gke-observability SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

gke-observability from gke-labs/kube-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-observability@git:20261030.9eba8c7

Pins git:20261030.9eba8c7 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Workflows for setting up and auditing observability (logging, monitoring, tracing) on GKE.

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

# GKE Observability Skill

This skill provides workflows for ensuring your GKE cluster and workloads have adequate observability for production use.

> You are read-only: each change below is a proposal you report with your findings, never a command you run.

## 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.

**To enable:** propose turning on Managed Service for Prometheus (Config
Connector `ContainerCluster` field `spec.monitoringConfig.managedPrometheus.enabled: true`).

**Verify installation:**

```bash
kubectl get pods -n gmp-system
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-observability@sha256:fee36a13d34c4c77

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.9eba8c7, 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.
