Implements comprehensive observability solutions covering metrics, logs, traces, and alerting.

Usage

/tsh-implement-observability <describe what to monitor or observe>

What It Does

1. Context Discovery

  • Identifies existing monitoring stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, etc.).
  • Checks for existing dashboards, alert rules, and log aggregation patterns.
  • Discovers service level objectives (SLOs) and key performance indicators (KPIs).

2. Implementation

  • Sets up metrics collection with appropriate instrumentation.
  • Configures log aggregation with structured logging patterns.
  • Implements distributed tracing across services.
  • Creates alerting rules with appropriate thresholds and escalation paths.
  • Builds dashboards for system health visibility.

3. Verification

  • Validates that metrics are being collected correctly.
  • Ensures alert rules fire as expected with test scenarios.
  • Verifies trace propagation across service boundaries.
