name: monitor-gen description: Generate monitoring and alerting configs for Prometheus and Grafana. Use when setting up observability.

Monitoring Config Generator

Get Prometheus rules and Grafana dashboards without reading docs for hours. Describe what you want to monitor and get production ready configs instantly.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-monitoring "node.js api with postgres and redis"

What It Does

• Generates Prometheus alerting rules for common failure modes
• Creates Grafana dashboard JSON you can import directly
• Covers CPU, memory, disk, and custom application metrics
• Sets sensible thresholds based on industry standards
• Includes runbook links and alert descriptions

Usage Examples

# Monitor a web service
npx ai-monitoring "express api with 99.9% uptime SLA"

# Database monitoring
npx ai-monitoring "postgres primary with 2 replicas"

# Full stack
npx ai-monitoring "kubernetes cluster with 10 nodes running microservices"

Best Practices

• Tune thresholds - Start with defaults, adjust after observing real traffic
• Don't alert on everything - Only alert on actionable issues
• Add context - Include runbook URLs in your alert annotations
• Test alerts - Intentionally trigger alerts to verify they fire correctly

When to Use This

• Setting up monitoring for a new service
• Adding observability to existing infrastructure
• Learning Prometheus query syntax through examples
• Standardizing alerting across your team
