Proven metrics queries for Better Stack Collector sources (the source tool's Platform "Collector") - per-host node\_\* metrics, per-container and per-service container\_resources\_\*, requests and errors by destination, TCP health, and the container-level saturation checks that host averages hide. Load after metrics-query when the source platform is Collector, for health checks, resource questions and service dashboards.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/BetterStackHQ/claude-plugin /tmp/claude-plugin && ln -s /tmp/claude-plugin/skills/collector-queries ~/.claude/skills/collector-queries
```

## From README

Collector sources: proven queries Taken from the Hosts and Services dashboard templates; every metric and label below was verified on a live Collector source. Queries use {{source}}, {{time}}, {{starttime}}, {{endtime}} exactly as metrics-query describes: as written in dashboard charts, substituted in ad-hoc query calls. What the collector emits Every infrastructure metric carries host, service, container; container is the readable container name (namespace/pod/container on Kubernetes). Prefer these container and node families over the OTel container. (dotted, docker-stats) family, whose labels are resource attributes. Per host, node exporter: nodecpusecondstotal (mode, cpu), nodememorybytes, nodeload1/5/15, nodedisk (device), nodefilesystem (mountpoint, fstype), nodenetwork (device), nodepressure{cpu,io,memory}{waiting,stalled}secondstotal, nodevmstatoomkill, nodeprocs{running,blocked}, nodenetstatTcp.
