Payroll Health and Observability

Summary​

This page records confirmed payroll health and observability behavior and marks incomplete boundaries explicitly.

Audience​

Payroll users, developers, QA and support engineers, architects, and implementation reviewers.

Health​

A standard health endpoint is mapped after AddHealthChecks. No Payroll-specific dependency health check is registered, so it confirms host responsiveness rather than complete database, broker, projection, or downstream health.

Logging​

Shared observability replaces default providers with structured UTC console logging and includes scopes. Application and worker paths log connection, processing, and operation failures.

Tracing​

OpenTelemetry resource identity, inbound HTTP instrumentation, outbound HTTP instrumentation, exception recording, and optional exporters are configured centrally.

Metrics​

No Payroll-specific meter, counter, histogram, or metrics endpoint is confirmed.

Caching​

No Payroll cache registration or invalidation behavior is confirmed.
