The 4-skill bundle on the integration-health-monitor agent

Marketing-stack integration-health monitoring is one skill on the integration-health-monitor agent. The skill decomposes into four operationally distinct sub-skills, each with its own success criteria and its own handoff to the next.

1. Probe

Three probe categories per vendor integration: synthetic transactions (full-flow test transactions via Datadog Synthetics + New Relic Synthetics + Pingdom + Uptrends + Checkly + Catchpoint + ThousandEyes + Better Stack on operator-defined cadence — hourly for high-criticality + daily for low-criticality); API health checks (per-endpoint authenticated probe via Postman Monitors + Runscope (BlazeMeter) + Sauce Labs API + Apigee Monitoring + Kong + Tyk + AWS API Gateway); passive observation (per-request latency + error-rate from production traffic via APM Datadog + New Relic + Splunk + Dynatrace + AppDynamics + Honeycomb + Lightstep + Grafana + Prometheus + Loki + OpenTelemetry + Jaeger + Zipkin + Tempo). Each probe records result + latency + error context + correlation ID into the unified observability substrate.

2. Detect

Compare each probe result against operator-defined SLO. Per-SLO error-budget tracked (burn-rate per Google SRE Workbook discipline). Fast burn that exhausts monthly error budget in hours signals active incident; slow burn over weeks signals trend requiring attention but not paging. Symptom-based alerting preferred over cause-based (alert on customer-visible degradation, not internal metric thresholds that may not affect customers). Alert deduplication aggregates correlated probe failures into single alert with full failure context rather than paging on-call 50 times for one underlying vendor outage. LLM-assisted Detect (anomaly classification + root-cause hypothesis) under NIST AI RMF + ISO 42001 + EU AI Act + per-vendor zero- retention, but LLM is NEVER in the critical path of the gating decision — symptom-based threshold rules are.

3. Triage

Operator-defined severity policy: P0 = customer- facing degradation across multiple banners or locations, immediate paging; P1 = customer-facing degradation contained to one banner or location, same-day response; P2 = operational degradation without customer impact, next-business-day response; P3 = trend signal requiring monitoring but not paging. Severity drives Notify destination + response -window. Triage decision recorded in routing-audit- trail with rationale.

4. Notify

P0 + P1 page on-call via PagerDuty + Opsgenie + xMatters + ServiceNow + Jira Service Management + Squadcast + Better Stack. P2 lands in integration- health queue for next-business-day review. P3 surfaces in weekly SRE retrospective. Status pages (Atlassian StatusPage + Statuspal + Sorry + Status Hero + Status Cake) update on P0 + P1 incidents for downstream consumers (franchisees + corporate marketing + executive team). Every notify decision recorded in routing-audit-trail.

The real ecosystem this skill sits above

APM + observability + tracing substrate

Datadog, New Relic, Splunk, Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Honeycomb, Lightstep, Grafana + Prometheus + Loki + Tempo (Grafana stack) for APM and metrics. OpenTelemetry + Jaeger + Zipkin + Honeycomb + Lightstep for distributed tracing. Splunk + ELK (Elastic) + Datadog Logs + Sumo Logic + LogDNA (Mezmo) + Loki + Fluentd for log aggregation.

Synthetic + API monitoring substrate

Datadog Synthetics, New Relic Synthetics, Pingdom, Uptrends, Checkly, Catchpoint, ThousandEyes, Better Stack for synthetic transactions. Postman Monitors, Runscope (BlazeMeter), Sauce Labs API, Apigee Monitoring, Kong, Tyk, AWS API Gateway monitoring for API health checks.

Incident + status-page substrate

PagerDuty, Opsgenie, xMatters, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Squadcast, Better Stack for incident routing. Atlassian StatusPage, Statuspal, Sorry, Status Hero, Status Cake for status-page updates on P0 + P1 incidents to downstream consumers.

