💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Validate observability endpoints and telemetry across services to ensure health, metrics, and logs are correct and secure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Health & readiness checks: verify /health endpoints remain available and accurate.
  • Metrics validation: ensure /metrics exposes correct Prometheus-style data and is properly secured.
  • Telemetry integrity: audit logging outputs to avoid secret leakage and ensure data quality.
  • Use case: when adding new metrics or changing observability auth.

Quick Start

Run the service, then curl /health and /metrics to verify availability and telemetry exposure before proceeding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate health and metrics endpoints for observability?▼

To validate observability endpoints, verify that /health and /metrics are available, expose correct Prometheus-style data, and enforce proper metrics authentication before proceeding.

How do I check my telemetry outputs for secret leakage?▼

Audit logging outputs to ensure telemetry integrity and verify that application logs do not leak secrets across deployments, services, and environments.

What is the best way to secure Prometheus-style metrics endpoints?▼

Securing Prometheus-style metrics endpoints involves verifying /metrics exposure and ensuring proper metrics authentication is applied where required across your services.

Do I need to verify readiness checks when adding new metrics to a service?▼

Yes, verify /health and readiness checks remain available and accurate when adding new metrics or changing observability authentication configurations.

How do I test /health and /metrics endpoints before deploying?▼

Run the service, then curl /health and /metrics to verify endpoint availability and telemetry exposure before proceeding with deployment.
