Available Metrics

Prometheus Scrape Configuration

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'justapi'

      - targets: ['localhost:8000']
    metrics_path: /metrics
    scrape_interval: 15s

Grafana Dashboard

Key panels to create:

1. Request Rate — rate(requests_total[1m]) by route
2. Latency — histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))
3. Error Ratio — rate(errors_total[5m]) / rate(requests_total[5m])
4. Active Connections — connections_active

Alerting Rules

groups:
  - name: justapi
    rules:
      - alert: HighErrorRate
        expr: rate(errors_total[5m]) / rate(requests_total[5m]) > 0.05
        for: 5m
        labels: { severity: critical }

      - alert: HighLatency
        expr: histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m])) > 1
        for: 5m
        labels: { severity: warning }

Built-in Alerting

JustAPI supports webhook-based alerting:

app.enable_alerting(
    slack_webhook="https://hooks.slack.com/services/...",
    pagerduty_key="...",
)
