server-management

server-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vudovn/ag-kit. It costs 27 tokens per session (934 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of principles for running and monitoring application servers. It covers process managers, automatic recovery, uptime, performance, errors, and resource usage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding between tools such as PM2, systemd, containers, or Kubernetes, and when planning health checks, metrics, and alerts.
Why use it?
It helps choose an appropriate way to keep applications running, detect failures, and decide when an issue needs attention.

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 B, and why

server-management scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

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.

Server Management

Server management principles for production operations. Learn to THINK, not memorize commands.


1. Process Management Principles

Tool Selection

Scenario Tool
Node.js app PM2 (clustering, reload)
Any app systemd (Linux native)
Containers Docker/Podman
Orchestration Kubernetes, Docker Swarm

Process Management Goals

Goal What It Means
Restart on crash Auto-recovery
Zero-downtime reload No service interruption
Clustering Use all CPU cores
Persistence Survive server reboot

2. Monitoring Principles

What to Monitor

Category Key Metrics
Availability Uptime, health checks
Performance Response time, throughput
Errors Error rate, types
Resources CPU, memory, disk

Alert Severity Strategy

Level Response
Critical Immediate action
Warning Investigate soon
Info Review daily

Monitoring Tool Selection

Need Options
Simple/Free PM2 metrics, htop
Full observability Grafana, Datadog
Error tracking Sentry
Uptime UptimeRobot, Pingdom

3. Log Management Principles

Log Strategy

Log Type Purpose
Application logs Debug, audit
Access logs Traffic analysis
Error logs Issue detection

Log Principles

  1. Rotate logs to prevent disk fill
  2. Structured logging (JSON) for parsing
  3. Appropriate levels (error/warn/info/debug)
  4. No sensitive data in logs

4. Scaling Decisions

When to Scale

Symptom Solution
High CPU Add instances (horizontal)
High memory Increase RAM or fix leak
Slow response Profile first, then scale
Traffic spikes Auto-scaling

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.
