# SigNoz Telemetry Verification Guide

## Overview
This guide explains how to verify that your services are correctly sending metrics, logs, and traces to SigNoz, and that SigNoz is collecting them properly.

## Current Configuration

### SigNoz Components
- **Version**: v0.106.0
- **OTel Collector**: v0.129.12
- **Namespace**: `bakery-ia`
- **Ingress URL**: https://monitoring.bakery-ia.local

### Telemetry Endpoints

The OTel Collector exposes the following endpoints:

| Protocol | Port | Purpose |
|----------|------|---------|
| OTLP gRPC | 4317 | Traces, Metrics, Logs (gRPC) |
| OTLP HTTP | 4318 | Traces, Metrics, Logs (HTTP) |
| Jaeger gRPC | 14250 | Jaeger traces (gRPC) |
| Jaeger HTTP | 14268 | Jaeger traces (HTTP) |
| Metrics | 8888 | Prometheus metrics from collector |
| Health Check | 13133 | Collector health status |

### Service Configuration

Services are configured via the `bakery-config` ConfigMap:

```yaml
# Observability enabled
ENABLE_TRACING: "true"
ENABLE_METRICS: "true"
ENABLE_LOGS: "true"

# OTel Collector endpoint
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT: "http://signoz-otel-collector.bakery-ia.svc.cluster.local:4317"
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL: "grpc"
```

### Shared Tracing Library

Services use `shared/monitoring/tracing.py` which:
- Auto-instruments FastAPI endpoints
- Auto-instruments HTTPX (inter-service calls)
- Auto-instruments Redis operations
- Auto-instruments SQLAlchemy (PostgreSQL)
- Uses OTLP exporter to send traces to SigNoz

**Default endpoint**: `http://signoz-otel-collector.bakery-ia:4318` (HTTP)

## Verification Steps

### 1. Quick Verification Script

Run the automated verification script:

```bash
./infrastructure/helm/verify-signoz-telemetry.sh
```

This script checks:
- ✅ SigNoz components are running
- ✅ OTel Collector endpoints are exposed
- ✅ Configuration is correct
- ✅ Health checks pass
- ✅ Data is being collected in ClickHouse

### 2. Manual Verification

#### Check SigNoz Components Status

```bash
kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia | grep signoz
```

Expected output:
```
signoz-0                                      1/1     Running
signoz-otel-collector-xxxxx                   1/1     Running
chi-signoz-clickhouse-cluster-0-0-0           1/1     Running
signoz-zookeeper-0                            1/1     Running
signoz-clickhouse-operator-xxxxx              2/2     Running
```

#### Check OTel Collector Logs

```bash
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia -l app.kubernetes.io/component=otel-collector --tail=50
```

Look for:
- `"msg":"Everything is ready. Begin running and processing data."`
- No error messages about invalid processors
- Evidence of data reception (traces/metrics/logs)

#### Check Service Logs for Tracing

```bash
# Check a specific service (e.g., gateway)
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia -l app=gateway --tail=100 | grep -i "tracing\|otel"
```

Expected output:
```
Distributed tracing configured
service=gateway-service
otel_endpoint=http://signoz-otel-collector.bakery-ia:4318
```

### 3. Generate Test Traffic

Run the traffic generation script:

```bash
./infrastructure/helm/generate-test-traffic.sh
```

This script:
1. Makes API calls to various service endpoints
2. Checks service logs for telemetry
3. Waits for data processing (30 seconds)

### 4. Verify Data in ClickHouse

```bash
# Get ClickHouse password
CH_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret -n bakery-ia signoz-clickhouse -o jsonpath='{.data.admin-password}' 2>/dev/null | base64 -d)

# Get ClickHouse pod
CH_POD=$(kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia -l clickhouse.altinity.com/chi=signoz-clickhouse -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')

# Check traces
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia $CH_POD -- clickhouse-client --user=admin --password=$CH_PASSWORD --query="
SELECT
    serviceName,
    COUNT() as trace_count,
    min(timestamp) as first_trace,
    max(timestamp) as last_trace
FROM signoz_traces.signoz_index_v2
WHERE timestamp >= now() - INTERVAL 1 HOUR
GROUP BY serviceName
ORDER BY trace_count DESC
"

# Check metrics
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia $CH_POD -- clickhouse-client --user=admin --password=$CH_PASSWORD --query="
SELECT
    metric_name,
    COUNT() as sample_count
FROM signoz_metrics.samples_v4
WHERE unix_milli >= toUnixTimestamp(now() - INTERVAL 1 HOUR) * 1000
GROUP BY metric_name
ORDER BY sample_count DESC
LIMIT 10
"

# Check logs
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia $CH_POD -- clickhouse-client --user=admin --password=$CH_PASSWORD --query="
SELECT
    COUNT() as log_count,
    min(timestamp) as first_log,
    max(timestamp) as last_log
FROM signoz_logs.logs
WHERE timestamp >= now() - INTERVAL 1 HOUR
"
```

### 5. Access SigNoz UI

#### Via Ingress (Recommended)

1. Add to `/etc/hosts`:
   ```
   127.0.0.1 monitoring.bakery-ia.local
   ```

2. Access: https://monitoring.bakery-ia.local

#### Via Port-Forward

```bash
kubectl port-forward -n bakery-ia svc/signoz 3301:8080
```

Then access: http://localhost:3301

### 6. Explore Telemetry Data in SigNoz UI

1. **Traces**:
   - Go to "Services" tab
   - You should see your services listed (gateway, auth-service, inventory-service, etc.)
   - Click on a service to see its traces
   - Click on individual traces to see span details

2. **Metrics**:
   - Go to "Dashboards" or "Metrics" tab
   - Should see infrastructure metrics (PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ)
   - Should see service metrics (request rate, latency, errors)

3. **Logs**:
   - Go to "Logs" tab
   - Should see logs from your services
   - Can filter by service name, log level, etc.

