Let’s design a hybrid workflow that combines classic monitoring (Prometheus + Grafana) with AI-driven orchestration (LangChain + LangGraph). This will give you a system that not only collects metrics but can also reason about anomalies, generate insights, and trigger actions.

1. Core Monitoring Stack

Prometheus

Scrapes metrics from your services, infrastructure, and exporters.
Stores them in a time-series database.
Provides alerting rules (via Alertmanager).

Example prometheus.yml scrape config:

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'node_exporter'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9100']
  - job_name: 'app_service'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['app:8080']

Grafana

Connects to Prometheus as a data source.
Provides dashboards for CPU, memory, request latency, error rates, etc.
Can visualize anomaly scores pushed from LangGraph.

Example datasource config (provisioning/datasources/datasource.yml):

apiVersion: 1
datasources:
- name: Prometheus
  type: prometheus
  access: proxy
  url: http://prometheus:9090

2. AI Orchestration Layer

We insert LangChain + LangGraph on top of Prometheus queries. This layer fetches metrics, applies reasoning, and produces human-friendly alerts or triggers actions.

LangChain Components

Prometheus Retriever: Python wrapper around PromQL queries.
LLMChain: Summarizes and explains anomalies.
Tool Nodes: Custom nodes for querying metrics and writing alerts.

LangGraph Workflow

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, END
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from prometheus_api_client import PrometheusConnect

# Initialize LLM and Prometheus
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4.1")
prom = PrometheusConnect(url="http://localhost:9090", disable_ssl=True)

# Node 1: Query Prometheus
def query_metrics(state):
    cpu_usage = prom.custom_query(query='100 - (avg by(instance)(rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode="idle"}[5m])) * 100)')
    state["cpu_usage"] = cpu_usage
    return state

# Node 2: Analyze with LLM
def analyze_metrics(state):
    prompt = f"System metrics: {state['cpu_usage']}. Summarize performance issues."
    state["analysis"] = llm.predict(prompt)
    return state

# Node 3: Generate Action
def decide_action(state):
    if "high" in state["analysis"].lower():
        state["action"] = "Send alert to Grafana/Slack"
    else:
        state["action"] = "No anomaly"
    return state

# Build graph
graph = StateGraph()
graph.add_node("query", query_metrics)
graph.add_node("analyze", analyze_metrics)
graph.add_node("action", decide_action)

graph.set_entry_point("query")
graph.add_edge("query", "analyze")
graph.add_edge("analyze", "action")
graph.add_edge("action", END)

monitor_graph = graph.compile()

Run it:

result = monitor_graph.invoke({})
print(result["analysis"], result["action"])

3. Integration with Grafana

Push AI-detected anomalies into Prometheus (pushgateway) or Grafana Loki (logs).
Grafana panels visualize both raw metrics and LLM summaries.
Grafana Alertmanager can forward alerts enriched with AI context.

Example: push anomaly score back to Prometheus:

import requests
requests.post("http://pushgateway:9091/metrics/job/ai_analysis", data="""
ai_anomaly_score 0.87
""")

4. Extended Workflow

Performance baseline learning: Use LangGraph to compare current metrics vs historical trends.
Root-cause suggestions: Chain logs + metrics into the LLM for hypothesis generation.
A2A orchestration: One agent monitors infra, another interprets business KPIs (response time, churn), and they exchange summaries via LangGraph.

✅ End result:

Prometheus + Grafana = metrics & dashboards
LangChain + LangGraph = reasoning, summarization, anomaly interpretation, automated responses
