+## Common PromQL Queries
+
+### StatefulSet Health Monitoring
+
+**Check StatefulSet rollout status:**
+
+```promql
+# Percentage of updated replicas
+(kube_statefulset_status_replicas_updated / kube_statefulset_replicas) * 100
+```
+
+**Monitor unavailable replicas:**
+
+```promql
+# Number of unavailable replicas
+kube_statefulset_replicas - kube_statefulset_status_replicas_available
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting Queries
+
+**Find StatefulSets with outdated replicas:**
+
+```promql
+# StatefulSets with replicas not yet updated
+kube_statefulset_status_replicas_current != kube_statefulset_status_replicas_updated
+```
+
+**StatefulSets stuck during rollout:**
+
+```promql
+# StatefulSets where observed generation is behind metadata generation
+kube_statefulset_status_observed_generation < kube_statefulset_metadata_generation
+```
+
+**StatefulSets with scaling issues:**
+
+```promql
+# StatefulSets where current replicas don't match desired
+kube_statefulset_status_replicas_current != kube_statefulset_replicas
+```
+
+## Major Alerting Rules
+
+### Critical Alerts
+
+**StatefulSet is completely down:**
+
+```yaml
+- alert: StatefulSetDown
+  expr: kube_statefulset_status_replicas_available == 0 and kube_statefulset_replicas > 0
+  for: 5m
+  labels:
+    severity: critical
+  annotations:
+    summary: "StatefulSet {{ $labels.statefulset }} is completely down"
+    description: "StatefulSet {{ $labels.statefulset }} in namespace {{ $labels.namespace }} has no available replicas despite having {{ $labels.replicas }} desired replicas."
+```
+
+**StatefulSet rollout stuck:**
+
+```yaml
+- alert: StatefulSetRolloutStuck
+  expr: kube_statefulset_status_observed_generation < kube_statefulset_metadata_generation
+  for: 15m
+  labels:
+    severity: critical
+  annotations:
+    summary: "StatefulSet {{ $labels.statefulset }} rollout is stuck"
+    description: "StatefulSet {{ $labels.statefulset }} in namespace {{ $labels.namespace }} has been stuck rolling out for more than 15 minutes."
+```
+
+### Warning Alerts
+
+**StatefulSet has unavailable replicas:**
+
+```yaml
+- alert: StatefulSetReplicasUnavailable
+  expr: (kube_statefulset_replicas - kube_statefulset_status_replicas_available) > 0
+  for: 5m
+  labels:
+    severity: warning
+  annotations:
+    summary: "StatefulSet {{ $labels.statefulset }} has unavailable replicas"
+    description: "StatefulSet {{ $labels.statefulset }} in namespace {{ $labels.namespace }} has {{ $value }} unavailable replicas."
+```
+
+**StatefulSet replica count mismatch:**
+
+```yaml
+- alert: StatefulSetReplicasMismatch
+  expr: kube_statefulset_status_replicas_current != kube_statefulset_replicas
+  for: 10m
+  labels:
+    severity: warning
+  annotations:
+    summary: "StatefulSet {{ $labels.statefulset }} replica count mismatch"
+    description: "StatefulSet {{ $labels.statefulset }} in namespace {{ $labels.namespace }} has {{ $labels.status_replicas_current }} current replicas but {{ $labels.replicas }} are desired."
+```
