grafana-billing

grafana-billing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nodnarbnitram/claude-code-extensions. It costs 37 tokens per session (575 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool guide for reading Prometheus and Loki billing metrics through Grafana. Prometheus records numeric system measurements, while Loki stores logs; Grafana displays and queries both.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query staging or production billing data, filter results by Prometheus or Loki, inspect a service, and return results as JSON for automation.
Why use it?
It helps investigate observability costs by showing ingestion, storage, active metric series, log usage, and metric-cardinality issues.

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

grafana-billing 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/billing_metrics.py, scripts/formatters.py, scripts/grafana_client.py, …), 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.

Grafana Billing Metrics Skill

Query key billing metrics from Prometheus and Loki through Grafana's data source proxy API.

Quick Start

# Query both staging and prod (default)
uv run .claude/skills/grafana-billing/scripts/billing_metrics.py

# Query specific environment
uv run .claude/skills/grafana-billing/scripts/billing_metrics.py --env staging
uv run .claude/skills/grafana-billing/scripts/billing_metrics.py --env prod

# JSON output for automation
uv run .claude/skills/grafana-billing/scripts/billing_metrics.py --json

# Filter to specific service
uv run .claude/skills/grafana-billing/scripts/billing_metrics.py --service prometheus
uv run .claude/skills/grafana-billing/scripts/billing_metrics.py --service loki

Environment Variables Required

  • GRAFANA_STAGING_API_KEY - API key for staging Grafana workspace
  • GRAFANA_PROD_API_KEY - API key for prod Grafana workspace

Key Metrics Captured

Prometheus

Metric Description
Active Time Series Current count of active series (billing dimension)
Samples/sec Ingestion rate (DPM = samples/sec * 60)
TSDB Storage On-disk storage bytes
Top Cardinality Top 10 metrics by series count

Loki

Metric Description
Ingestion Rate GB/day being ingested
Total Bytes Cumulative bytes received
Active Streams Number of active log streams
Memory Chunks Chunks held in memory

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks about:

  • Observability billing or costs
  • Active time series counts
  • Prometheus cardinality analysis
  • Loki ingestion rates
  • Storage usage for metrics or logs
  • Comparing staging vs production usage

Instructions for Claude

  1. Run the billing metrics script to gather current data
  2. Present the results in a clear, formatted way
  3. Highlight any concerning metrics (high cardinality, rapid growth)
  4. Compare staging vs prod if both are queried
  5. Suggest cost optimization if metrics are unusually high

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.
