obs-boot

obs-boot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chipi/agentic-ai-homelab. It costs 80 tokens per session (328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A runbook for starting and checking a Grafana Alloy monitoring setup that sends machine and service measurements to Grafana Cloud. Grafana Cloud is an online service for exploring metrics and viewing dashboards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up or checking monitoring for the DGX stack. It helps verify node, GPU, vLLM, and container metrics and confirm that health checks and dashboards work.
Why use it?
It organizes credentials, configuration checks, startup, verification, dashboards, and image-version pinning in one sequence. Startup requires explicit approval because it changes shared services.

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

obs-boot 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

obs-boot

Drive and verify the observability stack boot. Source runbook: docs/recipes/observability-boot.md. Verify steps are read-only; the compose up is shared-state and gated.

Steps

  1. Creds (read-only). Confirm the three Grafana Cloud values are in infra/observability/.env (cp .env.example .env if missing). Never commit the real .env.
  2. Config check (read-only). Run compose-check on infra/observability (docker compose config -q).
  3. Boot — SHARED-STATE, approval. From infra/observability/ in place: docker compose up -d.
  4. Verify (read-only). In Grafana Cloud Explore, confirm node / DCGM / vLLM / cAdvisor metrics arrive (filter instance="homelab-1"); healthchecks green.
  5. Dashboards + pin tags. Import the four dashboards; after a verified boot, pin the :latest image tags to the concrete versions.
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.
