✅ Production Checklist

Before Deployment

  • Run demo to test: php examples/monitoring_demo.php
  • Configure thresholds in config/api.php
  • Set up alert handlers
  • Test health endpoint
  • Test dashboard access
  • Verify storage permissions

Deployment

  • Enable monitoring in config
  • Configure production thresholds
  • Set up alert notifications (email/Slack/PagerDuty)
  • Configure load balancer health checks
  • Set up Prometheus scraping (if using)
  • Set up log rotation cron job

Post-Deployment

  • Monitor health endpoint
  • Verify alerts are working
  • Check dashboard regularly
  • Review metrics weekly
  • Adjust thresholds as needed

🎯 Use Cases

✅ Development

  • Debug slow endpoints
  • Track error patterns
  • Monitor resource usage

✅ Staging

  • Load testing validation
  • Alert configuration testing
  • Health check integration

✅ Production

  • Real-time health monitoring
  • Performance tracking
  • Security monitoring
  • Incident detection
  • SLA compliance

✅ Operations

  • Load balancer integration
  • Auto-scaling triggers
  • Incident response
  • Post-mortem analysis

💡 Best Practices

  1. Set Appropriate Thresholds

    • Dev: Lenient (error_rate: 20%)
    • Staging: Moderate (error_rate: 10%)
    • Production: Strict (error_rate: 5%)

  2. Use Multiple Alert Channels

    • INFO: Log only
    • WARNING: Log + Slack
    • CRITICAL: Log + Slack + Email + PagerDuty

  3. Regular Maintenance

    • Review metrics weekly
    • Adjust thresholds based on patterns
    • Clean up old logs regularly

  4. Monitor the Monitor

    • Set up external uptime checks
    • Alert on health endpoint failures
    • Track monitoring system itself

  5. Performance Optimization

    • Keep retention period reasonable (30-90 days)
    • Run cleanup regularly
    • Consider external APM for high traffic
