Does this skill support the RED and USE monitoring methods?

Yes, it provides specific templates and logic for implementing the RED method (Rate, Errors, Duration) for services and the USE method (Utilization, Saturation, Errors) for resources.

What kind of metrics can I visualize with this skill?

While optimized for Prometheus and PromQL, the patterns provided can be adapted for any metric source supported by Grafana, including databases and infrastructure monitors.

Does it help with dashboard variables and filtering?

Yes, it includes instructions and JSON snippets for setting up query variables that allow you to filter dashboards by namespace, service, or instance dynamically.

Can I use this skill to automate dashboard deployment?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for Dashboard-as-Code using Terraform and Ansible, allowing you to provision dashboards as part of your infrastructure pipeline.
