Verification Commands

# Run metrics tests
cargo test --package miroir-proxy --test p7_1_core_metrics

# Run logging tests
cargo test --package miroir-proxy --test p7_5_structured_logging

# Validate dashboard JSON
python3 -c "import json; json.load(open('charts/miroir/dashboards/miroir-overview.json'))"

# List all alerts
grep -E 'alert: Miroir' charts/miroir/templates/miroir-prometheusrule.yaml

# Verify ServiceMonitor structure
grep -E '^apiVersion:|^kind:|selector:|endpoints:|port:|path:' charts/miroir/templates/miroir-servicemonitor.yaml

Notes

• All metrics are prefixed with miroir_ for easy identification
• Feature-gated metrics (§13.11–§13.21) are only registered when the corresponding feature is enabled
• Resource-pressure metrics (§14.9) are always present
• Structured logging uses tracing-subscriber with JSON formatter
• Request IDs are 8-character hex values, propagated via X-Request-Id header
• OTel tracing is disabled by default, enabled via tracing.enabled config
