Grafana Tempo: cost-efficient distributed tracing with TraceQL

Prerequisites: Docker (quick start) or Kubernetes (production) plus an object-storage bucket (S3/GCS/Azure); a Grafana stack with a Tempo datasource for querying; nothing else — no vendor accounts or keys required for the tracing backend itself Install "Grafana Tempo: cost-efficient distributed tracing with TraceQL" for me. It teaches an agent @grafana's official Tempo workflows: local Docker Compose stand-up with ingestion checks, Kubernetes deployment via the tempo-distributed Helm chart, OTLP/Jaeger/Zipkin ingestion, the distributor→block-builder→object-storage write path, metrics-generator for RED spanmetrics and service graphs, S3/GCS/Azure block storage, X-Scope-OrgID multi-tenancy, TraceQL queries (scopes, structural operators, rate()/quantile_over_time), querier/compactor sizing, and traces-to-logs/metrics/profiles correlation. Apache-2.0 licensed. Repository: https://github.com/grafana/skills/blob/main/skills/grafana-lgtm/tempo/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "tempo". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. choose Docker quick start or the Helm production path; have the object-storage bucket ready; point my Grafana at the Tempo datasource). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
