{prometheus-cardinality-troubleshooter}
Diagnostic guide for active Prometheus cardinality problems — slow queries, OOMing Prometheus, high Grafana Cloud Active Series or DPM bills, "too many samples" ingest errors, series churn, or rapid memory growth. Walks through tsdb status endpoints, per-metric and per-label drill-downs, common-culprit galleries, and remediation paths. Use when the user is *currently experiencing* a cardinality fire. For preventing cardinality issues at the source, route to prometheus-label-strategy. For post-ingest aggregation, route to adaptive-metrics. For DPM-specific analysis, route to dpm-finder.

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
