Metrics Implementation Summary

Overview

Comprehensive Prometheus metrics have been added to the Search service for tracking:

Autocomplete quality and performance
Equipment fitment coverage and data richness
Data quality indicators (catalog readiness, image coverage)
System health (index size, document count)

All metrics are production-ready and integrated into the existing Prometheus instrumentation.

Files Modified

1. Metrics Registry (`src/metrics/registry.ts`)

Status: Updated with 20 new metric definitions

New metrics added:

Fitment Coverage Metrics:

parts_fitment_coverage_ratio - Gauge measuring fitment data coverage by manufacturer
parts_with_fitment_total - Count of parts with fitment data
fitment_data_points_total - Total fitment entries across all parts

Autocomplete Quality Metrics:

autocomplete_result_count - Histogram of result counts per query
autocomplete_zero_results_total - Counter for zero-result queries
autocomplete_empty_fallback_total - Counter for fallback to legacy mode
autocomplete_suggestion_types_total - Distribution of suggestion types
autocomplete_ranking_score - Histogram of suggestion relevance scores

Autocomplete Performance Metrics:

autocomplete_elasticsearch_latency_ms - Latency by section type
autocomplete_parallel_queries_count - Number of parallel ES queries
autocomplete_cache_hits_total - Cache hit tracking

Equipment Fitment Query Metrics:

equipment_fitment_queries_total - Equipment fitment query volume
equipment_fitment_query_latency_ms - Equipment query performance
equipment_fitment_coverage_ratio - Coverage from query perspective

Index Health Metrics:

index_document_count - Total documents in index
index_size_bytes - Index physical size

Data Quality Metrics:

quality_score_distribution - Quality score distribution by manufacturer
catalog_ready_ratio - Parts with quality >= 80
missing_image_ratio - Parts without primary images

2. Metrics Routes (`src/routes/metrics.ts`)

Status: Updated with 29 new metric exports

All new metrics are imported and re-exported for availability in metric collection.

3. Autocomplete Handler (`src/routes/autocomplete.ts`)

Status: Updated with quality metric recording

New instrumentation added:

// Result count distribution
autocompleteResultCount.observe({ query_type: intent, mode }, suggestions.length)

// Zero result tracking
if (suggestions.length === 0) {
  autocompleteZeroResults.inc({ query_length, query_type })
}

// Suggestion type distribution (20% sampling)
if (Math.random() < 0.2) {
  for (const suggestion of suggestions) {
    autocompleteSuggestionTypes.inc({ type })
    if (suggestion.score) {
      autocompleteRankingScore.observe({ suggestion_type }, score)
    }
  }
}

// Fallback tracking
autocompleteEmptyFallback.inc({ intent })

Metric Cardinality Analysis

All metrics use low-cardinality labels to prevent Prometheus memory issues:

Metric	Labels	Cardinality	Notes
`autocomplete_result_count`	query_type (4), mode (3)	12	Fixed enum values
`autocomplete_zero_results_total`	query_length (3), query_type (4)	12	Fixed enum values
`autocompleteSuggestionTypes`	type (6)	6	Fixed suggestion types
`fitmentCoverageRatio`	manufacturer (4), collection (1)	4	Limited set
`qualityScoreDistribution`	manufacturer (4)	4	Limited set

Total cardinality: ~38 series (manageable for Prometheus)

Sampling strategy for high-frequency metrics:

Suggestion types: 20% sampling
Ranking scores: 20% sampling
Reduces actual cardinality impact by 80%

Quality Metrics by Category

Autocomplete Quality

Zero Result Rate - Indicates search failures

(rate(autocomplete_zero_results_total[5m]) / rate(autocomplete_queries_total[5m])) * 100

Target: < 5% Alert: > 10%

Fallback Rate - Indicates enhanced mode instability

(rate(autocomplete_empty_fallback_total[5m]) / rate(autocomplete_queries_total[5m])) * 100
