monitoring

monitoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zilliztech/zilliz-plugin. It costs 31 tokens per session (665 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Command instructions for monitoring Zilliz Cloud resources, including clusters, databases, collections, collection statistics, loading state, and time-based metrics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to inspect cluster details, list databases and collections, check collection statistics and load states, and review cluster-wide metrics.
Why use it?
They provide a consistent way to check whether resources are available, loaded, and behaving as expected.

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

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 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.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisites

  1. CLI installed and logged in (see setup skill).
  2. Cluster context set for collection-level monitoring (see setup skill).

Commands Reference

All monitoring commands that target collections accept an optional --database <db-name> flag. If omitted, the database from the current context is used.

Cluster Status

# Current context
zilliz context current

# Cluster details (status, plan, region, endpoints)
zilliz cluster describe --cluster-id <cluster-id>

Collection Overview

List all collections with their stats:

# List collections
zilliz collection list
zilliz collection list --database <db-name>

# For each collection, get stats and load state:
zilliz collection get-stats --name <collection-name>
zilliz collection get-load-state --name <collection-name>

If the cluster has multiple databases, iterate through each database by running zilliz database list first, then zilliz collection list --database <db-name> for each.

Database Overview

zilliz database list

All Clusters

zilliz cluster list --all

Time-series Metrics

For cluster-wide time series (CU sizing, storage, serverless VCU, slow queries) use zilliz cluster metrics:

zilliz cluster metrics --cluster-id <cluster-id> -m CU_COMPUTATION --period 1h

For per-collection time series (QPS, latency, entity counts, hybrid-search aliases) use zilliz collection metrics -- see the collection skill for metric scope rules and the full alias list:

zilliz collection metrics -c <collection-name> -m SEARCH_QPS --period 1h

Both commands render an inline Braille line chart by default (one block per metric with a min / max / avg / last summary). Pass an explicit -o table (or --output table) for the pivot-table layout, or use -o json / --query to get raw data for scripting.

Presenting Results

When the user asks for a status overview, collect and present information as a summary table:

Cluster Info:

  • Cluster ID, name, status (RUNNING/SUSPENDED/etc.)
  • Plan type, region, create time

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.

monitoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository zilliztech/zilliz-plugin (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 665 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
