agent-metrics-monitor

name	agent-metrics-monitor
description	Provides monitoring and alerting for agent abnormal behavior metrics with Prometheus and Grafana support, including P99 latency, error rates, anomaly detection, and custom alert rules.

Agent Metrics Monitor

Monitor and alert agent abnormal behavior metrics with Prometheus and Grafana support.

When to Use

• Monitoring agent operation latencies (P50, P95, P99)
• Tracking error rates and success rates
• Detecting anomalies in agent behavior
• Generating Prometheus-compatible metrics
• Creating Grafana dashboard configurations
• Setting up alert rules for abnormal behavior

Usage

const monitor = require('./skills/agent-metrics-monitor');

// Create metrics collector
const collector = monitor.createMetricsCollector({ serviceName: 'my-agent' });

// Record latency
collector.recordLatency('tool_call', 150);
collector.recordLatency('tool_call', 250);

// Record errors and successes
collector.recordError('tool_call', 'timeout');
collector.recordSuccess('tool_call');

// Get error rate
console.log('Error rate:', collector.getErrorRate('tool_call'));

// Export Prometheus format
console.log(collector.exportPrometheus());

// Generate Grafana dashboard
const dashboard = collector.generateGrafanaDashboard({ title: 'My Agent' });

API

createMetricsCollector(options)

Create a metrics collector instance.

const collector = monitor.createMetricsCollector({
  serviceName: 'my-agent',
  prefix: 'agent',
  timeSeries: {
    maxPoints: 10000,
    retentionMs: 86400000 // 24 hours
  }
});

createHistogram(options)

Create a histogram for latency tracking.

const hist = monitor.createHistogram({
  buckets: [1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10000],
  maxValues: 10000
});

hist.observe(150);
console.log('P99:', hist.p99());
console.log('P95:', hist.p95());
console.log('P50:', hist.p50());

createCounter(name, labels)

Create a counter for tracking occurrences.

const counter = monitor.createCounter('requests_total', { service: 'api' });
counter.inc();
counter.inc(5);
console.log(counter.get()); // 6

Create a gauge for point-in-time values.

const gauge = monitor.createGauge('active_connections', { host: 'localhost' });
gauge.set(10);
gauge.inc();
gauge.dec();
console.log(gauge.get()); // 10

createAlertRule(options)

Create an alert rule.

const rule = monitor.createAlertRule({
  name: 'high_error_rate',
  metric: 'error_rate',
  condition: 'gt', // 'gt', 'lt', 'eq', 'gte', 'lte'
  threshold: 0.05,
  duration: 60000, // 1 minute
  severity: 'warning', // 'info', 'warning', 'critical'
  message: 'Error rate exceeds 5%'
});

createAnomalyDetector(options)

Create an anomaly detector.

const detector = monitor.createAnomalyDetector({
  windowSize: 100,
  zScoreThreshold: 3
});

const result = detector.check('latency', 500);
console.log(result.anomaly); // true/false
console.log(result.zScore); // z-score value

quickMonitor(serviceName, operations)

Create a simple monitoring setup with default alert rules.

const collector = monitor.quickMonitor('my-agent');
// Pre-configured with high_error_rate and high_p99_latency alerts

Classes

Histogram

Track latency percentiles.

const hist = new monitor.Histogram({ buckets: [10, 50, 100, 500, 1000] });

hist.observe(150);
hist.observe(250);
hist.observe(350);

const stats = hist.getStats();
// {
//   count: 3,
//   sum: 750,
//   mean: 250,
//   p50: 250,
//   p95: 350,
//   p99: 350,
//   buckets: [...]
// }

Counter

Monotonically increasing value.

const counter = new monitor.Counter('requests', { service: 'api' });
counter.inc();
counter.inc(10);
console.log(counter.get()); // 11
counter.reset();
console.log(counter.get()); // 0

Gauge

Point-in-time value.

const gauge = new monitor.Gauge('temperature');
gauge.set(25);
gauge.inc(2);
gauge.dec(1);
console.log(gauge.get()); // 26

AlertRule

Define alert conditions.

