## 📈 Monitoring Implementation

### Application Logging

#### **Structured Logging Setup**
```typescript
// utils/logger.ts
import winston from 'winston';

const logger = winston.createLogger({
  level: 'info',
  format: winston.format.combine(
    winston.format.timestamp(),
    winston.format.errors({ stack: true }),
    winston.format.json()
  ),
  defaultMeta: { service: 'cim-processor' },
  transports: [
    new winston.transports.File({ filename: 'error.log', level: 'error' }),
    new winston.transports.File({ filename: 'combined.log' }),
    new winston.transports.Console({
      format: winston.format.simple()
    })
  ]
});
```

#### **Performance Monitoring**
```typescript
// middleware/performance.ts
import { Request, Response, NextFunction } from 'express';

export const performanceMonitor = (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
  const start = Date.now();
  
  res.on('finish', () => {
    const duration = Date.now() - start;
    const { method, path, statusCode } = req;
    
    logger.info('API Request', {
      method,
      path,
      statusCode,
      duration,
      userAgent: req.get('User-Agent'),
      ip: req.ip
    });
    
    // Alert on slow requests
    if (duration > 5000) {
      logger.warn('Slow API Request', {
        method,
        path,
        duration,
        threshold: 5000
      });
    }
  });
  
  next();
};
```

#### **Error Tracking**
```typescript
// middleware/errorHandler.ts
export const errorHandler = (error: Error, req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
  const errorInfo = {
    message: error.message,
    stack: error.stack,
    method: req.method,
    path: req.path,
    userAgent: req.get('User-Agent'),
    ip: req.ip,
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
  };
  
  logger.error('Application Error', errorInfo);
  
  // Alert on critical errors
  if (error.message.includes('Database connection failed') || 
      error.message.includes('Authentication failed')) {
    // Send critical alert
    sendCriticalAlert('System Error', errorInfo);
  }
  
  res.status(500).json({ error: 'Internal server error' });
};
```

### Health Checks

#### **Application Health Check**
```typescript
// routes/health.ts
router.get('/health', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  const health = {
    status: 'healthy',
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    uptime: process.uptime(),
    services: {
      database: await checkDatabaseHealth(),
      storage: await checkStorageHealth(),
      auth: await checkAuthHealth(),
      ai: await checkAIHealth()
    }
  };
  
  const isHealthy = Object.values(health.services).every(service => service.status === 'healthy');
  health.status = isHealthy ? 'healthy' : 'unhealthy';
  
  res.status(isHealthy ? 200 : 503).json(health);
});
```

#### **Service Health Checks**
```typescript
// utils/healthChecks.ts
export const checkDatabaseHealth = async () => {
  try {
    const start = Date.now();
    await supabase.from('documents').select('count').limit(1);
    const responseTime = Date.now() - start;
    
    return {
      status: 'healthy',
      responseTime,
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
    };
  } catch (error) {
    return {
      status: 'unhealthy',
      error: error.message,
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
    };
  }
};

export const checkStorageHealth = async () => {
  try {
    const start = Date.now();
    await firebase.storage().bucket().getMetadata();
    const responseTime = Date.now() - start;
    
    return {
      status: 'healthy',
      responseTime,
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
    };
  } catch (error) {
    return {
      status: 'unhealthy',
      error: error.message,
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
    };
  }
};
```
