Monitoring strategy

Skill bromso/metapowers/plugins/security/skills/monitoring-strategy

A Claude Code plugin that adds an agentic skills framework, with MCP's and a meta prompting processes. Inspired by "Superpowers" & "Figma Console MCP", but not just for development or design; but for all aspect within the digital production cycle.

Monitoring Strategy

Design security monitoring, alerting, and observability for "$ARGUMENTS". Define what to monitor, set alert thresholds and severity levels, and establish on-call procedures and response runbooks.

Prerequisites

Read .metapowers/security/$ARGUMENTS/00-govern.md. If this file does not exist, tell the user:

Phase 0 (Govern) has not been completed for "$ARGUMENTS". Run a Govern skill first (e.g., /security:security-policy $ARGUMENTS), or use --skip-checks to bypass.

If --skip-checks is present in $ARGUMENTS, skip this check and log to .metapowers/security/$ARGUMENTS/skip-log.md.

Process

  1. Define what to monitor:

    • Authentication events — login successes and failures, MFA challenges, password resets, account lockouts
    • Authorization failures — access denied events, privilege escalation attempts, unauthorized API calls
    • Data access — sensitive data reads, bulk data exports, data modification patterns
    • Configuration changes — infrastructure changes, security group modifications, IAM policy updates
    • Network traffic anomalies — unusual outbound traffic, connections to known malicious IPs, DNS anomalies
    • Application-level events — error rate spikes, request pattern changes, resource exhaustion

  2. Set alert thresholds and severity levels:

    • Critical (P1) — active breach indicators, data exfiltration detected, privilege escalation confirmed (response: immediate, 24/7)
    • High (P2) — multiple failed login attempts from single source, unauthorized configuration change, known malware signature (response: within 1 hour)
    • Medium (P3) — unusual access pattern, new admin account created, certificate expiring soon (response: within 4 hours)
    • Low (P4) — informational security events, policy compliance drift, minor configuration anomaly (response: next business day)
    • Define alert deduplication and correlation to reduce noise

  3. Define on-call rotation and escalation:

    • Design on-call rotation schedule (primary and secondary responders)
    • Define escalation paths by severity (P1 escalates to security lead and CISO)
    • Set escalation timeouts (auto-escalate if not acknowledged within defined window)
    • Ensure coverage across time zones and holidays
    • Define communication channels per severity (PagerDuty, Slack, phone)

  4. Choose monitoring stack:

    • Evaluate monitoring platforms (Datadog, Splunk, Elastic, CloudWatch, Grafana + Prometheus)
    • Define integration requirements with existing infrastructure
    • Plan metric collection, log aggregation, and trace correlation
    • Design dashboard hierarchy (executive overview, team-specific, service-specific)

  5. Create runbooks for common alerts:

    • Write step-by-step response procedures for each alert type
    • Include investigation steps, containment actions, and escalation criteria
    • Define automated response actions for high-confidence detections
    • Link runbooks to alert configurations for quick access during incidents

  6. Define SLOs for detection and response:

    • Mean time to detect (MTTD) targets by threat category
    • Mean time to respond (MTTR) targets by severity level
    • Alert accuracy targets (minimize false positive rate)
    • Coverage targets (percentage of critical systems monitored)
    • Define measurement and reporting cadence

  7. Write the artifact to .metapowers/security/$ARGUMENTS/03-detect.md with heading:

    Monitoring Strategy

    Include sections:

    • Monitoring Scope — events and systems to monitor with rationale
    • Alert Thresholds — severity levels, thresholds, and response timeframes
    • On-Call and Escalation — rotation schedule and escalation paths
    • Monitoring Stack — selected tools and integration architecture
    • Runbooks — response procedures per alert type
    • Detection SLOs — MTTD, MTTR, accuracy, and coverage targets

Output

The monitoring strategy written to .metapowers/security/$ARGUMENTS/03-detect.md. Present a summary to the user highlighting:

  • Key events and systems to be monitored
  • Alert severity levels and response timeframes
  • On-call structure and escalation paths
  • Detection SLO targets
