SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Designs production telemetry with structured logs, useful metrics, trace propagation, correlation IDs, safe redaction, and business-event observability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establishes a unified telemetry model across services, databases, and external integrations.
  • Defines correlation IDs, redaction rules, and business-event visibility to support incident response, audits, and compliance.
  • Use Case: In a payments workflow, traces connect a request from the frontend through services to the processor, linking logs, metrics, and events for end-to-end visibility.

Quick Start

Configure the telemetry blueprint to instrument a new service, including log schema, metrics, and trace propagation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement distributed tracing with correlation IDs across multiple services?

Distributed tracing uses correlation IDs to connect logs, metrics, and events across services, databases, and external integrations. This provides end-to-end visibility for diagnosing failures in multi-service architectures and complex workflows.

What is the best way to structure logs and metrics for production telemetry?

Production telemetry requires structured logs and metrics with clear units and cardinality limits. A standardized telemetry model ensures consistent observability across services, supporting incident response and compliance audits.

How do I safely apply log redaction for sensitive business events in regulated environments?

Log redaction in regulated environments uses defined rules to mask sensitive data while maintaining business-event visibility. This ensures compliance and auditability without losing critical observability context.

Does end-to-end observability work for payments workflows and external integrations?

End-to-end observability works for payments workflows by linking logs, metrics, and events from the frontend through services to the processor. This traces requests across external integrations for rapid failure diagnosis.

How do I configure a telemetry blueprint to instrument a new service?

Configuring a telemetry blueprint instruments a new service by defining the log schema, metrics, and trace propagation. This establishes a unified telemetry model across the application architecture.

When do I need business-event observability in a multi-service architecture?

Business-event observability is needed in multi-service architectures to support incident response, audits, and compliance. It provides visibility into distributed events and regulated environments where safe redaction is required.