## Troubleshooting

### Services Can't Connect to OTel Collector

**Symptoms**:
```
[ERROR] opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.exporter: Failed to export traces
error code: StatusCode.UNAVAILABLE
```

**Solutions**:

1. **Check OTel Collector is running**:
   ```bash
   kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia -l app.kubernetes.io/component=otel-collector
   ```

2. **Verify service can reach collector**:
   ```bash
   # From a service pod
   kubectl exec -it -n bakery-ia <service-pod> -- curl -v http://signoz-otel-collector.bakery-ia.svc.cluster.local:4318
   ```

3. **Check endpoint configuration**:
   - gRPC endpoint should NOT have `http://` prefix
   - HTTP endpoint should have `http://` prefix

   Update your service's tracing setup:
   ```python
   # For gRPC (recommended)
   setup_tracing(app, "my-service", otel_endpoint="signoz-otel-collector.bakery-ia.svc.cluster.local:4317")

   # For HTTP
   setup_tracing(app, "my-service", otel_endpoint="http://signoz-otel-collector.bakery-ia.svc.cluster.local:4318")
   ```

4. **Restart services after config changes**:
   ```bash
   kubectl rollout restart deployment/<service-name> -n bakery-ia
   ```

### No Data in SigNoz

**Possible causes**:

1. **Services haven't been called yet**
   - Solution: Generate traffic using the test script

2. **Tracing not initialized**
   - Check service logs for tracing initialization messages
   - Verify `ENABLE_TRACING=true` in ConfigMap

3. **Wrong OTel endpoint**
   - Verify `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` in ConfigMap
   - Should be: `http://signoz-otel-collector.bakery-ia.svc.cluster.local:4317`

4. **Service not using tracing library**
   - Check if service imports and calls `setup_tracing()` in main.py
   ```python
   from shared.monitoring.tracing import setup_tracing

   app = FastAPI(title="My Service")
   setup_tracing(app, "my-service")
   ```

### OTel Collector Errors

**Check collector logs**:
```bash
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia -l app.kubernetes.io/component=otel-collector --tail=100
```

**Common errors**:

1. **Invalid processor error**:
   - Check `signoz-values-dev.yaml` has `signozspanmetrics/delta` (not `spanmetrics`)
   - Already fixed in your configuration

2. **ClickHouse connection error**:
   - Verify ClickHouse is running
   - Check ClickHouse service is accessible

3. **Configuration validation error**:
   - Validate YAML syntax in `signoz-values-dev.yaml`
   - Check all processors used in pipelines are defined

## Infrastructure Metrics

SigNoz automatically collects metrics from your infrastructure:

### PostgreSQL Databases
- **Receivers configured for**:
  - auth_db (auth-db-service:5432)
  - inventory_db (inventory-db-service:5432)
  - orders_db (orders-db-service:5432)

- **Metrics collected**:
  - Connection counts
  - Query performance
  - Database size
  - Table statistics

### Redis
- **Endpoint**: redis-service:6379
- **Metrics collected**:
  - Memory usage
  - Keys count
  - Hit/miss ratio
  - Command stats

### RabbitMQ
- **Endpoint**: rabbitmq-service:15672 (management API)
- **Metrics collected**:
  - Queue lengths
  - Message rates
  - Connection counts
  - Consumer activity

## Best Practices

### 1. Service Implementation

Always initialize tracing in your service's `main.py`:

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
from shared.monitoring.tracing import setup_tracing
import os

app = FastAPI(title="My Service")

# Initialize tracing
otel_endpoint = os.getenv("OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT", "http://signoz-otel-collector.bakery-ia:4318")
setup_tracing(
    app,
    service_name="my-service",
    service_version=os.getenv("SERVICE_VERSION", "1.0.0"),
    otel_endpoint=otel_endpoint
)
```

### 2. Custom Spans

Add custom spans for important operations:

```python
from opentelemetry import trace

tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)

@app.post("/process")
async def process_data(data: dict):
    with tracer.start_as_current_span("process_data") as span:
        span.set_attribute("data.size", len(data))
        span.set_attribute("data.type", data.get("type"))

        # Your processing logic
        result = process(data)

        span.set_attribute("result.status", "success")
        return result
```

### 3. Error Tracking

Record exceptions in spans:

```python
from shared.monitoring.tracing import record_exception

try:
    result = risky_operation()
except Exception as e:
    record_exception(e)
    raise
```

### 4. Correlation

Use trace IDs in logs for correlation:

```python
from shared.monitoring.tracing import get_current_trace_id

trace_id = get_current_trace_id()
logger.info("Processing request", trace_id=trace_id)
```
