SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Observability gaps in Python applications make it hard to diagnose production issues and optimize performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured logging with consistent fields for diagnostics and dashboards.
  • Metrics collection using Prometheus-compatible exporters and OpenTelemetry metrics.
  • Distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry to trace requests across services.
  • Propagation of correlation IDs across service boundaries to enable end-to-end tracing.
  • Debugging production incidents and building observability dashboards.

Quick Start

Run a minimal setup to enable structured logging, metrics, and tracing in your Python service.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement observability in Python microservices with logs, metrics, and traces?▼

Implement Python observability by unifying structured logging, metrics collection, and distributed tracing. Use OpenTelemetry for tracing, Prometheus for metrics, and structlog for consistent diagnostic fields across microservices.

What is the best way to set up distributed tracing across Python services?▼

Distributed tracing across Python services is set up using OpenTelemetry to track requests across boundaries. Propagate correlation IDs end-to-end to enable tracing and debug production incidents effectively.

How do I add structured logging to a Python application for production diagnostics?▼

Add structured logging to Python applications using structlog to output consistent fields. This enables actionable dashboards and improves diagnostics for debugging production incidents.

Does OpenTelemetry work with Prometheus for Python metrics collection?▼

OpenTelemetry works with Prometheus for Python metrics collection by using Prometheus-compatible exporters. This combination captures actionable metrics to optimize performance and build observability dashboards.

How do I propagate correlation IDs across Python service boundaries for end-to-end tracing?▼

Propagate correlation IDs across Python service boundaries using OpenTelemetry to enable end-to-end tracing. This unifies logs, metrics, and traces to diagnose production issues across microservices.

When do I need to unify logs, metrics, and traces in my Python application?▼

Unify logs, metrics, and traces in Python applications when observability gaps make it hard to diagnose production issues. This approach optimizes performance and creates actionable dashboards across microservices.
