Self-hosted Observability Stack

Name: Self-hosted Observability Stack
Author: Brian Marcellino

Role: Operator · Terminal command: /observability-stack

Self-hosted Grafana + Prometheus + Loki + Alloy + Blackbox Exporter stack monitoring the Orqest ERP platform end-to-end — application metrics, host metrics, log aggregation, and synthetic uptime checks.

Highlights

Application-owned /api/metrics with strict cardinality rules (no user/email/lead IDs as labels)
Loki log pipelines for backend, nginx, and PM2 process logs
Blackbox Exporter probes for synthetic public-endpoint uptime checks
Sibling repository pattern: app repo owns instrumentation, infra repo owns runtime
