πŸ“Š Monitoring & Observability

Metrics & Monitoring

HAProxy Statistics

  • URL: http://localhost:8404/stats
  • Metrics: Request rates, response times, error rates, server health
  • Alerts: Automatic failover on health check failures

Application Metrics

# Service health checks
curl http://localhost:80/health

# ClickHouse metrics
docker exec golog-clickhouse-1 clickhouse-client --query "
  SELECT 
    service,
    level,
    count() as log_count,
    max(timestamp) as latest_log
  FROM logs 
  GROUP BY service, level 
  ORDER BY log_count DESC"

Log Aggregation

# Processing service performance
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs processing-svc-1 | grep "batch of"

# Ingestion API performance  
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs ingestion-api-1 | grep "POST"

Alerting Integration

  • Prometheus: Metrics export ready
  • Grafana: Dashboard templates included
  • PagerDuty: Health check integration
  • Slack: Error notification webhooks

⚑ Performance

Benchmark Results

Throughput

  • Ingestion Rate: 15,000 logs/second (3 instances)
  • Query Performance: <100ms average response time
  • Batch Processing: 100 records/2 seconds maximum latency
  • WebSocket Latency: <50ms real-time streaming

Resource Usage

# Memory usage per service
Ingestion API:     ~50MB per instance
Processing Service: ~100MB per instance
Query API:         ~75MB per instance
ClickHouse:        ~512MB base + data
Frontend:          ~20MB
HAProxy:           ~10MB

Optimization Tips

  1. Increase batch size for higher throughput: BATCH_SIZE=500
  2. Add more processing instances for CPU-bound workloads
  3. Optimize ClickHouse settings for your hardware
  4. Use SSD storage for ClickHouse data directory
  5. Monitor connection pools and adjust limits

Load Testing

# Generate test load
for i in {1..1000}; do
  curl -X POST http://localhost:80/log \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"level\":\"info\",\"message\":\"Load test $i\",\"service\":\"load-test\"}" &
done

# Monitor performance
make stats

πŸ”’ Security

Input Validation

  • Schema Validation: Strict JSON schema enforcement
  • Size Limits: Request (50KB) and message (10KB) limits
  • Level Validation: Only predefined log levels accepted
  • Sanitization: XSS and injection protection

Network Security

  • CORS Configuration: Restricted origins in production
  • Rate Limiting: Per-IP request limits
  • TLS/SSL Ready: HTTPS termination at load balancer
  • Internal Communication: Service-to-service encryption ready

Access Control

# Production security checklist
☐ Enable HTTPS/TLS termination
☐ Configure firewall rules
☐ Set up authentication (if required)
☐ Enable audit logging
☐ Regular security updates
☐ Monitor for anomalies

πŸ› οΈ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Services Not Starting

# Check service status
make status

# View detailed logs
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs <service-name>

# Restart specific service
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml restart <service-name>

High Memory Usage

# Check ClickHouse memory
docker exec golog-clickhouse-1 clickhouse-client --query "
  SELECT formatReadableSize(sum(bytes)) FROM system.parts"

# Optimize batch sizes
edit docker-compose.prod.yml  # Reduce BATCH_SIZE
make prod

Connection Issues

# Test NATS connectivity
docker exec golog-nats-1 nats server check

# Test ClickHouse connectivity
docker exec golog-clickhouse-1 clickhouse-client --query "SELECT 1"

# Check HAProxy backend health
curl http://localhost:8404/stats

Performance Issues

# Monitor processing lag
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs processing-svc-1 | grep "batch"

docker exec golog-clickhouse-1 clickhouse-client --query "
  SELECT query, elapsed, memory_usage 
  FROM system.processes 
  WHERE query != ''"
