Configuration Options

Environment Variables

ANALYTICS_SAMPLE_RATE=0.1          # Production sampling rate
ANALYTICS_RETENTION_DAYS=90          # Data retention period
ANALYTICS_WS_PORT=8080              # WebSocket port
ANALYTICS_ERROR_RATE_THRESHOLD=10     # Alert threshold
ANALYTICS_RESPONSE_TIME_THRESHOLD=2000 # Response time threshold
ANALYTICS_MEMORY_THRESHOLD=500       # Memory threshold

Middleware Configuration

  • Configurable sampling rates
  • Exclusion paths for health endpoints

  • Performance impact controls

Performance Considerations

Optimization Features

  • Sampling: Configurable sampling reduces production overhead
  • Async Processing: Non-blocking analytics operations
  • Batch Operations: Efficient database writes
  • Indexing: Optimized query performance
  • Aggregation: Pre-computed statistics for fast queries

Resource Management

  • Connection Pooling: Efficient database usage
  • Memory Management: Automatic cleanup of old data
  • WebSocket Management: Connection health monitoring

  • Configurable IP anonymization
  • Data retention policies
  • Role-based access controls

Performance Isolation

  • Analytics failures don't affect main API
  • Minimal overhead through sampling
  • Async processing prevents blocking
  • Error isolation

Alerting System

Alert Types
