Monitoring Setup

When to Use

Activate this skill when:

• Setting up structured logging for a Python/FastAPI application
• Configuring Prometheus metrics collection and custom counters/histograms
• Implementing health check endpoints (liveness and readiness)
• Designing alert rules and thresholds for production services
• Creating Grafana dashboards for service monitoring
• Integrating Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring
• Implementing distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry
• Reviewing or improving existing observability coverage

Output: Write observability configuration summary to monitoring-config.md documenting what was set up (metrics, alerts, dashboards, health checks).