const rule = new monitor.AlertRule({
  name: 'high_latency',
  metric: 'latency_p99',
  condition: 'gt',
  threshold: 1000,
  duration: 60000,
  severity: 'warning',
  message: 'P99 latency exceeds 1 second'
});

const result = rule.evaluate(1500);
// {
//   name: 'high_latency',
//   state: 'firing', // 'inactive', 'pending', 'firing'
//   value: 1500,
//   threshold: 1000,
//   severity: 'warning',
//   message: 'P99 latency exceeds 1 second'
// }

MetricsCollector

const collector = new monitor.MetricsCollector({ serviceName: 'agent' });

// Record operations
collector.recordLatency('tool_call', 150);
collector.recordError('tool_call', 'timeout');
collector.recordSuccess('tool_call');

// Get rates
const errorRate = collector.getErrorRate('tool_call');

   op = operations[i % ];
   latency =  + .() * ;
  
  collector.(op, latency);

  }
}


.(, collector.());
.(, collector.().());


 alerts = collector.();
 ( alert  alerts) {
   (alert. === ) {
    .();
  }
}

Example: Anomaly Detection

const monitor = require('./skills/agent-metrics-monitor');

const collector = monitor.createMetricsCollector({ serviceName: 'agent' });
const detector = monitor.createAnomalyDetector({ zScoreThreshold: 2.5 });

// Train with normal values
console.log('Training with normal values...');
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  const latency = 100 + Math.random() * 50; // 100-150ms
  collector.recordLatency('api_call', latency);
  detector.check('api_call_latency', latency);
}

// Get baseline
const baseline = detector.getBaseline('api_call_latency');
console.log('Baseline:', baseline);

// Test with anomalies
console.log('\nTesting for anomalies...');
const testValues = [120, 135, 500, 1000, 125];

for (const value of testValues) {
   result = detector.(, value);
  .();
}

Example: Prometheus Export

const monitor = require('./skills/agent-metrics-monitor');

const collector = monitor.createMetricsCollector({
  serviceName: 'my-agent',
  prefix: 'agent'
});

// Record some metrics
collector.recordLatency('tool_call', 150);
collector.recordLatency('tool_call', 250);
collector.recordError('tool_call', 'timeout');
collector.recordSuccess('tool_call');

const gauge = collector.gauge('active_sessions', { region: 'us-east' });
gauge.set(42);

// Export Prometheus format
const prometheus = collector.exportPrometheus();
console.log(prometheus);

// Output:
// # TYPE agent_tool_call_errors_total counter
// agent_tool_call_errors_total{error_type="timeout"} 1
// # TYPE agent_tool_call_success_total counter
// agent_tool_call_success_total 1
// # TYPE agent_tool_call_total counter
// agent_tool_call_total 2
// # TYPE agent_active_sessions gauge
// agent_active_sessions{region="us-east"} 42
// # TYPE agent_tool_call_latency histogram
// agent_tool_call_latency_bucket{le="1"} 0

Example: Grafana Dashboard Generation

const monitor = require('./skills/agent-metrics-monitor');

const collector = monitor.createMetricsCollector({ serviceName: 'api-agent' });

// Generate dashboard configuration
const dashboard = collector.generateGrafanaDashboard({
  title: 'API Agent Metrics',
  uid: 'api-agent-metrics'
});

// Save to file for Grafana provisioning
const fs = require('fs');
fs.writeFileSync('grafana-dashboard.json', JSON.stringify(dashboard, null, 2));

console.log('Dashboard generated with panels:');
for (const panel of dashboard.dashboard.panels) {
  console.log(`  - ${panel.title} (${panel.type})`);
}

Alert Rule Conditions

• gt - Greater than
• lt - Less than
• eq - Equal to
• gte - Greater than or equal
• lte - Less than or equal

• critical - Critical condition requiring immediate attention

Notes

• Histograms use bucket-based storage for Prometheus compatibility
• Percentiles are calculated from stored values for accuracy
• Time series data has configurable retention
• Anomaly detection uses z-score method
• Grafana dashboards are generated in JSON format for provisioning
• Prometheus export follows standard exposition format
