# JLT Observability Stack
Monitoring, Metrics, Logging & Alerting
This repository documents the observability stack used in the JLT Platform.
The observability stack is responsible for monitoring system health, collecting metrics, visualizing performance, and alerting operators when issues occur.
This represents the **Operations Plane** of the platform.
---
# Observability Goals
The goals of the observability stack are:
- Monitor system health
- Track application performance
- Detect failures early
- Provide visibility into platform operations
- Support incident response
- Provide historical metrics for analysis
- Improve system reliability over time
---
# Observability Components
| Component | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| Prometheus | Metrics collection |
| Grafana | Metrics visualization |
| Logs | Event tracking |
| Alerts | Incident notification |
| Dashboards | System visualization |
| Runbooks | Incident response procedures |
---
# Monitoring Strategy
The platform monitors:
- CPU usage
- Memory usage
- Disk usage
- Application response time
- Error rates
- Request rates
- Service availability
- CI/CD pipeline health
- Deployment success/failure
- Authentication events
---
# Alerting Strategy
Alerts are triggered when:
- CPU exceeds threshold
- Memory exceeds threshold
- Service becomes unavailable
- Error rate increases
- Deployment fails
- Pipeline fails
- Unauthorized access attempts detected
---
# Why Observability Matters
Observability allows platform operators to:
- Detect problems before users do
- Troubleshoot issues quickly
- Understand system behavior
- Improve reliability
- Support production operations
- Maintain service availability
Without observability, a platform cannot be safely operated in production.

# Summary
The Observability Stack represents the **Operations Plane** of the JLT Platform.
It ensures that platform operators can monitor, detect, and respond to system events and incidents.
