plone.observability
Kubernetes-style health probes, a pluggable Prometheus and JSON metrics endpoint, and optional OpenTelemetry tracing for Plone running in containers.
Plone's built-in @@ok view answers OK whether the database is reachable or not, right up until the process is too busy to answer at all.
plone.observability gives an orchestrator the real signals it needs: separate liveness, readiness, and startup probes on a dedicated port that stays answerable under load, plus a metrics endpoint your monitoring stack can scrape.
Features
- Liveness, readiness, and startup probes on a separate HTTP port
- A pluggable
@@metricsendpoint with Prometheus and JSON output - Request, ZODB, and content metrics with low-cardinality labels
- Optional OpenTelemetry tracing that honors the standard
OTEL_*environment variables - Extensible via the Zope Component Architecture: custom health checks, metric providers, and formatters
Installation
Add plone.observability to your dependencies, include its ZCML, and wire the WSGI filters.
