|
|
- Do NOT skip incident runbooks (prepare for failures)
|
|
- Do NOT log sensitive data (PII, passwords, tokens)
|
|
- Do NOT monitor only happy path (alert on errors)
|
|
- Always prepare for worst-case scenarios
|
|
|
|
OBSERVABILITY PILLARS
|
|
|
|
**Metrics** (Quantitative):
|
|
- Response time (latency)
|
|
- Throughput (requests/second)
|
|
- Error rate (% failures)
|
|
- Resource usage (CPU, memory, disk)
|
|
- Business metrics (signups, transactions, revenue)
|
|
|
|
**Logs** (Detailed events):
|
|
- Application logs (errors, warnings, info)
|
|
- Access logs (HTTP requests)
|
|
- Audit logs (who did what)
|
|
- Debug logs (development only)
|
|
- Structured logs (JSON, easily searchable)
|
|
|
|
**Traces** (Request flow):
|
|
- Distributed tracing (request path through system)
|
|
- Latency breakdown (where is time spent)
|
|
- Error traces (stack traces)
|
|
- Dependencies (which services called)
|
|
|
|
**Alerts** (Proactive notification):
|
|
- Threshold-based (metric > limit)
|
|
- Anomaly-based (unusual pattern)
|
|
- Composite (multiple conditions)
|
|
- Routing (who to notify)
|
|
|
|
MONITORING TOOLS
|
|
|
|
**Metrics**:
|
|
- Prometheus: Metrics collection and alerting
|
|
- Grafana: Dashboard and visualization
|
|
- Datadog: APM and monitoring platform
|
|
- CloudWatch: AWS monitoring
|
|
|
|
**Logging**:
|
|
- ELK Stack: Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana
|
|
- Datadog: Centralized log management
|
|
- CloudWatch: AWS logging
|
|
- Splunk: Enterprise logging
|
|
|
|
**Tracing**:
|
|
- Jaeger: Distributed tracing
|
|
- Zipkin: Open-source tracing
|
|
- Datadog APM: Application performance monitoring
|
|
|
|
**Alerting**:
|
|
- PagerDuty: Incident alerting
|
|
- Opsgenie: Alert management
|
|
- Prometheus Alertmanager: Open-source alerting
|
|
|
|
SLO AND ERROR BUDGETS
|
|
|
|
**SLO Definition**:
|
|
- Availability: 99.9% uptime (8.7 hours downtime/year)
|
|
- Latency: 95% requests <200ms
|
|
- Error rate: <0.1% failed requests
|
|
|
|
**Error Budget**:
|
|
- SLO: 99.9% availability
|
|
- Error budget: 0.1% = 8.7 hours downtime/year
|
|
- Use budget for deployments, experiments, etc.
|
|
- Exhausted budget = deployment freeze until recovery
|
|
|
|
HEALTH CHECKS
|
|
|
|
**Endpoint Health Checks**:
|
|
- `/health` endpoint returns current health
|
|
- Check dependencies (database, cache, external services)
|
|
- Return 200 if healthy, 503 if unhealthy
|
|
- Include metrics (response time, database latency)
|
|
|
|
**Example Health Check**:
|
|
```javascript
|
|
app.get('/health', async (req, res) => {
|
|
const database = await checkDatabase();
|
|
const cache = await checkCache();
|
|
const external = await checkExternalService();
|
|
|
|
const healthy = database && cache && external;
|
|
const status = healthy ? 200 : 503;
|
|
|
|
res.status(status).json({
|
|
status: healthy ? 'healthy' : 'degraded',
|
|
timestamp: new Date(),
|
|
checks: { database, cache, external }
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
INCIDENT RESPONSE RUNBOOKS
|
|
|
|
**Create runbooks for common incidents**:
|
|
- Database down
|
|
- API endpoint slow
|
|
- High error rate
|
|
- Memory leak
|
|
- Cache failure
|
|
|
|
**Runbook Format**:
|
|
```
|
|
## [Incident Type]
|
|
|
|
**Detection**:
|
|
- Alert: [which alert fires]
|
|
- Symptoms: [what users see]
|
|
|
|
**Diagnosis**:
|
|
1. Check [metric 1]
|
|
2. Check [metric 2]
|
|
3. Verify [dependency]
|
|
|
|
**Resolution**:
|
|
1. [First step]
|
|
2. [Second step]
|
|
3. [Verification]
|
|
|
|
**Post-Incident**:
|
|
- Incident report
|
|
- Root cause analysis
|
|
- Preventive actions
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
STRUCTURED LOGGING
|
|
|
|
**Log Format** (structured JSON):
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"timestamp": "2025-10-21T10:00:00Z",
|
|
"level": "error",
|
|
"service": "api",
|
|
"message": "Database connection failed",
|
|
"error": "ECONNREFUSED",
|
|
"request_id": "req-123",
|
|
"user_id": "user-456",
|
|
"trace_id": "trace-789",
|
|
"metadata": {
|
|
"database": "production",
|
|
"retry_count": 3
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Log Levels**:
|
|
- ERROR: Service unavailable, data loss
|
|
- WARN: Degraded behavior, unexpected condition
|
|
- INFO: Important state changes, deployments
|
|
- DEBUG: Detailed diagnostic information (dev only)
|
|
|
|
