Playbook for deploying, upgrading or extending a self-hosted Kubernetes observability stack — kube-prometheus-stack (Prometheus Operator, Prometheus, Alertmanager, Grafana), Loki, Grafana Alloy as the collector, persistent storage on Longhorn or cloud disks, retention and capacity sizing, alert routing, dashboards as code, and migrating off Promtail/Grafana Agent. Use whenever the task is to build, change, scale, upgrade or troubleshoot monitoring, logging or alerting infrastructure, even if…

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

# Playbook: Observability stack on Kubernetes

<!-- devops-ai-kit · Last reviewed: 2026-10-28 · Detailed config standards: rules `observability.md`, `helm.md`; storage: skill `k8s-storage`. -->

This playbook is a **checklist that the plan must answer**. It does not replace the official docs: field names, deployment modes and defaults change between chart versions, so ask `infra-researcher` to check them for the version you use.

## 1. Design questions (the plan must answer each one)

**Scope & placement**

- [ ] What to collect: infrastructure metrics, app metrics, logs, (traces?), from how many clusters?
- [ ] Where the stack runs: inside the monitored cluster, or in a separate monitoring cluster? If the cluster dies, who sends the alert?

**Components & versions**

- [ ] Which charts and versions (pin exact versions):
  - kube-prometheus-stack;
  - Loki (chart `grafana/loki`);
  - Alloy (chart `grafana/alloy`, or the combined chart `grafana/k8s-monitoring`);
  - Grafana (bundled with kube-prometheus-stack, or separate).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hoangminhung/devops-ai-kit/playbook-monitoring-stack@sha256:82aadd8cff54c45d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.645512f, 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.
