gke-observability skillA
gke-observability is agent-read markdown (skill) from gke-labs/kube-agents: Workflows for setting up and auditing observability (logging, monitoring, tracing) on GKE..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

# GKE Observability Skill
This skill provides workflows for ensuring your GKE cluster and workloads have adequate observability for production use.
## Workflows
### 1. Audit Cluster Observability
Check if Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring are enabled on the cluster.
**Command:**
```bash
gcloud container clusters describe <cluster-name> --region <region> --project <project-id> --format="json(loggingConfig, monitoringConfig)"
```
Look for `loggingService` and `monitoringService` to be set to something other than `none` (usually `logging.googleapis.com/kubernetes` and `monitoring.googleapis.com/kubernetes`).
### 2. Enable Managed Service for Prometheus
Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus is the recommended way to collect metrics from your applications.
**Command to enable:**
```bash
gcloud container clusters update <cluster-name> \
--enable-managed-prometheus \
--region <region>
```
**Verify installation:**
```bash
kubectl get pods -n gmp-system
```
### 3. Workload Logging Verification
Ensure your workloads are logging to standard output, which Cloud Logging collects automatically.
**Check workload logs:**
```bash

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-observability@git:20260728.aca5b5cmdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-observability@sha256:0a440f0b13823e8dPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
