# Monitoring & analytics stack What runs where, and why — the ERP gets the three missing observability layers on the same 8 GB VPS: | Layer | Tool | What it answers | Budget | |---|---|---|---| | Product analytics | **OpenPanel** (self-hosted) | Which features are used? Where do users drop out of the quote wizard? Funnel: login → wizard steps → quote submitted → accepted → received. Session replay **off** by design (heavy; revisit with sampling later) | ~1–1.5 GB | | Error tracking | **GlitchTip** (Sentry-compatible) | What broke, for whom, with which stack trace — frontend (ErrorBoundary + fetch errors) and backend (all unhandled exceptions) | ~750 MB | | Metrics + logs | **Prometheus + Grafana + Loki/Promtail + node/postgres-exporters + cAdvisor** | Request rate/latency/5xx, container RAM, Postgres connections, disk pressure; full container logs searchable in Grafana | ~1.4 GB | The monitoring compose is a **separate compose project** — push-to-deploy rebuilds of the app never restart monitoring containers. ## First-time deployment (VPS) ```bash cd /srv/erp # the repo checkout used by the deploy webhook # 1) monitoring section of .env (see .env.example) — fill in real values: # GLITCHTIP_SECRET_KEY, GLITCHTIP_DOMAIN/HOST, GLITCHTIP_DB_PASSWORD, # GRAFANA_ADMIN_PASSWORD, POSTGRES_PASSWORD (already set), LOG_FORMAT=json # 2) the main compose gained a shared network — re-up once so it exists: docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d # 3) start monitoring: docker compose -f monitoring/docker-compose.monitoring.yml --env-file .env up -d # 4) GlitchTip is routed publicly through Traefik for the browser SDK: docker compose -f monitoring/docker-compose.monitoring.yml --env-file .env \ --profile public up -d glitchtip ``` Admin UIs stay **loopback-only** (same posture as the MinIO console): ```powershell ssh -L 3001:127.0.0.1:3001 -L 8001:127.0.0.1:8001 @ # Grafana → http://localhost:3001 (dashboards auto-provisioned) # GlitchTip → http://localhost:8001 (create the first admin on first open) ``` In GlitchTip: create an **organization → project** for the backend and one for the frontend, copy the DSNs into `/srv/erp/.env` (`SENTRY_DSN_BACKEND`, `SENTRY_DSN_FRONTEND`) and redeploy the app once. ## Product analytics (OpenPanel) Deployed from the upstream self-hosting branch (kept outside this repo — it ships its own compose + update tooling): ```bash cd /opt git clone -b self-hosting https://github.com/Openpanel-dev/openpanel.git cd openpanel/self-hosting ./setup # interactive ./start ``` Then: 1. Open the OpenPanel dashboard (expose it via Traefik on `stats.bennu-api-bahrestan.ir` following its docs — add the container to `traefik_network` and give the dashboard + its `/api` path labels), create a project → copy the **client id / client secret**. 2. Put them in `/srv/erp/.env`: `OPENPANEL_API_URL` (in-network URL of its api service), `OPENPANEL_CLIENT_ID`, `OPENPANEL_CLIENT_SECRET`, and `OPENPANEL_PUBLIC_URL` (browser-facing origin) — then rebuild the app: `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build api frontend`. What gets tracked automatically once configured: - **Frontend**: page views, `login_success`, `wizard_step` (funnel across the 5 quote-wizard steps), `quote_submitted`, `user_identified`. - **Backend** (server-side, cannot be blocked by the browser): `login_success`, `quote_offered/edited/accepted/arrived/expired/rejected`, `receipt_confirmed` — see `backend/app/services/analytics.py`. Without the env vars everything is a no-op — the app never waits on analytics (3 s timeout, swallow-all). ## Session replay Deliberately **off** (records full DOM of every session → storage + privacy costs; low value for a small internal team at launch). If wanted later: enable OpenPanel replay with **10–25% sampling** and review retention — budget +1 GB storage and re-check RAM headroom first. ## Alerting `monitoring/prometheus/alerts.yml` defines: API down, 5xx > 5%, p95 > 2 s, root disk < 10%, host RAM < 10%, Postgres > 80 connections. They appear in Grafana alerting; wire a notification channel (email/Telegram) from the Grafana UI when ready. ## Lean mode (if RAM gets tight) Drop prometheus+grafana+loki+promtail+cadvisor+node-exporter (~1.1 GB) and keep GlitchTip + OpenPanel only; add `uptime-kuma` (~100 MB) for up/down pings. The app keeps `/health/ready` either way — the deploy webhook uses it post-rebuild regardless of the metrics stack. ## What the app exposes for this stack - `GET /health` — liveness (process up). - `GET /health/ready` — readiness: Postgres + MinIO + Casdoor checks. Used by the deploy webhook after every rebuild. - `GET /metrics` — Prometheus format (unauthenticated, for scraping). - JSON request logs with `X-Request-ID` (set `LOG_FORMAT=json` in prod) → shipped to Loki by Promtail.
