description

This skill enables Claude to collect comprehensive infrastructure performance metrics across compute, storage, network, containers, load balancers, and databases. It is triggered when the user requests "collect infrastructure metrics", "monitor server performance", "set up performance dashboards", or needs to analyze system resource utilization. The skill configures metrics collection, sets up aggregation, and helps create infrastructure dashboards for health monitoring and capacity tracking. It supports configuration for Prometheus, Datadog, and CloudWatch.

Overview

This skill automates the process of setting up infrastructure metrics collection. It identifies key performance indicators (KPIs) across various infrastructure layers, configures agents to collect these metrics, and assists in setting up central aggregation and visualization.

How It Works

1. Identify Infrastructure Layers: Determines the infrastructure layers to monitor (compute, storage, network, containers, load balancers, databases).
2. Configure Metrics Collection: Sets up agents (Prometheus, Datadog, CloudWatch) to collect metrics from the identified layers.
3. Aggregate Metrics: Configures central aggregation of the collected metrics for analysis and visualization.
4. Create Dashboards: Generates infrastructure dashboards for health monitoring, performance analysis, and capacity tracking.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

• Monitor the performance of your infrastructure.
• Identify bottlenecks in your system.
• Set up dashboards for real-time monitoring.

Examples

Example 1: Setting up basic monitoring

User request: "Collect infrastructure metrics for my web server."

The skill will:

1. Identify compute, storage, and network layers relevant to the web server.
