Production visibility through logs, metrics, traces, and alerting — the three pillars of observability.
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 & Monitoring Skill
> See what's happening in production. Debug without reproducing. Understand system behavior at scale.
## The Three Pillars
| Pillar | What | When | Tools |
|--------|------|------|-------|
| **Logs** | Discrete events | Debugging, auditing | Winston, Pino, Serilog |
| **Metrics** | Aggregated measurements | Alerting, dashboards | Prometheus, CloudWatch |
| **Traces** | Request flow across services | Distributed debugging | Jaeger, Zipkin |
**Modern approach:** OpenTelemetry unifies all three.

## Logging Best Practices
### Structured Logging
```typescript
// ❌ Bad: Unstructured
console.log(`User ${userId} clicked button ${buttonId}`);
// ✅ Good: Structured
logger.info('Button clicked', {
userId,
buttonId,
timestamp: Date.now(),
sessionId: ctx.sessionId
});
```
### Log Levels
| Level | Usage | Example |
|-------|-------|---------|
| **ERROR** | Something failed, needs attention | Payment failed |
| **WARN** | Unexpected but handled | Retry succeeded |
| **INFO** | Business events | User logged in |
| **DEBUG** | Developer details | Cache hit/miss |
| **TRACE** | Verbose internals | Function entry/exit |

How to install
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/observability-monitoring@sha256:a722b51e5d09ed4dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, 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.
