# PostHog Observability

## Overview
Set up comprehensive observability for PostHog integrations.

## Prerequisites
- Prometheus or compatible metrics backend
- OpenTelemetry SDK installed
- Grafana or similar dashboarding tool
- AlertManager configured

## Metrics Collection

### Key Metrics
| Metric | Type | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| `posthog_requests_total` | Counter | Total API requests |
| `posthog_request_duration_seconds` | Histogram | Request latency |
| `posthog_errors_total` | Counter | Error count by type |
| `posthog_rate_limit_remaining` | Gauge | Rate limit headroom |

### Prometheus Metrics

```typescript
import { Registry, Counter, Histogram, Gauge } from 'prom-client';

const registry = new Registry();

const requestCounter = new Counter({
  name: 'posthog_requests_total',
  help: 'Total PostHog API requests',
  labelNames: ['method', 'status'],
  registers: [registry],
});

const requestDuration = new Histogram({
  name: 'posthog_request_duration_seconds',
  help: 'PostHog request duration',
  labelNames: ['method'],
  buckets: [0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5],
  registers: [registry],
});

const errorCounter = new Counter({
  name: 'posthog_errors_total',
  help: 'PostHog errors by type',
  labelNames: ['error_type'],
  registers: [registry],
});
```

### Instrumented Client

```typescript
async function instrumentedRequest<T>(
  method: string,
  operation: () => Promise<T>
): Promise<T> {
  const timer = requestDuration.startTimer({ method });

  try {
    const result = await operation();
    requestCounter.inc({ method, status: 'success' });
    return result;
  } catch (error: any) {
    requestCounter.inc({ method, status: 'error' });
    errorCounter.inc({ error_type: error.code || 'unknown' });
    throw error;
  } finally {
    timer();
  }
}
```

## Distributed Tracing

### OpenTelemetry Setup

```typescript
import { trace, SpanStatusCode } from '@opentelemetry/api';

const tracer = trace.getTracer('posthog-client'
