prometheus-monitoring

prometheus-monitoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 40 tokens per session (551 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to collecting and querying time-based measurements with Prometheus, a monitoring system commonly used for application and infrastructure metrics. It covers metric endpoints, scraping targets, service discovery, and alert rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect custom metrics, configure monitoring targets, discover services, store time-series data, and build monitoring infrastructure.
Why use it?
It helps teams see application and infrastructure health over time and detect problems through measured signals.

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

prometheus-monitoring 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/health-check.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Prometheus Monitoring

Table of Contents

Overview

Implement comprehensive Prometheus monitoring infrastructure for collecting, storing, and querying time-series metrics from applications and infrastructure.

When to Use

  • Setting up metrics collection
  • Creating custom application metrics
  • Configuring scraping targets
  • Implementing service discovery
  • Building monitoring infrastructure

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
global:
  scrape_interval: 15s
  evaluation_interval: 15s
  external_labels:
    cluster: production

alerting:
  alertmanagers:
    - static_configs:
        - targets: ["localhost:9093"]

rule_files:
  - "/etc/prometheus/alert_rules.yml"

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "prometheus"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["localhost:9090"]

  - job_name: "node"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["localhost:9100"]

  - job_name: "api-service"
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Use consistent metric naming conventions
  • Add comprehensive labels for filtering
  • Set appropriate scrape intervals (10-60s)
  • Implement retention policies
  • Monitor Prometheus itself
  • Test alert rules before deployment
  • Document metric meanings

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

prometheus-monitoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts (376 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 551 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
