# Webflow Observability
## Overview
Full observability stack for Webflow Data API v2 integrations: Prometheus metrics
for API call counting and latency, OpenTelemetry distributed tracing, structured
JSON logging, and alerting rules for error rate and rate limit exhaustion.
## Prerequisites
- `prom-client` for Prometheus metrics
- `@opentelemetry/api` for tracing (optional)
- `pino` for structured logging
- Prometheus + Grafana (or compatible backend)
## Instructions
### Step 1: Prometheus Metrics
```typescript
// src/observability/metrics.ts
import { Registry, Counter, Histogram, Gauge } from "prom-client";
export const registry = new Registry();
// API request counter (by operation and status)
export const apiRequests = new Counter({
name: "webflow_api_requests_total",
help: "Total Webflow API requests",
labelNames: ["operation", "status_code", "method"] as const,
registers: [registry],
});
// Request duration histogram
export const apiDuration = new Histogram({
name: "webflow_api_request_duration_seconds",
help: "Webflow API request duration in seconds",
labelNames: ["operation"] as const,
buckets: [0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10],
registers: [registry],
});
// Error counter by type
export const apiErrors = new Counter({
name: "webflow_api_errors_total",
help: "Webflow API errors by status code",
labelNames: ["operation", "status_code", "error_type"] as const,
registers: [registry],
});
// Rate limit remaining gauge
export const rateLimitRemaining = new Gauge({
name: "webflow_rate_limit_remaining",
help: "Remaining API calls before rate limit",
registers: [registry],
});
// CMS items gauge (track total items across collections)
export const cmsItemCount = new Gauge({
name: "webflow_cms_items_total",
help: "Total CMS items by collection",
labelNames: ["collection", "site"] as const,
registers: [registry],
});
// Webhook event counter
export const webhookEvents = new Counter({
name: "webflow_webhook_events_total",
help: "Received webhook events by trigger type",
labelNames: ["trigger_type", "status"] as const,
registers: [registry],
});
```
### Step 2: Instrumented Client Wrapper
```typescript
// src/observability/instrumented-client.ts
import { WebflowClient } from "webflow-api";
import { apiRequests, apiDuration, apiErrors, rateLimitRemaining } from "./metrics.js";
export async function instrumentedCall<T>(
operation: string,
method: string,
fn: () => Promise<T>
): Promise<T> {
const timer = apiDuration.startTimer({ operation });
try {
const result = await fn();
apiRequests.inc({ operation, status_code: "200", method });
timer();
return result;
} catch (error: any) {
const statusCode = String(error.statusCode || error.status || "unknown");
apiRequests.inc({ operation, status_code: statusCode, method });
apiErrors.inc({
operation,
status_code: statusCode,
error_type: statusCode === "429" ? "rate_limit" : statusCode >= "500" ? "server" : "client",
});
timer();
throw error;
}
}
// Usage
const { sites } = await instrumentedCall("sites.list", "GET", () =>
webflow.sites.list()
);
const { items } = await instrumentedCall("items.listLive", "GET", () =>
webflow.collections.items.listItemsLive(collectionId)
);
const item = await instrumentedCall("items.create", "POST", () =>
webflow.collections.items.createItem(collectionId, {
fieldData: { name: "Test", slug: "test" },
})
);
```
### Step 3: Metrics Endpoint
```typescript
// api/metrics.ts
import express from "express";
import { registry } from "../observability/metrics.js";
const app = express();
app.get("/metrics", async (req, res) => {
res.set("Content-Type", registry.contentType);
res.send(await registry.metrics());
});
```
### Step 4: OpenTelemetry Distributed Tracing
```typescript
// src/observability/tracing.ts
import { trace, SpanStatusCode, context } from "@opentelemetry/api";
const tracer = trace.getTracer("webflow-integration", "1.0.0");
export async function tracedCall<T>(
operationName: string,
attributes: Record<string, string>,
fn: () => Promise<T>
): Promise<T> {
return tracer.startActiveSpan(`webflow.${operationName}`, async (span) => {
span.setAttributes({
"webflow.operation": operationName,
...attributes,
});
try {
const result = await fn();
span.setStatus({ code: SpanStatusCode.OK });
return result;
} catch (error: any) {
span.setStatus({
