VictoriaMetrics Monitoring Skill

Query and manage VictoriaMetrics time-series infrastructure using MetricsQL.

API Conventions

Authentication

VictoriaMetrics uses Basic auth or Bearer token — injected by connection.

Base URL

• Single-node: http://<host>:8428/
• vmselect: http://<vmselect>:8481/select/<accountID>/prometheus/
• vminsert: http://<vminsert>:8480/insert/<accountID>/prometheus/
• Use connection-injected VM_BASE_URL.

Output Rules

• TOKEN EFFICIENCY: Target <=50 lines per output
• Use jq for JSON extraction from Prometheus-compatible API
• NEVER dump raw time series — always summarize