5-anchor compliance overlay

Anchor 1 — SRE/SLO + ITIL 4 + SOC 2 CC7 + ISO 27001 A.12.1 + NIST SP 800-53 SI operations-monitoring discipline (operationally distinctive)

Integration-health monitoring at multi-vendor scale is fundamentally a system-operations + system- integrity activity. Google Site Reliability Engineering principles (the SRE Workbook) define service-level objectives, error budgets, and alert quality discipline (alerting on symptoms not causes + eliminating non-actionable alerts + alert fatigue avoidance). ITIL 4 service-management framework structures event + incident + problem + change management. SOC 2 Type II Common Criteria CC7 (system operations) requires demonstration of monitoring of system performance + detection + response to events. ISO 27001 Annex A.12.1 (operational procedures and responsibilities) requires documented operations procedures + change management + capacity management + environment separation. NIST SP 800-53 SI controls (system and information integrity) cover error handling + monitoring + flaw remediation. The Probe + Detect + Triage + Notify sub-skills emit the per-vendor + per-integration evidence record that surveillance audits and SRE retrospectives consume. Operationally distinctive — this is the unique operations-monitoring frame.

Anchor 2 — Per-vendor SLA contract obligations

Every vendor contract carries SLA commitments the operator can hold the vendor to. The Probe sub- skill produces independent evidence of SLA compliance; when the vendor SLA is breached, the operator has the evidence record to invoke contract remedies (service credits, contract renegotiation, or termination). Per-vendor SLA is documented in the integration-health registry alongside the operator-defined SLO.

Anchor 3 — SOC 2 CC8 + ISO 27001 A.12.6 + handoff into tiered-auto-remediation

When integration-health drift triggers a change- management workflow (vendor API contract change detected, deprecation header observed, sunset announcement received), SOC 2 Common Criteria CC8 (change management) + ISO 27001 Annex A.12.6 (technical vulnerability management) apply. The Triage sub-skill hands off to the tiered-auto- remediation skill (sibling build-pillar at /how-to-build-tiered-auto-remediation-for-vendor-api -drift) which then runs the Classify + Gate + Approve + Roll-back cycle on the detected drift.

Anchor 4 — CCPA + CPRA + state-comprehensive-privacy + GDPR

When health-monitoring data includes personal information correlated to user sessions (synthetic transactions impersonate user paths and may carry test PII; APM traces may include request payloads with personal data), CCPA + CPRA + state- comprehensive-privacy + GDPR data-processor + sub-processor obligations apply to the observability substrate. PII scrubbing rules in APM + log aggregation are operator-defined + audited.

Anchor 5 — NIST AI RMF + ISO 42001 + EU AI Act + per-vendor LLM zero-retention

When AI-driven Detect (LLM anomaly classification + root-cause hypothesis) is used, NIST AI Risk Management Framework + ISO 42001 + applicable EU AI Act articles + per-vendor LLM zero-retention posture apply. The LLM is NEVER in the critical path of the gating decision — symptom-based threshold rules are. LLM proposal is recorded with model + prompt-template + confidence in the routing-audit-trail.

6-workstream pre-engagement-baseline reporting cycle

SLO conformance and alert quality are what the data shows after the monitoring is built, not numbers Completions promises in advance.

