Do you know what your Drupal is doing? Observe it!
summary
A Drupal module is built that instruments Drupal 8 to emit structured logs, expose metrics at /metrics and push traces so a single request can be reconstructed across Drupal and external microservices. It integrates Prometheus for scraping and storage, Jaeger for distributed tracing and Monolog for structured logs, injects trace IDs into log records, and ships Docker configs so everything can be run and inspected locally with Grafana dashboards showing correlated request, CPU, memory and entity-creation metrics.
