prometheus-grafanaSet up metrics collection and visualization with Prometheus and Grafana.
Prometheus Grafana is an agent skill from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills. Set up metrics collection and visualization with Prometheus and Grafana. Configure scrape targets, create PromQL queries, build dashboards, and implement alerting. Use when implementing monitoring, metrics collection, or visualization for applications and infrastructure.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/grafana-dashboard-template.json`, `assets/prometheus-config.yaml` and `references/alerting-rules.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Monitoring and alerting. It works with Prometheus, Grafana and Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: Agent-ready DevOps, security, infrastructure, and compliance knowledge base with 80+ skills across Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS/Azure/GCP, AI platform operations, container… The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0365f57. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
helmFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
prometheus-community.github.iohooks.slack.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORDFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Prometheus Grafana loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Set up metrics collection and visualization with Prometheus and Grafana. Prometheus Grafana is an agent skill from BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills. Set up metrics collection and visualization with Prometheus and Grafana.
Prometheus Grafana fits situations like: implementing monitoring; metrics collection; visualization for applications and infrastructure.
Run `npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill prometheus-grafana -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (devops/observability/prometheus-grafana in BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills) into .claude/skills/prometheus-grafana in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill prometheus-grafana -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (devops/observability/prometheus-grafana in BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills) into .agents/skills/prometheus-grafana in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add BagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-Skills --skill prometheus-grafana -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/prometheus-grafana, .gemini/skills/prometheus-grafana, .github/skills/prometheus-grafana and .opencode/skills/prometheus-grafana in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Prometheus Grafana needs a shell for the scripts in its folder, the command-line tools its instructions call (helm) and credentials named GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD. Our summary lists: Node.js; A Bash shell; Docker.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: prometheus-community.github.io and hooks.slack.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Prometheus Grafana is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
