Miro Observability

Miro Observability

Overview

Comprehensive monitoring for Miro REST API v2 integrations: Prometheus metrics for request rates and latency, OpenTelemetry traces for request flow, structured logging, and alerting for rate limit and error conditions.

Prerequisites

Before applying this guide, confirm you have a Miro app or workspace appropriate to the task, a dedicated non-production board where changes can be tested safely, and only the OAuth scopes or administrative access the procedure requires.

Key Metrics

Prometheus Metrics

import { Registry, Counter, Histogram, Gauge } from 'prom-client';

const registry = new Registry();
registry.setDefaultLabels({ app: 'miro-integration' });

const requestCounter = new Counter({
  name: 'miro_requests_total',
  help: 'Total Miro REST API v2 requests',
  labelNames: ['method', 'endpoint', 'status'] as const,
  registers: [registry],
});

const requestDuration = new Histogram({
  name: 'miro_request_duration_seconds',
  help: 'Miro API request latency',
  labelNames: ['method', 'endpoint'] as const,
  buckets: [0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 10],
  registers: [registry],
});

const errorCounter = new Counter({
  name: 'miro_errors_total',
  help: 'Miro API errors by type',
  labelNames: ['error_type', 'endpoint'] as const,
  registers: [registry],
});

const rateLimitRemaining = new Gauge({
  name: 'miro_rate_limit_remaining',
  help: 'Miro rate limit credits remaining',
  registers: [registry],
});

const rateLimitUsed = new Gauge({
  name: 'miro_rate_limit_credits_used',
  help: 'Miro rate limit credits used in current window',
  registers: [registry],
});

const webhookCounter = new Counter({
  name: 'miro_webhook_events_total',
  help: 'Miro webhook events received',
  labelNames: ['event_type', 'item_type'] as const,
  registers: [registry],
});

Instrumented API Client

class InstrumentedMiroClient {
  async fetch<T>(path: string, method = 'GET', body?: unknown): Promise<T> {
    const endpoint = this.normalizeEndpoint(path);
    const timer = requestDuration.startTimer({ method, endpoint });

    try {
      const response = await fetch(`https://api.miro.com${path}`, {
        method,
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${this.token}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        ...(body ? { body: JSON.stringify(body) } : {}),
      });

      // Update rate limit metrics from response headers
      const remaining = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Remaining');
      const limit = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Limit');
      if (remaining) rateLimitRemaining.set(parseInt(remaining));
      if (remaining && limit) {
        rateLimitUsed.set(parseInt(limit) - parseInt(remaining));
      }

      requestCounter.inc({ method, endpoint, status: String(response.status) });

      if (!response.ok) {
        const errorType = response.status === 429 ? 'rate_limit'
          : response.status === 401 ? 'auth'
          : response.status >= 500 ? 'server'
          : 'client';
        errorCounter.inc({ error_type: errorType, endpoint });
        throw new MiroApiError(response.status, await response.text());
      }

      return response.status === 204 ? null as T : await response.json();
    } catch (error) {
      if (!(error instanceof MiroApiError)) {
        errorCounter.inc({ error_type: 'network', endpoint });
      }
      throw error;
    } finally {
      timer();
    }
  }

  // Normalize endpoints for metric cardinality control
  // /v2/boards/uXjVN123/items/345 → /v2/boards/{id}/items/{id}
  private normalizeEndpoint(path: string): string {
    return path
      .replace(/\/boards\/[^/]+/, '/boards/{id}')
      .replace(/\/items\/[^/]+/, '/items/{id}')
      .replace(/\/sticky_notes\/[^/]+/, '/sticky_notes/{id}')
      .replace(/\/shapes\/[^/]+/, '/shapes/{id}')
      .replace(/\/connectors\/[^/]+/, '/connectors/{id}')
      .replace(/\?.*$/, '');
  }
}

OpenTelemetry Tracing

import { trace, SpanStatusCode, context } from '@opentelemetry/api';

const tracer = trace.getTracer('miro-client', '1.0.0');

async function tracedMiroFetch<T>(
  path: string,
  method: string,
  body?: unknown,
): Promise<T> {
  const endpoint = normalizeEndpoint(path);

  return tracer.startActiveSpan(`miro.${method} ${endpoint}`, async (span) => {
    span.setAttribute('miro.method', method);
    span.setAttribute('miro.endpoint', endpoint);
    span.setAttribute('miro.api_version', 'v2');

    try {
      const result = await instrumentedClient.fetch<T>(path, method, body);
      span.setStatus({ code: SpanStatusCode.OK });
      return result;
    } catch (error: any) {
      span.setStatus({ code: SpanStatusCode.ERROR, message: error.message });
      span.setAttribute('miro.error_status', error.status ?? 0);
      span.recordException(error);
      throw error;
    } finally {
      span.end();
    }
  });
}

Structured Logging

import pino from 'pino';

const logger = pino({
  name: 'miro-integration',
  level: process.env.LOG_LEVEL ?? 'info',
  redact: ['token', 'accessToken', 'refreshToken', 'Authorization'],
});

function logMiroRequest(method: string, path: string, status: number, durationMs: number) {
  logger.info({
    service: 'miro',
    event: 'api_request',
    method,
    path: normalizeEndpoint(path),
    status,
    durationMs: Math.round(durationMs),
    rateLimitRemaining: currentRateLimitRemaining,
  });
}

function logWebhookEvent(event: MiroBoardEvent) {
  logger.info({
    service: 'miro',
    event: 'webhook_received',
    eventType: event.type,           // create | update | delete
    itemType: event.item.type,       // sticky_note | shape | card | etc.
    boardId: event.boardId,
    itemId: event.item.id,
  });
}

Metrics Endpoint

app.get('/metrics', async (req, res) => {
  res.set('Content-Type', registry.contentType);
  res.send(await registry.metrics());
});

Instructions

Use the ordered procedures and code samples in this guide as a sequence: begin with the prerequisites, apply the configuration or operational step for the target environment, then perform the documented validation or cleanup before proceeding. Keep credentials in the documented secret store; never hard-code them in source.

Output

Following this guide produces the Miro integration outcome for its topic—configuration, validation evidence, operational recovery, or a documented migration result. Record command output and relevant identifiers so a failed step is traceable.

Examples

Start with the smallest applicable command or code example in the relevant section, using a dedicated test board and non-production credentials. Confirm the expected response or validation result before applying the pattern to production.
