Description

Summary

Implement comprehensive observability features including metrics, structured logging, and health check endpoints.

Background

Observability is critical for production deployments. Following REQUIREMENTS.md REQ-OBS-001 through REQ-OBS-032.

Requirements

Metrics

  • Queue depth metrics
  • Throughput metrics (messages/second)
  • Latency histograms (enqueue, dequeue, processing)
  • Consumer lag
  • Error rates
  • Resource usage (memory, connections)
  • Prometheus export format for integration with monitoring tools
// Get metrics
const metrics = queue.getMetrics();
console.log(metrics.depth);
console.log(metrics.throughput.enqueued);
console.log(metrics.latency.p99);

// Prometheus endpoint
server.expose('/metrics', PrometheusExporter.format(queue.getMetrics()));

Logging

  • Structured logging (JSON format)
  • Configurable log levels (debug, info, warn, error)
  • Correlation IDs for request tracing
  • Log rotation support
  • Context-aware logging
const queue = new LinksQueue({
  logging: {
    level: 'info',
    format: 'json',
    destination: './logs/queue.log',
    rotate: { maxSize: '10MB', maxFiles: 5 }
  }
});

Health Checks

  • Liveness endpoint: Process is running
  • Readiness endpoint: Ready to accept requests
  • Component health details (backend, cluster, etc.)
  • Kubernetes-compatible format
// Health check endpoints
server.get('/health/live', () => queue.isAlive());
server.get('/health/ready', () => queue.isReady());
server.get('/health/details', () => queue.getHealthDetails());

// Response
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "components": {
    "backend": { "status": "healthy", "latency": 5 },
    "cluster": { "status": "healthy", "nodes": 3 }
  }
}

Management UI (Optional)

  • Web-based dashboard
  • Queue visualization
  • Message inspection
  • Basic operations (purge, move)

Deliverables

JavaScript

  1. src/observability/metrics.ts - Metrics collection
  2. src/observability/prometheus.ts - Prometheus exporter
  3. src/observability/logger.ts - Structured logging
  4. src/observability/health.ts - Health checks
  5. Unit tests

Rust

  1. src/observability/metrics.rs
  2. src/observability/prometheus.rs
  3. src/observability/logger.rs
  4. src/observability/health.rs
  5. Unit tests

Optional

  • Basic management UI (separate package)
