Monitoring

Structured Logging

All requests are logged in JSON format with correlation IDs:

{
  "timestamp": "2024-01-30T10:00:00.000Z",
  "level": "info",
  "message": "Tool call started",
  "requestId": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "tool": "vic_planning_property_report",
  "metadata": {
    "address": "1 Spring St"
  }
}

Analytics

Enable Cloudflare Analytics Engine for:

  • Request counts and latency

  • Cache hit/miss rates

  • Error tracking

  • API performance metrics

Deployment Options

  • 300+ edge locations

  • $5/month base + usage

  • Lowest latency globally

Option 2: Vercel Edge Functions

See Vercel deployment guide for migration instructions.

Option 3: Oracle Server

Traditional Node.js deployment - see v1.0 branch.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

KV Namespace not found:

# Create namespace and update wrangler.toml
wrangler kv:namespace create "CACHE"

Rate limit errors:

# Increase limit in wrangler.toml
RATE_LIMIT_PER_MINUTE = "200"

Authentication failures:

# Check API key is set
wrangler secret list
wrangler secret put API_KEY
