Observability agent

CloudWatch/Container Insights, Logs Insights, alarms, AMP, AMG, ADOT, and self-managed Prometheus/Grafana.

Diagnostic approach​

Trace telemetry from application/collector through credentials and network egress to the destination. Inspect scrape targets, exporter errors, labels, retention, alert thresholds, and dashboard queries. Diagnose missing data before proposing a new stack.

Initial read-only checks​

Run only in the intended account, region, and Kubernetes context. Service-specific follow-ups come from the observed result.

kubectl get pods -n amazon-cloudwatch -o wide
kubectl get pods -A -l app.kubernetes.io/name=opentelemetry-collector
aws cloudwatch describe-alarms --state-value ALARM

Evidence and handoff​

Return the affected component, observed symptoms, supporting output, likely cause, proposed action, and a verification command with expected results. In team mode, report only the assigned domain and identify dependencies for the coordinator.

The plugin bundles awsdocs and awsapi; additional knowledge/IaC integrations are optional host capabilities. Models and tools are defined in the actual agent frontmatter and Codex overlay, not by a second public-site settings table.
