# Observability

Metrics, logs, and dashboards for BlumeOps infrastructure.

## Components

- [[prometheus]] - Metrics storage and querying
- [[loki]] - Log aggregation
- [[alloy|Alloy]] - Metrics and log collection
- [[grafana]] - Dashboards and visualization
Phase 2: Add Reference section with 24 technical reference cards (#88) ## Summary - Create `docs/reference/` section with 24 technical reference cards - Services (16): alloy, argocd, borgmatic, 1password, forgejo, grafana, jellyfin, kiwix, loki, miniflux, navidrome, postgresql, prometheus, teslamate, transmission, zot - Infrastructure (3): hosts, tailscale, routing - Kubernetes (2): cluster, apps - Storage (2): sifaka, backups - Update README to mark Phase 2 as complete - Add towncrier changelog fragment ## Deployment and Testing - [ ] Build docs locally to verify wiki-links resolve - [ ] Deploy via ArgoCD and verify at docs.ops.eblu.me/reference/ 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/88 2026-02-03 14:27:37 -08:00			`---`
Update all docs titles to human-readable (#117) ## Summary - Updated frontmatter `title:` in all 63 doc cards from slug-case to human-readable (e.g. `borgmatic` → `Borgmatic`, `ai-assistance-guide` → `AI Assistance Guide`) - Titles now closely match file stems so `[[wiki-links]]` render naturally without alternate anchor text - Corrected titles that diverged from stems (e.g. `host-inventory` → `Hosts`, `grafana-alloy` → `Alloy`, `argocd-applications` → `Apps`) - Deleted `title-test-alpha.md` and `title-test-beta.md` test cards and removed their reference index entry ## Deployment and Testing - [x] `docs-check-links` passes — all wiki-links valid - [x] `docs-check-index` passes - [x] `docs-check-filenames` passes - [ ] Verify titles render correctly on docs site after deploy Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/117 2026-02-07 21:44:57 -08:00			`title: Observability`
Adopt Dagger CI for docs build (Phase 2) (#157) ## Summary Migrates the docs build pipeline to Dagger (Phase 2 of the Dagger CI adoption plan). - Backfill `date-modified` frontmatter on all 80 docs — Dagger's `--src=.` excludes `.git`, so Quartz can't use git history for page dates. Frontmatter dates work with or without git. - New `docs-check-frontmatter` mise task + pre-commit hook — validates all docs have `title`, `tags`, and `date-modified` - New Dagger functions — `build_changelog` (towncrier in Python container) and `build_docs` (chains changelog → Quartz build in Node container, returns tarball) - Simplified CI workflow — the ~44-line inline Quartz build (clone, npm ci, build, tar, cleanup) is replaced by `dagger call build-docs`. Changelog step remains local on the runner since towncrier needs to modify the host working tree for the git commit. ### Design decisions - Towncrier runs twice in CI: once inside Dagger (for the docs tarball) and once on the runner (for the git commit). This is intentional — Dagger's directory export is additive and can't delete the consumed changelog fragments from the host. - Artifact hosting stays on Forgejo Releases (not migrated to Forgejo Packages as the plan doc originally suggested). That migration can happen independently. - `date-modified` frontmatter preserved even though `build_changelog` installs git — the git there is only for towncrier's `git add` call, not for history. The local iteration story (`dagger call build-docs --src=. --version=dev` with uncommitted changes) depends on frontmatter dates. ### Local iteration ```bash dagger call build-docs --src=. --version=dev export --path=./docs-dev.tar.gz tar tf docs-dev.tar.gz \| head -20 ``` ## Deployment and Testing - [x] `dagger call build-docs --src=. --version=dev` produces valid 1.1MB tarball (149 HTML pages) - [x] Pre-commit hooks pass (including new `docs-check-frontmatter`) - [ ] Full `workflow_dispatch` run after merge 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/157 2026-02-11 16:33:16 -08:00			`date-modified: 2026-02-07`

Convert wiki-link titles to lowercase slugs (#92) ## Summary - Convert all frontmatter titles to lowercase-hyphenated format (e.g., `grafana-alloy` instead of `Grafana Alloy`) - Update all wiki-links to use the new slug format - Update `doc-titles` task to validate slug format (lowercase, hyphens only) Quartz appears to require titles without spaces for wiki-link resolution. ## Deployment and Testing - [x] Pre-commit hooks pass (`doc-titles` and `doc-links`) - [ ] Build docs v1.0.8 and deploy - [ ] Verify wiki-links resolve correctly (e.g., `[[grafana-alloy]]`) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/92 2026-02-03 16:06:35 -08:00			`- [[prometheus]] - Metrics storage and querying`

Enforce unique doc filenames and simple wiki-links (#109) ## Summary - Rename section index files to match their titles (tutorials.md, reference.md, how-to.md, explanation.md) so all filenames are unique - Convert all ~47 path-based wiki-links to simple filename format across 15 files - Update doc-filenames task to no longer skip index.md files - Update doc-links task to reject path-based links containing '/' This ensures all wiki-links work correctly in obsidian.nvim by making links resolvable by filename alone. ## Testing - `mise run doc-filenames` - all unique - `mise run doc-links` - no broken or path-based links - `mise run doc-titles` - no duplicates Reviewed-on: https://forge.ops.eblu.me/eblume/blumeops/pulls/109 2026-02-04 17:21:34 -08:00			`- [[alloy\|Alloy]] - Metrics and log collection`
