Ideogram Observability

Overview

Measure whether accepted image work becomes a safe durable asset within its deadline and budget. Join application request, queue, vendor, webhook or polling, download, storage, and publication stages using opaque identifiers rather than prompts or media.

Prerequisites

• Service boundaries, SLO, error budget, budget window, owners, and incident thresholds.
• A data dictionary and cardinality policy for metrics, logs, and traces.
• Known endpoint, queue, async state, safety, storage, and cleanup transitions.

Current Contract

Useful vendor-facing signals include endpoint family, HTTP status, generation_id, async state, is_image_safe, URL-present boolean, and timing. Default capacity is 10 in-flight requests, while actual account behavior and current pricing must be observed at decision time.

Authentication

Telemetry must record only that server-side Api-Key authentication was configured or rejected. Never capture the header value, prompts, structured prompts, source images, output images, signed URLs, or raw payload bodies.
