dt-obs-kubernetes

dt-obs-kubernetes is a skill for Claude Code from Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai. It costs 200 tokens per session (4,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Dynatrace monitoring guide for Kubernetes, the system used to run and manage containerized applications across clusters of machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking cluster and pod health, investigating crashes, out-of-memory kills, evictions, stuck deployments, and node pressure, while reviewing resource costs and security settings.
Why use it?
It helps explain whether problems come from clusters, machines, containers, workloads, scheduling, networking, or resource pressure.

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

dt-obs-kubernetes 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 12d 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.

  • Investigating pod failures, OOMKills, evictions, or crash loops
  • Debugging degraded deployments, stuck rollouts, or node pressure
  • Optimizing Kubernetes resource costs
  • Assessing security posture and compliance
  • Troubleshooting workload scheduling and placement
  • Auditing ingress routing and network policies

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.
