Observability-as-a-Service (Engineering Monitoring)

Problem

Logs are overwhelming. You only notice issues when the system is already down.

Instructions

1. Aggregator: Set up a lightweight log forwarder (like Vector or Promtail) to push logs to a central database (Postgres or Elasticsearch).
2. Analytics: Implement a background script that polls for error spikes or latency anomalies.
3. RAG Context: Inject your architecture documentation (READMEs, design docs) into the agent's context so it understands what service is doing what.
4. Actionable Alerts: When an anomaly occurs, use the agent to analyze the logs in context and provide a summary + suggested fix.

Goal

Move from "Log Monitoring" to "Intelligent System Health".
