
  • Processing delay: 5-10 minutes
  • Total lag: 10-15 minutes from event to visible metric
  • Don't debug "missing metrics" within first 15 minutes of resource creation

NEVER use = for alarm thresholds with sparse metrics

# WRONG - alarm never fires if metric has gaps
MetricName[1m].mean() = 0

# RIGHT - handle missing data
MetricName[1m]{dataMissing=zero}.mean() > 0

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
