Choose and review Kubernetes telemetry adapters when a legacy or vendor process emits incompatible metrics, logs or health signals, when deciding between per-pod translation and a node agent, or when an application upgrade silently changes parsed telemetry. Covers translation contracts, evidence-backed enrichment and failure behavior. Excludes in-process interface adaptation (gof-adapter), container mechanics (sidecar-pattern), probe configuration (kubernetes-service-lifecycle) and telemetry…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Adapter Sidecar Pattern

An adapter translates what a process emits into a platform contract. Uniform syntax does
not imply uniform meaning: two duration metrics may include different work. The specialist
decision is whether translation is justified, where it belongs, and how to detect plausible
but incorrect output when either contract changes.

## Workflow

1. **Establish the contract before the parser.** Obtain representative source samples with
   producer image/version and capture conditions, the consumer schema/protocol and version,
   field meanings and units, and the current collection path. Inspect source/configuration
   where available; do not infer semantics from field names alone. For placement, obtain
   producer changeability, collector capabilities/access, replica counts and resource constraints.
   For failures, obtain timestamps, parser errors, backlog and upstream collection status.
2. **Handle missing evidence explicitly.** Request the smallest missing sample or contract
   needed for a decision. Continue with a conditional design, but do not invent a production
   parser, health predicate, resource budget or confirmed diagnosis. Label supplied facts,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/adapter-sidecar-pattern@sha256:55a6e16735eed3d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.c769bd8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
