Instrument a service for production: structured logs, metrics (RED/USE), distributed tracing, error tracking, SLOs and alerting. OpenTelemetry-first.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# observability

Make a running system legible: what happened (logs), is it healthy (metrics), where did time go (traces). Default to **OpenTelemetry** — instrument once, export anywhere.

## The three pillars (reach for the right one)
- **Logs** — one event: "what exactly happened in this request?" Detail-rich, expensive at volume.
- **Metrics** — aggregates and trends: "is the system healthy?" Cheap, numeric; not for high-cardinality per-entity questions.
- **Traces** — causality across services: "where did time go for this request?"
Prefer **one wide, structured event per unit of work** (a span carrying user/route/version/timing/outcome) over scattered thin log lines — it's queryable after the fact.

## Structured logging
JSON, one object per line, with `timestamp`, `level`, `service`, `trace_id`/`span_id` and a propagated request/correlation ID. **Never log** secrets, tokens, passwords, auth headers, or PII beyond what's lawful — redact at the logger. Sample INFO/DEBUG at volume; keep all errors. Libraries: pino (Node), zap/zerolog/slog (Go), structlog (Python). `references/logging.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add umararshad4/honey-stack/observability@sha256:e6296ef5b7ba72c2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.c52b424, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