Probe coverage. Per-vendor synthetic- transaction cadence adherence, per-vendor API health- check coverage, per-vendor passive-observation coverage, per-vendor SLO documentation completeness, per-vendor SLO operator-counsel + vendor-team agreement.
Detect quality. Per-SLO error-budget tracking accuracy, per-SLO burn-rate threshold calibration, per-incident alert-deduplication effectiveness, per-incident symptom-vs-cause alerting balance, per-Detect-LLM-classification accuracy where LLM-assisted.
Triage quality. Per-incident severity classification accuracy, per-incident operator-policy adherence, per-incident routing destination correctness, per-incident response-window adherence.
Notify quality. Per-on-call paging- latency, per-on-call acknowledgment-time, per-status- page update freshness, per-incident downstream- notification reach.
5-anchor compliance posture freshness. SRE/SLO discipline + ITIL 4 service management + SOC 2 Type II CC7 + CC8 + ISO 27001 Annex A.12.1 + A.12.6 + NIST SP 800-53 SI + per-vendor SLA contract posture + CCPA + CPRA + state-comprehensive-privacy + GDPR + NIST AI RMF + ISO 42001 + EU AI Act + per- vendor LLM zero-retention posture.
Audit-trail completeness. Per-probe canonical record, per-detect decision record, per- triage classification record, per-notify routing record.

Frequently asked questions

What does marketing-stack integration-health monitoring for multi-vendor campaign operations actually solve?

A multi-vendor marketing-stack operator runs campaigns whose every step depends on a different vendor API: ad-platform bid + spend (Google Ads + Meta + TikTok + LinkedIn + Pinterest + Reddit + Snap + X + Microsoft + Amazon Ads), campaign-asset publishing (Google Ads creative upload, Meta Ads catalog feed, TikTok Spark Ads, LinkedIn Dynamic Ads), conversion tracking (GA4 + Adobe Analytics + Mixpanel + Amplitude + PostHog), CRM enrichment (HubSpot + Salesforce + Pipedrive), CDP identity stitching (Segment + RudderStack + mParticle + Snowplow), email + SMS delivery (Klaviyo + Iterable + Braze + Mailchimp + Twilio + MessageBird), listings + reviews (Yext + Synup + Uberall + SOCi + BrightLocal + Moz Local), call tracking (CallRail + Invoca + CallTrackingMetrics + WhatConverts). When any of those integrations drops below operator-defined SLO — webhook delivery delayed, API rate-limit hit, authentication token expired, partial data loss, schema unexpectedly changed — the campaign degrades silently. Manual monitoring at 30 vendors does not scale. The skill probes every vendor integration on operator-defined cadences, detects deviation from SLO, triages by severity, and notifies the appropriate on-call without alert fatigue.

Why is SRE/SLO + ITIL 4 + SOC 2 CC7 + ISO 27001 A.12.1 + NIST 800-53 SI the operationally distinctive frame for this skill?

Integration-health monitoring at multi-vendor scale is fundamentally a system-operations + system-integrity activity. Google Site Reliability Engineering principles (the SRE Workbook) define service-level objectives, error budgets, and alert quality discipline (alerting on symptoms not causes, eliminating non-actionable alerts, alert fatigue avoidance). ITIL 4 service-management framework structures event + incident + problem + change management. SOC 2 Type II Common Criteria CC7 (system operations) requires the operator to demonstrate monitoring of system performance + detection + response to events that could affect operations. ISO 27001 Annex A.12.1 (operational procedures and responsibilities) requires documented operations procedures + change management + capacity management + environment separation. NIST SP 800-53 SI controls (system and information integrity) cover error handling + monitoring + flaw remediation. The Probe + Detect + Triage + Notify sub-skills emit the per-vendor + per-integration evidence record that surveillance audits + SRE retrospectives consume. Operationally distinctive — operations-monitoring + SRE discipline + change-management is the unique compliance frame for this skill, not AI governance.

How does the Probe skill exercise per-vendor integrations on operator-defined cadences?

