Use this to catch an LLM app silently getting worse in production - quality dropping, cost creeping up, inputs shifting away from what you tested. Trigger on "monitor my LLM in production", "alert me when quality drops", "detect drift", "my app got worse and I didn't notice", "set up monitoring/alerting for my AI app". Alert on the signals that actually move, not vanity metrics.

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

# Set up drift alerts

An LLM app that worked at launch degrades quietly: a model provider updates weights, users start asking different questions, a prompt change trades quality for cost. Drift alerting turns "we found out from an angry customer" into "we got paged when the metric moved."

## The four drifts worth alerting on

1. **Quality drift** - your online eval scores (faithfulness, relevance, hallucination rate) trend down. The one that matters most and the one people forget to watch. Requires online evals (see `add-llm-evals`).
2. **Cost drift** - tokens/request or spend/day creeps up (context bloat, a retry bug, a prompt that grew). Cheap to track, common, expensive to ignore.
3. **Latency / error drift** - p95 latency or error rate rises (provider slowdown, rate limits, a slow retrieval).
4. **Input drift** - production inputs move away from your eval set (new topics, new languages, longer inputs). Your evals stop being representative, so quality can drop *without* your quality metric catching it. Detect via input length/embedding-distribution shift.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add contextjet-ai/awesome-llm-observability/set-up-drift-alerts@sha256:cf9bb20b6a91e72c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.76d5de4, 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.
