Prometheus: instrumenting services and batch jobs

Prometheus instrumentation guidance distinguishes online services, offline processing and batch jobs. For online services it highlights request volume, errors, latency and in-progress work. These categories help organize measurements for an agent service without treating every individual request as a human-facing alert.
