Monitoring

Monitoring and Observability¶

hetida designer supports opentelemetry observability / monitoring via logfire against custom backends.

To activate it, set the environment variable HD_OTEL_VIA_LOGFIRE_ACTIVE to true for backend and runtime containers. This will among others instrument httpx, asgi, and logging. Furthermore several custom spans are provided for the transformation excecution process.

You can then use opentelemtry environment variables like OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT to configure the otel collector / backend to which spans, metrics and logs will be sent. We recommend to also set at least OTEL_SERVICE_NAME to hetida-designer-backend or hetida-designer-runtime. As an example the docker-compose-dev setup has telemetry activated and comes with a Grafana Stack Single Container service.