The Probe sub-skill runs three probe categories per vendor integration: synthetic transactions (full-flow test transactions via Datadog Synthetics + New Relic Synthetics + Pingdom + Uptrends + Checkly + Catchpoint + ThousandEyes + Better Stack on operator-defined cadence — typical pattern is hourly for high-criticality integrations and daily for low-criticality); API health checks (per-endpoint authenticated probe via Postman Monitors + Runscope (BlazeMeter) + Sauce Labs API + Apigee Monitoring + Kong + Tyk + AWS API Gateway monitoring); passive observation (per-request latency + error-rate from production traffic via APM tools Datadog + New Relic + Splunk + Dynatrace + AppDynamics + Honeycomb + Lightstep + Grafana + Prometheus + Loki + OpenTelemetry + Jaeger + Zipkin + Tempo). Each probe records result + latency + error context + correlation ID into the unified observability substrate. Per-vendor SLO is operator-defined (typical: 99.5 percent webhook delivery within 5 minutes, 99.9 percent API authentication success, 99 percent campaign-asset publish success, schema-stability on operator-recorded contract).

How does the Detect skill identify SLO deviation without flooding the on-call with non-actionable alerts?

Detect compares each probe result against the operator-defined SLO. Per-SLO error budget is tracked (budget burn rate per SRE Workbook discipline). Detection rules alert on burn-rate exceeding threshold (a fast burn that exhausts the monthly error budget in hours signals an active incident; a slow burn over weeks signals a trend that needs attention but not paging). Symptom-based alerting is preferred over cause-based (alert on customer-visible degradation, not on internal metric thresholds that may not affect customers). Alert deduplication aggregates correlated probe failures into a single alert with the full failure context, rather than paging the on-call 50 times for one underlying vendor outage. LLM-assisted Detect (anomaly classification + root-cause hypothesis) can be used under NIST AI RMF + ISO 42001 + EU AI Act + per-vendor LLM zero-retention, but is never in the critical path of the gating decision — symptom-based threshold rules are.

How does Triage assign severity, and how does Notify reach the right on-call without alert fatigue?

Triage assigns severity per operator-defined policy: P0 = customer-facing degradation across multiple banners or locations, requires immediate paging; P1 = customer-facing degradation contained to one banner or location, requires same-day response; P2 = operational degradation without customer impact, requires next-business-day response; P3 = trend signal requiring monitoring but not paging. Severity routes drive the Notify destination: P0 + P1 page the on-call via PagerDuty + Opsgenie + xMatters + ServiceNow + Jira Service Management + Squadcast + Better Stack; P2 land in the integration-health queue for next-business-day review; P3 surface in the weekly SRE retrospective. Status pages (Atlassian StatusPage + Statuspal + Sorry + Status Hero + Status Cake) update on P0 + P1 incidents for downstream consumers (franchisees + corporate marketing + executive team). Every detection + triage + notify decision is recorded in the routing-audit-trail so SRE retrospectives have the full per-incident timeline.

How does Completions report on this without fabricating KPI commitments?

Pre-engagement baseline is established in the first 30 days. Reporting cycles cover the six workstreams: Probe coverage (per-vendor synthetic-transaction cadence adherence + per-vendor API health-check coverage + per-vendor passive-observation coverage + per-vendor SLO documentation completeness + per-vendor SLO operator-counsel + per-vendor-sla-team agreement), Detect quality (per-SLO error-budget tracking accuracy + per-SLO burn-rate threshold calibration + per-incident alert-deduplication effectiveness + per-incident symptom-vs-cause alerting balance + per-Detect-LLM-classification accuracy if LLM-assisted), Triage quality (per-incident severity classification accuracy + per-incident operator-policy adherence + per-incident routing destination correctness + per-incident response-window adherence), Notify quality (per-on-call paging-latency + per-on-call acknowledgment-time + per-status-page update freshness + per-incident downstream-notification reach), 5-anchor compliance posture freshness (SRE/SLO discipline + ITIL 4 service management + SOC 2 Type II CC7 + CC8 + ISO 27001 Annex A.12.1 + A.12.6 + NIST SP 800-53 SI + per-vendor SLA contract posture + CCPA + CPRA + state-comprehensive-privacy + GDPR + NIST AI RMF + ISO 42001 + EU AI Act posture freshness), audit-trail completeness (per-probe canonical record + per-detect decision record + per-triage classification record + per-notify routing record).
