🔑 Key Concepts

The Bug

Multiple execution log entries per retried notification led to double-counting when external systems queried raw logs.

The Fix

SQL Common Table Expression (CTE) using MAX(execution_attempt) to select only the final outcome per notification.

The Test Strategy

16 comprehensive tests covering:

  • Basic retry scenarios
  • Edge cases (max retries, immediate success, concurrent)
  • High-volume scenarios
  • Empty database and missing data

The Integration Pattern

API endpoint /api/schedule/execution-metrics provides deduplicated metrics, shielding consumers from implementation details.

🚀 Quick Actions

I want to...

...understand the bug in 5 minutes → Read EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY.md sections "The Problem" and "The Fix"

...verify the fix is working → Follow TELEMETRY_FIX_CHECKLIST.md items 1-3 (Pre-Flight Checks)

...integrate Prometheus → See docs/MONITORING_INTEGRATION.md "Prometheus" section

...integrate Datadog → See docs/MONITORING_INTEGRATION.md "Datadog" section

...run the tests

cd listener
npm test -- execution-metrics.test.ts
npm test -- retry-deduplication.test.ts

...see the API response

curl http://localhost:3000/api/schedule/execution-metrics | jq

...understand the SQL query → See ARCHITECTURE_DIAGRAM.md "SQL Deduplication Logic" section

...update the dashboard → See EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY.md "For Internal Dashboards" section

🆘 Getting Help

Issue: Tests are failing

  1. Check database initialization in test setup
  2. Review TELEMETRY_FIX_CHECKLIST.md "Troubleshooting" section
  3. Verify sqlite3 package is installed: npm list sqlite3

Issue: Metrics still show double-counting

  1. Verify you're using /api/schedule/execution-metrics endpoint
  2. Check monitoring system configuration files
  3. Review docs/MONITORING_INTEGRATION.md "Best Practices"

Issue: API returns empty data

  1. Check if notifications exist in database
  2. Verify notifications have status COMPLETED or FAILED
  3. Review TELEMETRY_FIX_README.md "Troubleshooting" section

Issue: Need to integrate new monitoring tool

  1. Read docs/MONITORING_INTEGRATION.md
  2. Use API endpoint (not raw database queries)
  3. Reference existing Prometheus/Datadog examples

📝 Maintenance

When to Review

  • Quarterly (check for new monitoring integrations)
  • After adding new external monitoring systems
  • When metrics appear incorrect
  • During onboarding of new team members

Keeping Docs Current

  • Update code examples when repository changes
  • Add new integration examples as tools are adopted
  • Keep test coverage metrics up to date
  • Review acceptance criteria annually

Version History

  • v1.0 (June 20, 2026): Initial comprehensive documentation
  • Future versions will be tracked here
