[FEATURE] Comprehensive Observability with OpenTelemetry Integration

[orenlab]

---

📋 Description

Implement enterprise-grade observability features including structured logging, distributed tracing with OpenTelemetry, and comprehensive metrics collection for both performance and business insights.

🎯 Objectives

• Implement JSON structured logging with correlation IDs
• Integrate OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing
• Add comprehensive performance metrics
• Create business metrics for usage analytics
• Provide monitoring dashboard examples

📝 Detailed Requirements

Structured Logging:

# Example log output
{
    "timestamp": "2025-06-09T10:30:00Z",
    "level": "INFO",
    "correlation_id": "req_123456789",
    "component": "pyoutlineapi",
    "operation": "create_key",
    "duration_ms": 245,
    "status": "success",
    "user_id": "user_456",
    "metadata": {
        "endpoint": "/keys",
        "method": "POST",
        "response_size": 1024
    }
}

Features to Implement:

1. Structured Logging

   • JSON format with correlation IDs
   • Configurable log levels and outputs
   • PII filtering for sensitive data
   • Request/response logging
   • Performance event tracking

2. Distributed Tracing

   • OpenTelemetry SDK integration
   • Automatic span creation for API calls
   • Custom instrumentation hooks
   • Trace context propagation
   • Jaeger/Zipkin compatibility

3. Performance Metrics

   • Request latency (p50, p95, p99)
   • Throughput (requests/second)
   • Error rates by endpoint
   • Connection pool utilization
   • Memory and CPU usage

4. Business Metrics

   • Key usage patterns
   • Data transfer volumes
   • API endpoint popularity
   • User activity analytics
   • Usage trend analysis

🧪 Acceptance Criteria

• All API calls automatically traced
• Correlation IDs link related log entries
• Metrics exported to Prometheus format
• OpenTelemetry traces work with standard tools
• No performance impact >5% with observability enabled
• PII data properly filtered from logs

📊 Metrics to Collect

Performance Metrics:

# Prometheus metrics example
api_request_duration_seconds{endpoint="/keys",method="POST"} 0.245
api_requests_total{endpoint="/keys",method="POST",status="200"} 1234
api_connection_pool_active_connections 7
api_connection_pool_max_connections 10

Business Metrics:

outline_keys_created_total 5678
outline_data_transferred_bytes{direction="upload"} 1048576
outline_active_users_total 42
outline_api_calls_by_endpoint{endpoint="/keys"} 2345
