Observability discipline: structured logging, metrics instrumentation, distributed tracing, and signal correlation. Invoke whenever task involves any interaction with observability concerns — adding logging, designing metrics, instrumenting traces, correlating signals, reviewing instrumentation, or understanding when to use which pillar.
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
# Observability **If you cannot ask arbitrary questions about your system's behavior from the outside, your system is not observable — it is merely monitored.** --- ## The Three Pillars <pillars> ### Logs — What Happened Logs are timestamped, discrete event records. They capture **what happened** at a specific moment: an error thrown, a user action, a configuration loaded, a connection refused. **Use logs when you need:** - Rich diagnostic context for a specific event - Debugging information with full error details and stack traces - Audit trails of who did what and when - Record of discrete state transitions **Logs are poor at:** - Showing aggregate system health (use metrics) - Tracing request flow across services (use traces) - High-frequency numeric trends (too expensive at volume) ### Metrics — How Is It Doing Metrics are numeric measurements aggregated over time. They capture **how the system is performing** as quantitative time series: request rates, error percentages, latencies, queue depths, resource utilization. **Use metrics when you need:** - Real-time health signals and alerting - Trend analysis over hours, days, weeks …

How to install
mdr add xobotyi/cc-foundry/observability@sha256:a937c78268d49775The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.323c887, 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.
