opentelemetry with grafana provides a vendor-neutral framework for collecting metrics, logs, traces, and profiles across go, java, node.js, python, and .net. covers direct instrumentation, collector-based pipelines via alloy, and ebpf-based approaches via beyla, with sampling strategies and kubernetes deployment patterns.

beyla is a grafana ebpf auto-instrumentation tool that captures http/grpc traffic and generates traces and metrics without code modification. covers installation, kubernetes deployment, cardinality control, and trace sampling configuration.

promql covers query construction, validation, and optimization for prometheus-compatible systems. includes rate/increase patterns, histogram quantiles, recording rules, and common failure modes with recovery steps.

pyroscope provides continuous profiling instrumentation across six languages via sdk or ebpf auto-instrumentation, surfacing cpu, memory, and goroutine metrics queryable by profileql.

prometheus covers metric collection and querying via promql with grafana cloud integration, but lacks procedural depth and actionable guidance for common observability tasks.

incomplete introduction to grafana dashboard json structure. lacks actionable procedures for panel creation, variable configuration, or api-driven dashboard modification. documentation does not advance past conceptual framing.

mimir is a grafana metrics storage system. this document is a configuration reference, not a skill definition with intent, decision logic, or actionable procedures.

k6 is a load testing tool with installation instructions and basic cli examples, but lacks actionable guidance on writing tests, interpreting results, or handling failures.

grafana alloy is a telemetry collection binary supporting metrics, logs, traces, and profiles via prometheus and otel standards, with installation steps for macos, linux, and docker.

grafana-oss skill provides a single yaml configuration snippet for dashboard provisioning without actionable procedures, decision logic, or outcome validation.

tempo is a reference document for grafana tempo, a distributed tracing backend. it contains links and overview material but no actionable skill procedures.
