When deploying a new application to production and needing visibility from day one.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task. # Context - Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals - Category: DevOps & CI/CD - Use case: Monitoring & Alerting Stack Setup - Source task: - Design a monitoring and alerting stack for {{describe_application_language_deployment_platform_scale}}. - Step 1: Metrics: select the metrics stack (Prometheus + Grafana / Datadog / New Relic), define the top 10 metrics to instrument, and write example metric code in {{language}}. - Step 2: Logging: design structured logging format, log aggregation setup (ELK / Loki / CloudWatch), and define log retention policy. - Step 3: Alerting: write alerting rules for the 5 most critical conditions with severity levels and escalation paths. # Goal Metrics stack setup, 10 key metrics with instrumentation examples, logging design, and 5 alerting rules with escalation paths. # Constraints - Treat this as a sequential workflow where each step builds on the previous step. - Keep every step clearly labeled and easy to run separately if needed. - Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims. - Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use. # Output Metrics stack setup, 10 key metrics with instrumentation examples, logging design, and 5 alerting rules with escalation paths.

Define your SLOs before writing alerts — alerts should fire when you are burning through error budget, not every time a metric wiggles.
Debug this problem systematically. Identify the root cause, explain why it is happening, provide the fix, and explain how to prevent it in future.
Design the high-level architecture for this system. Cover components, data flow, scaling strategy, and key design decisions.
Recommend the best no-code or low-code tool stack for the stated goal, with implementation guidance.
Design the complete analysis approach for the stated question. Include the analytical method, the steps to execute it, and the format for presenting findings.
