🚀 Quick Start

1. Set Environment Variables

export PAGERDUTY_ML_INTEGRATION_KEY=your_pagerduty_integration_key

2. Deploy Grafana Dashboard

# Import dashboard via Grafana UI
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/dashboards/db \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GRAFANA_API_KEY" \
  -d @monitoring/grafana/ml_training_dashboard.json

3. Reload Prometheus Configuration

# Reload Prometheus to pick up new alert rules

4. Update AlertManager Configuration

Add ML training service routes to monitoring/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml:

route:
  routes:
    # ... existing routes ...

    # ML Training Service routes
    - match:
        component: ml
      receiver: 'ml-alerts'
      routes:
        - match:
            severity: critical
          receiver: 'ml-critical-alerts'
        - match:
            severity: warning

💰 Cost Tracking

S3 Storage Cost Calculation

// $0.023 per GB/month (AWS S3 Standard)
let storage_gb = storage_bytes / 1e9;
let monthly_cost = storage_gb * 0.023;

Example:

• 500GB → $11.50/month
• 1TB → $23/month

GPU Cost Calculation

GPU Type	Cost/Hour	Notes
RTX 3050 Ti	$0.00	Local GPU (already owned)
A100	$2.50	Cloud GPU (AWS p4d.24xlarge)
V100	$1.50	Cloud GPU (AWS p3.2xlarge)
T4	$0.35	Cloud GPU (GCP n1-highmem-8)

Example:

• 100 hours RTX 3050 Ti → $0.00
• 50 hours A100 → $125.00

Budget Alert Thresholds

• 80%: Warning alert (review costs, optimize usage)
• 100%: High alert (immediate action required)

---

📈 Data Drift Detection

Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test

Compares training data distribution with production data distribution:

// KS statistic: maximum difference between empirical CDFs
let ks_stat = max_diff_between_cdfs(training_data, production_data);

// Drift threshold: 0.15 (configurable)
if ks_stat > 0.15 {
    alert!("DataDriftDetected");
}

Interpretation:

• 0.0 - 0.10: No drift (distributions similar)
• 0.10 - 0.20: Minor drift (monitor closely)
• 0.20 - 0.50: Significant drift (consider retraining)
• 0.50+: Major drift (immediate retraining required)

📝 Runbook References

GPU OOM (Out of Memory)

URL: https://docs.foxhunt.io/runbooks/gpu-oom

Steps:

1. Check nvidia-smi for memory usage
2. Reduce batch size by 50%
3. Enable gradient checkpointing
4. Clear GPU cache: torch.cuda.empty_cache()
5. If still OOM, kill training job and investigate

Training Job Stuck

URL: https://docs.foxhunt.io/runbooks/stuck-job

Steps:

1. Check job logs for last update timestamp
2. Verify GPU availability (nvidia-smi)
3. Check data loader (potential deadlock)
4. Kill stuck job: tli job cancel --job-id <uuid>
5. Restart job with increased timeout

S3 Storage Cleanup

URL: https://docs.foxhunt.io/runbooks/s3-cleanup

Steps:

1. List old model versions: aws s3 ls s3://foxhunt-models/
2. Archive checkpoints >90 days old to Glacier

4. Review retention policy (default: 90 days)
5. Verify storage usage: ml_model_storage_used_bytes
