Comprehensive observability and monitoring system for RustFS distributed object storage
--- ## ๐ Overview **RustFS Obs** provides comprehensive observability and monitoring capabilities for the [RustFS](https://rustfs.com) distributed object storage system. For the complete RustFS experience, please visit the [main RustFS repository](https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs). ## โจ Features - **Environment-Aware Logging**: Automatically configures logging behavior based on deployment environment - Production: File-only logging (stdout disabled by default for security and log aggregation) - Development/Test: Full logging with stdout support for debugging - OpenTelemetry integration for distributed tracing - Prometheus metrics collection and exposition - Structured logging with configurable levels and rotation - Performance profiling and analytics - Real-time health checks and status monitoring - Custom dashboards and alerting integration - Enhanced error handling and resilience ## ๐ Environment-Aware Logging The obs module automatically adapts logging behavior based on your deployment environment: ### Production Environment ```bash # Set production environment - disables stdout logging by default export RUSTFS_OBS_ENVIRONMENT=production # All logs go to files only (no stdout) for security and log aggregation # Enhanced error handling with clear failure diagnostics ``` ### Development/Test Environment ```bash # Set development environment - enables stdout logging export RUSTFS_OBS_ENVIRONMENT=development # Logs appear both in files and stdout for easier debugging # Full span tracking and verbose error messages ``` ### Configuration Override You can always override the environment defaults: ```rust use rustfs_obs::OtelConfig; let config = OtelConfig { endpoint: "".to_string(), use_stdout: Some(true), // Explicit override - forces stdout even in production environment: Some("production".to_string()), ..Default::default() }; ``` ### Supported Environment Values - `production` - Secure file-only logging - `development` - Full debugging with stdout - `test` - Test environment with stdout support - `staging` - Staging environment with stdout support ## ๐ Documentation For comprehensive documentation, examples, and usage guides, please visit the main [RustFS repository](https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs). ## ๐ License This project is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 - see the [LICENSE](../../LICENSE) file for details.
