# Monitoring Generator
Setting up proper monitoring means dashboards, alerts, and metrics. Describe your setup and get configuration for Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog.
**One command. Zero config. Just works.**
## Quick Start
```bash
npx ai-monitoring "node.js app with redis and postgres"
```
## What It Does
- Generates monitoring configuration for your stack
- Creates alert rules for common failure modes
- Sets up dashboard definitions
- Supports Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog
## Usage Examples
```bash
# Node.js monitoring
npx ai-monitoring "node.js app with redis and postgres"
# Kubernetes metrics
npx ai-monitoring "kubernetes cluster with 3 nodes"
# API monitoring
npx ai-monitoring "REST API with rate limiting alerts"
```
## Best Practices
- **Alert on symptoms** - not causes
- **Avoid alert fatigue** - only alert on actionable items
- **Include runbooks** - what to do when alerts fire
- **Dashboard key metrics** - latency, errors, throughput
## When to Use This
- Setting up monitoring for a new service
- Adding alerts to existing infrastructure
- Learning monitoring best practices
- Quick observability setup
