Telemetry
For teams tracking containers, hosts, processes, disks, and network metrics

Infrastructure Metrics With SQL

Send structured infrastructure events when you need queryable host and container history without a large monitoring rollout.

Why this works
  • Analyze container, disk, process, system, and network metrics with SQL.
  • Join operational metrics to product or customer events when needed.
  • Start with a small instrumentation surface and add alerts around real thresholds.

Replace YOUR_API_KEY after signup, then ask the agent to run the product flow and verify the first events.

Infrastructure Metrics With SQL setup prompt

Instrument infrastructure metrics with Telemetry.

Use /skill.md and this Telemetry API key: YOUR_API_KEY

Please log container, disk, system, network, process, and heartbeat metrics. Include host_name, container_name, environment, metric_name, metric_value, unit, threshold, status, and observed_at.

Create dashboards for CPU, memory, disk, network, process health, and missing heartbeats. Add alerts for sustained threshold breaches and missing data.

Do not log secrets, environment variable values, command arguments containing credentials, or raw process payloads.

Setup steps

  1. 1Log metric snapshots with host, container, process, and environment labels.
  2. 2Keep metric names stable and put high-cardinality identifiers in fields.
  3. 3Create dashboards for CPU, memory, disk, network, and process health.
  4. 4Alert on threshold breaches, trend changes, and missing heartbeats.

Questions unlocked

  • Which containers or hosts are under sustained pressure?
  • Which processes correlate with product incidents?
  • Where are missing heartbeats or disk trends becoming risky?

Next step

Create the API key your agent will use

The free plan is enough to run the prompt, send test events, and review the first dashboard.
