Oriel

Self-Observability

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  • Migrations applied
  • ClickHouse reachable
  • First admin bootstrapped if you need UI access to _oriel

Steps

Section titled “Steps”

Self-observability is enabled by default:

[self_observability]
enabled = true
interval = "30s"
sample_ratio = 1.0

Oriel writes its own telemetry into the reserved _oriel workspace, project oriel, environment default, service oriel.

Prometheus-format metrics are available at:

/internal/metrics

The route remains valid even when self-observability is disabled.

Verify

Section titled “Verify”
Terminal window
curl -fsS http://localhost:6743/internal/metrics

In the UI, switch to workspace _oriel after bootstrap grants the first admin owner access.

Rollback/Recover

Section titled “Rollback/Recover”
  • If self-observability cannot start, Oriel logs a warning and continues.
  • If ClickHouse is unavailable, self-observability may be disabled while core dependency failures appear elsewhere.
  • To reduce trace volume, lower self_observability.sample_ratio.
