📖 Overview

RustFS Obs provides comprehensive observability and monitoring capabilities for the RustFS distributed object storage system. For the complete RustFS experience, please visit the main RustFS repository.

✨ 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

🚀 Environment-Aware Logging

The obs module automatically adapts logging behavior based on your deployment environment:

Production Environment

# 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

# 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:

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
