Observability Backends

Stable

How metrics and logs work in SPG99 and why Prometheus- and Loki-compatible backends matter for Console.

Updated: March 5, 2026

Observability in SPG99 consists of two layers:

  1. platform services publish metrics and logs;
  2. separate backends store and serve this data to Console and operators.

Metrics

Platform components publish Prometheus-compatible metrics. This matters to the user because these metrics power:

  • graphs in Console;
  • operational dashboards;
  • most fast diagnostics.

Logs

The logging layer makes it possible to:

  • view live tail;
  • search by substring;
  • export fragments for support;
  • quickly distinguish an application problem from a database lifecycle problem.

What this means in practice

If you use managed SPG99:

  • metrics and logs are already built into the platform;
  • Console relies on this layer for the Monitoring section;
  • you do not need to assemble minimal observability from scratch.

If you deploy SPG99 yourself, you must provide compatible metrics and logging backends; otherwise Monitoring will work only partially.

In other words, observability in SPG99 is not something you “add later,” but an important part of the operational model of the platform.