code: SpanStatusCode.ERROR,
message: error.message,
});
span.recordException(error);
span.setAttributes({
"webflow.error.status_code": String(error.statusCode || "unknown"),
});
throw error;
} finally {
span.end();
}
});
}
// Usage
const { collections } = await tracedCall(
"collections.list",
{ "webflow.site_id": siteId },
() => webflow.collections.list(siteId)
);
```
### Step 5: Structured Logging
```typescript
// src/observability/logger.ts
import pino from "pino";
export const logger = pino({
name: "webflow-integration",
level: process.env.LOG_LEVEL || "info",
serializers: {
err: pino.stdSerializers.err,
},
// Redact sensitive fields
redact: {
paths: ["accessToken", "apiToken", "*.authorization", "req.headers.authorization"],
censor: "[REDACTED]",
},
});
// Log API calls with consistent structure
export function logApiCall(
operation: string,
durationMs: number,
status: "success" | "error",
metadata?: Record<string, any>
) {
const logFn = status === "error" ? logger.error.bind(logger) : logger.info.bind(logger);
logFn({
service: "webflow",
operation,
durationMs,
status,
...metadata,
}, `webflow.${operation} ${status} (${durationMs}ms)`);
}
// Log webhook events
export function logWebhook(triggerType: string, status: "processed" | "failed" | "skipped") {
logger.info({
service: "webflow",
event: "webhook",
triggerType,
status,
}, `webhook.${triggerType} ${status}`);
}
```
### Step 6: AlertManager Rules
```yaml
# prometheus/webflow-alerts.yml
groups:
- name: webflow
rules:
- alert: WebflowHighErrorRate
expr: |
(
rate(webflow_api_errors_total[5m]) /
rate(webflow_api_requests_total[5m])
) > 0.05
for: 5m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "Webflow API error rate > 5%"
description: "{{ $value | humanizePercentage }} errors in last 5m"
- alert: WebflowRateLimited
expr: |
rate(webflow_api_errors_total{status_code="429"}[5m]) > 0
for: 2m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "Webflow API rate limited"
- alert: WebflowHighLatency
expr: |
histogram_quantile(0.95,
rate(webflow_api_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m])
) > 3
for: 5m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "Webflow P95 latency > 3s"
- alert: WebflowDown
expr: |
sum(rate(webflow_api_requests_total{status_code=~"5.."}[5m])) /
sum(rate(webflow_api_requests_total[5m])) > 0.5
for: 2m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "Webflow API > 50% server errors"
- alert: WebflowRateLimitLow
expr: webflow_rate_limit_remaining < 10
for: 1m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "Webflow rate limit nearly exhausted"
```
### Step 7: Grafana Dashboard Queries
```json
{
"panels": [
{
"title": "Request Rate by Operation",
"targets": [{ "expr": "sum by (operation) (rate(webflow_api_requests_total[5m]))" }]
},
{
"title": "Error Rate",
"targets": [{ "expr": "sum(rate(webflow_api_errors_total[5m])) / sum(rate(webflow_api_requests_total[5m]))" }]
},
{
"title": "Latency P50 / P95 / P99",
"targets": [
{ "expr": "histogram_quantile(0.5, rate(webflow_api_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))", "legendFormat": "p50" },
{ "expr": "histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(webflow_api_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))", "legendFormat": "p95" },
{ "expr": "histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(webflow_api_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))", "legendFormat": "p99" }
]
},
{
"title": "Rate Limit Remaining",
"targets": [{ "expr": "webflow_rate_limit_remaining" }]
},
{
"title": "Webhook Events by Type",
"targets": [{ "expr": "sum by (trigger_type) (rate(webflow_webhook_events_total[5m]))" }]
}
]
}
```
## Output
- Prometheus metrics: request count, latency histogram, error rate, rate limit gauge
- OpenTelemetry tracing for end-to-end request visibility
- Structured JSON logging with PII redaction
- AlertManager rules for error rate, latency, and rate limits
- Grafana dashboard panels
## Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Missing metrics | Calls not instrumented | Wrap with `instrumentedCall()` |
| High cardinality | Too many label values | Limit `operation` to known set |
| Trace gaps | Missing context propagation | Pass OTel context in async calls |
| Alert storms | Thresholds too sensitive | Increase `for` duration |
