SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prometheus-based observability for vmkteam services, enabling fast identification of performance bottlenecks and reliability issues by exposing a unified set of metrics.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Collects and exposes HTTP, RPC, and cron metrics for vmkteam/appkit, vmkteam/zenrpc, and vmkteam/cron.
  • Provides ready-to-run queries and PromQL patterns to monitor request rates, latencies, error rates, and resource usage.
  • Use Case: Operators create dashboards and alerts to detect latency regressions and throughput drops in production services.

Quick Start

Query Prometheus to retrieve service metrics and feed them into dashboards or alerts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor HTTP and RPC service metrics with Prometheus?

Prometheus monitoring tracks HTTP, RPC, and cron service metrics by defining specific metric types and labels. It exposes a unified set of metrics to identify performance bottlenecks and reliability issues across vmkteam services.

What PromQL queries should I use to measure service latency and error rates?

You use ready-to-run PromQL patterns to measure service latency and error rates by querying collected HTTP and RPC metrics. These queries help detect latency regressions and throughput drops in your production services.

Can I track cron job metrics alongside HTTP and RPC observability data?

Yes, you can track cron job metrics alongside HTTP and RPC data. The observability setup collects and exposes metrics for vmkteam/appkit, vmkteam/zenrpc, and vmkteam/cron, enabling unified visibility across all service types.

Does this Prometheus observability setup work with vmkteam/appkit and vmkteam/zenrpc?

Yes, this Prometheus observability setup works directly with vmkteam/appkit and vmkteam/zenrpc. It applies predefined metric types and PromQL queries to these frameworks to compute RPS, latency, error rates, and resource usage.

How do I get started building dashboards and alerts for service reliability?

To get started building dashboards and alerts, you query Prometheus to retrieve service metrics and feed them into your visualization tools. A built-in guide and quick start provide ready-to-run queries for monitoring reliability.

What is the best way to identify performance bottlenecks in production services?

The best way to identify performance bottlenecks is by exposing a unified set of Prometheus metrics and applying PromQL queries. This allows operators to detect latency regressions, throughput drops, and resource usage issues quickly.
